I've been trying to explain the significance of Trump's statements on Session's self recusal to my buds down at the coffee shop but I'm getting a lot of blank stares. For all our jawing about it, I don't think most people have any real concept of the meaning of the phrase 'rule of law'.. It's just a nice sounding bit of blah blah blah, at least among my crowd.
I'm not sure which bothers me more: that Trump is trying to bend Justice and the FBI to his will or that he has no clue that this is something he should be embarrassed about. The man appears to think all the power of the Federal government is subject to the personal service of POTUS.
