Trump declares war on rule of law, attacks every top law enforcement official in America - TP
No one is spared.
In an extraordinary interview with the New York Times, Donald Trump unleashed an avalanche of caustic attacks on American’s top law enforcement officers, some of whom he had personally appointed.
In each case, the source of Trump’s ire was related to the ongoing investigation into his campaign and potential collusion with Russia.
Trump dismissed the entire notion of FBI independence, saying that the FBI Director only reports to the Justice Department “out of courtesy,” blaming the practice on Richard Nixon.
Taken together, Trump’s comments amount to a full scale assault on the rule of law from an increasingly paranoid president. - Think Progress

45 has been reduced to blathering paranoid incoherent comments. I think everything accelerates from here on out: more paranoia, more obstruction of justice, and probably governance getting much much worse.
McConnell and Ryan must step aside and we need to be rioting in the streets against the GOP's lack of oversight. This is getting out of hand. No, this is totally out of hand now and has been for months.
