Stop waiting for the constitutional crisis that President Trump is sure to provoke. It’s here.
On Sunday, via Twitter, Trump demanded that the Justice Department concoct a transparently political investigation, with the aim of smearing veteran professionals at Justice and the FBI and also throwing mud at the previous administration. Trump’s only rational goal is casting doubt on the probe by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, which appears to be closing in.
Trump’s power play is a gross misuse of his presidential authority and a dangerous departure from long-standing norms. Strongmen such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin use their justice systems to punish enemies and deflect attention from their own crimes. Presidents of the United States do not — or did not, until Sunday’s tweet:

Leftists hate having the sun shine on their crimes.
The shameless still fear Justice.
Alot of lefties WILL BE going to prison - all the way to that conspirer Obama.
But these leftists enemies have done their intended damage - distrust/destruction of institutions is their ultimate goal.
Can you imagine Mr. Robinson’s reaction if a longtime FBI and CIA informant had made contact with three Obama campaign associates before the 2008 election as part of an investigation?
They are in a panic because the whole Fourth Branch concept/structure is under threat.
If DOJ is subject to Presidential authority, then so is the EPA, the IRS, every commission and study group, and all the rest of the rotten structure.
Right on!
I bet that if you had the logs, of visits and phone
conversations, of zero and Holder, it would number in the thousands.!!!
It's Eugene Robinson.
Another swing and a miss from Gene.
According to the American Left:
Constitutional crisis = a democrat not winning an election. Put differently, a Constituional crisis is even having a fair and free election.
The left has declared themselves to be the permanent rulers and, in their minds, that is what the Constitution (or their abstraction of it) states. All actions, any means, anything that effectuates their abstraction of the Constitution is fully justified. Is you resist or point out that the left is breaking the law, then congratulations. You have just created a “Constitutional Crisis.”
“The left has declared themselves to be the permanent rulers and, in their minds, that is what the Constitution (or their abstraction of it) states”
The Obamunists and their media lackies told us over and over again that there would never be another Republican President.
On the morning of the election, they were still telling the world that there was ZERO chance that Trump could win and this could be one of the largest landslides in history.
There is a large percentage of people who will refuse to admit that they could have been lied to by these Democrats.
That would have been rassssiiisssst.
In your dreams.
