2/ In the last month alone he has told many lies, fired Comey related to Russia probe, dissed long-time allies, re-attacked courts,
1/ Trump’s actions since January, & especially in last month, take us so far beyond normal that it’s hard to have any faith in Exec branch.
-
-
-
3/ Shut out & viciously attacked the press, reacted whole inappropriately to London attack, spilled deep secrets to Russians,
-
4/ Called appointment of Mueller by his DAG Rosenstein a “witch hunt,” called honorable former officials liars, etc. etc. etc.
-
5/ Given POTUS’s instability, it is not just courts that have reason to relax presumption of regularity for this Prez.
-
6/ We all have reason to do so about everything the Executive branch does that touches, however lightly, the President.
-
7/ .
@benjaminwittes took this view on 11-6: “DT does not enter office with a presumption of regularity in his work.”https://www.lawfareblog.com/burden-donald-trump … -
8/ I don’t know about 11-6, but this view is certainly warranted now and has been for a while.
-
9/ One thing DT behavior entails (as predicted, https://www.lawfareblog.com/libertarian-panic-unlawful-action-and-trump-presidency …) is many losses in court, and not just on the immigration EOs.
-
10/ Everything else Executive would normally win—reversing Clean Power Plan, terminating treaty, new regs, etc.—will be much, much harder.
-
11/ The impulsive, uncontrolled, ill-informed President infects the legal soundness of everything his administration does.
-
12/ As best I can tell, no President’s actions have ever so adversely affected trust in his administration, including Nixon during Watergate
-
13/ My sympathies for the honorable people (especially the honorable attorneys) working around Trump are greater than ever.
-
14/ Every hour they face the qu whether doing the normal thing in protecting presidential prerogatives is, with this POTUS, appropriate.
-
15/ Thus the question: How much can *executive branch officials* indulge the presumption of regularity in their work?
-
16/ And: To the extent that they can’t, how long do they continue to serve?
-
17/ And: How long should they apply normal executive branch principles to buck up this president? END.

Case for impeachment is formulated.
-
It is, but impeachment is a political process. Keep your focus on 2018.
-
Yes, and even then, they would need 2/3 of the Senate to convict. Not going to happen.
-
He's going down on Criminal Indictments.....
@GOP will be forced to impeach..or the spineless crook will resign. -
He will never resign, not his nature. As the walls close in he will lash out like a wounded animal. We will go through some very scary times
-
I wish a Reg Psychlogist would weigh in and tell us how it could end with a Narcissist PD person at the helm. Will his head explode? Please?
-
A semi serious answer: he could stroke out. Stress is a leading factor and with his diet and lack of exercise...
-
I doubt much of the daily governing stresses his I I me me brain (others 4 that). But he has a temper. So tweet away friends!
