Can the rule of law be over-ruled by the power of public opinion?
That seems to be the strategy of Donald Trump. He keeps his base unified by sucking up to Sean Hannity. If truth be known, he probably thinks Hannity is a dumbass? But he needs him in his PR battle against Robert Mueller. Because, if he loses his base, the rule of law wins the battle.
