President Trump’s Contempt for the Rule of Law
By THE EDITORIAL BOARDJULY 20, 2017

In less than an hour on Wednesday afternoon, President Trump found a way to impugn the integrity and threaten the livelihoods of nearly all of the country’s top law enforcement officials, including some he appointed, for one simple reason: They swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not him.

For a president who sees the rule of law as an annoyance rather than a feature of American democracy, the traitors are everywhere.

1. 3,500 lawsuits taught him the rule of law is about HIS golden rule

If you don't have the gold, you're a loser

2. I am sad to say that in this unjust system we live under where $$$ is king

He is right about that.

The main problem is now he is president not just a reality show con man trying to screw the contractors on his latest hotel.

Dump is trying to screw the entire country now with the help of his traitorous party.

5. His knowledge of government was limited to bribes and corruption

and now it's all about personal enrichment and industrial-strength looting of the Treasury - which suits the GOP perfectly

6. Bingo

There's the synergy alright.

3. You just feel that the pissing video has to come out soon.

4. Not as long as Twitler is a good little puppet for Putin

He ain't crossed him yet I think.

7. So much water under the bridge already that the pissing vid won't make much of a splash. . . nt

And his cabal.

11. This is now moving at 90mph

Once the Rule of Law is on the table, lots of important people pay attention -
intelligence, law enforcement, courts, judges, even some members of Congress

Firing/replacing Bob Mueller or pardoning slews of campaign collusionists is an
act of trampling the Rule of Law.

I think it is imminent. Like this weekend.

12. I feel the same

Trump is gonna pull the trigger real soon. I just hope he doesn't start a big diversion right before he drops the hammer.

Like a major war with NK for instance.
