At least consider the illiberal nature [0] of the way the current administration is rooting out the corruption, compared to following established norms to lay bare the corruption for all to see. For example, consider if during the current administration's first two years they welcomed oversight from the Republican House and Senate (a co-equal branch) to investigate and clear the President of the same things the Mueller investigation was charged with -- and then that branch (not the executive) investigated the origins of the Mueller investigation, to root out corruption. That kind of co-equal power play would have been a lot stronger than the reality of a bully executive branch trying to wade into doing everything with, what seems to be, little regard for what all future presidents can now do due to precedent, so why didn't that kind of cross-power oversight happen with a Republican-controlled executive and Congress?
