President Donald Trump is on a tear, attacking his own Justice Department, hinting at a pardon for Paul Manafort and making excuses not to cooperate with the special counsel during an important investigation. (The last, in and of itself, is dereliction of duty and evidence that it is impossible for him to “take care” in the enforcement of our laws.) What’s worse, Republicans are silent — or, worst of all, cheering him on. The Republican Party, in other words, is at risk of collaborating in the destruction of the rule of law. Unless something changes, this is the future of the GOP — corrupt, incoherent and authoritarian.
