The corruptor in chief asked Acting Attorney General Whitaker to hamstring the investigation into his hush money payments by putting someone in charge of it who would undermine it. Whitaker declined to do as requested, but I think that merely asking for it was a crime on the corruptor's part.

But I don't think that will daunt him — he will simply dare Congress to impeach him.

I think this is just a step in a plan to eliminate rule of law in the US. It's not just that he would like to be an autocrat (though I suppose he does). I think he wants the US to eliminate the idea that people (other than him) have rights or political power.

Will Senate Republicans defend him no matter what the crime, no matter how solid the proof? Could he blatantly shoot someone on 5th avenue and get away with it, as he claimed in 2016?
