"Unorthodox" Criminal ?

Senator Ron Johnson has accused some of these folks coming forward of trying to go after Donald Trump since Day one of his presidency because of his "unorthodox" style of governing. But is it "unorthodox" or is it criminal? The latter seems to fit much better.

Republicans have excused Donald Trump since Day one as being an "unconventional" president. Rather, he was more a lawless president.

Either we are going to have to change reality or we are going to have to change Webster's Dictionary?

The new definitions from Republicans do not fit our present reality.

... By defining federally criminal behavior as "not a crime" because the president is the boss of the attorney general. But

1) that's never been legally argued, and even if true

MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY

2) it's still a crime! The president is a temporary employment status with implied powers of self-exemption. But the person commiting the crime is still a criminal.

And the acts are still crimes.

We can't let them define any act by the president as legal!
