The first two paragraphs are a perfect example on why trump needs to be legally removed from office. Intimidation, Pressure and Humiliation: Inside Trump’s Two-Year War on the Investigations Encircling Him
WASHINGTON — As federal prosecutors in Manhattan gathered evidence late last year about President Trump’s role in silencing women with hush payments during the 2016 campaign, Mr. Trump called Matthew G. Whitaker, his newly installed attorney general, with a question. He asked whether Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York and a Trump ally, could be put in charge of the widening investigation, according to several American officials with direct knowledge of the call. Mr. Whitaker, who had privately told associates that part of his role at the Justice Department was to “jump on a grenade” for the president, knew he could not put Mr. Berman in charge because Mr. Berman had already recused himself from the investigation. The president soon soured on Mr. Whitaker, as he often does with his aides, and complained about his inability to pull levers at the Justice Department that could make the president’s many legal problems go away. Trying to install a perceived loyalist atop a widening inquiry is a familiar tactic for Mr. Trump, who has been struggling to beat back the investigations that have consumed his presidency. His efforts have exposed him to accusations of obstruction of justice as Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, finishes his work investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.

At that point, he won't be our President, so they can re investigate anything that is left when Trump shuts everything down. |

Trump still does not understand that all the federal employees are not 'his' employees, and therefore, not obligated to cover up his shit for him.
It's one reason why he keeps souring on his appointees - they fail to be dutiful minions, and insisting on doing the jobs they've been appointed to do in an ethical manner.
The nerve.

Doesn't matter, you won't read it, and it will promptly be labeled FAKE.
It will fall to the rest of us, the ones who don't think Trump is always telling the truth, to read it and, if appropriate, to act on it.

Sheesh - no wonder he was against judging and being mean. His whole thing would have made him quite an outcast. Especially in the South. |

Preteen. As per Jewish custom of that era, she was 12 when she was betrothed to Joseph. |
