Why would a future president think there are any limits whatsoever on his actions, when a future of prosecution will never await him? Kind of what happened on Jan 6.
- pessimizer 4y agoIt's the continuation of the unitary executive of the Bush Doctrine that has allowed Presidents to act with impunity, along with the blank checks that Congress writes them in order to avoid responsibility. Mislabeling payoffs to prostitutes is a triviality. > Kind of what happened on Jan 6. A riot by angry admirers of the last President when they overran the White House with only token resistance? You prevent that by arresting him?
