Hello Darth,
Hey, congratulations for using Rosenstein's actual name. That is an improvement.
Am I OK with him wearing a wire to make sure the President is following the law? Yes. Here's why. The President is not a private individual. He is a public official. The Chief executive has nobody directly over him that he reports to. How to we ensure that he is not overstepping his authority? How do we ensure that he is not above the law? We must have oversight. If the FBI or Justice department suspects that the President may be acting illegally, I WANT them to check up on him. I want every President to know that they are not above the law. They answer to us. A President works for us. We, The People. There has to be oversight.
If nobody is allowed to gather evidence, the 25th Amendment is useless. We cannot allow any individual to have absolute power.
What you call goal post shifting? No. I don't see that. What I see is a process of verifying that our President is operating within the law. If he isn't, we need to know about it and bring him to Justice. If he has done nothing wrong then he has nothing to worry about.
None of these measures would have brought Obama down. He was clean. The acid test is would I support these measure being used against any President, no matter what political party. I would. If there is no there there then a President has nothing to worry about.
If Trump is clean he has nothing to worry about.
The more he squawks about too much oversight? That makes me think he's dirty.
Trump is a total narcissist. He took the worst job he could imagine. First of all, he is not used to working for other people, does not do well in that capacity. Now he took on a job which gives a narcissist enough rope to hang himself. That appears to be what is happening.
It doesn't matter whether I am OK with the way it is going down. The pressure on Trump is not going to let up. And it shouldn't.
It's not a witch hunt. It is the way our nation is designed. It is our system of checks and balances.
Thank you, founders.
