Lawless

On Wednesday, the Washington Post broke the story (link here) that Donald Trump wanted the attorney general to hold a press conference to announce that the President had broken no laws on the now infamous telephone call with the Ukrainian head of state when he demanded a public investigation of his political rival.

This incident perfectly demonstrates how Trump has no respect for the rule of law. He sees the attorney general not as serving the nation but instead as a personal servant catering to all whims of the President.

As well, it demonstrates how Trump doesn't seem to understand that a President can be impeached for actions that aren't necessarily illegal. It's a political process, not a criminal process, but he seems clueless to this fact.

Further, it also demonstrates how Trump doesn't seem to understand the potential impeachment is about far more than just that single telephone call. It's about the repeated efforts of Trump and his administration to subvert national interests in favor of the President's personal interests.

The fact that Trump cannot grasp simple basics of his own possible impeachment underscores his incompetence and total unfitness for the job.
