In a bombshell report Tuesday, the New York Times revealed that President Donald Trump considered ordering the Justice Department to investigate Hillary Clinton and former FBI director James Comey.
The President was discouraged from targeting his political rivals with a DOJ probe by then-White House counsel Donald McGahn, who cautioned that using the DoJ in this capacity could have a range of negative consequences, from bad press to impeachment.
On CNN Wednesday, legal experts wondered about what the president was thinking. Former prosecutor and CNN legal analyst Shan Wu pointed out that although Trump’s actions—while profoundly unethical—might not be illegal, they show that he has a childlike and unrealistic view of presidential power.
“The president has this like third or fourth grader’s view of what it means to be president. The president can do anything!” Wu said. “And he completely ignores the whole structure. This is a terribly unethical situation.”

It's ok for a party not in power to investigate the one that is with no evidence but not ok for the party in power to investigate one not in power when there is insurmountable and overwhelming evidence of crimes committed. You need to get a grip. You're wasting your life away.

Actually, he is.
I've tried but he seems to have some kind of force field around his brain that prevents facts from entering.

Something is very screwy. These people cheer a cheap blowhard that has never proven himself, while he craps from above on brave men who have proven themselves many times over.

I guess, if you say so. After all, you are highly educated.

Spud, you don't have to suffer extreme boredom like this. Help is available.
Isn't there a local charity in Nampa for you to volunteer at?

That's great, Spud, glad to hear it!
Say, how's the cleaning of those forest floors going?
