The orange idiot obviously is trying to make the United States into a country where the rule of law no longer exists. It remains to be seen as to whether he will succeed.
As his whole life is involved with excused failure, since he is uneducated and not very bright, it is unlikely that he will successfully manage destroying the rule of law. (He's failed to do so despite the existence of many fellow traitors in Congress.)
I won't say its impossible, since it seemed impossible that such a bigoted moron could even accede to the office of the Presidency in modern times, but it is unlikely.
I'd like to see special handcuffs made to deal with his tiny hands.

(7,715 posts)That's what happened in March 1974 when Nixon's chief henchmen (i.e., Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell, Colson, and a few other lesser involved persons) were indicted for participating in the Watergate coverup.
Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski made sure that the grand jury returning the indictment talked about persons named and unnamed still involved in an ongoing conspiracy to obstruct justice. At the same time, what remained sealed and secret, was that Richard Nixon himself was named as an unindicted co-conspirator to obstruct justice. The view taken then was that a sitting US President could not be indicted (or that it would raise a huge amount of issues). The preferred way was to name Nixon as an unindicted co-conspirator and then transmit all the related evidence to the House Judiciary Committee which was considering passing articles of impeachment against Nixon.
If Nixon had been impeached and convicted, it was quite certain that he would then be indictable.
Let's see!
