(8,861 posts)he's an institutionalist he may be trying to protect the POTUS office as an institution, the NY field office of the FBI, the perception of our election system, the perception of our overall strength in the world, etc..
That our president might be compromised, might be treasonous, might be incompetent, might be placed there by a foreign adversary would be earth-shattering news to institutionalists interested in the stability of our country and the world.
Could say the same about some dem leaders, perhaps Mueller, some gop leaders, certainly the nation's PTB/super wealthy...highest priority is protection of the institution, even over justice, truth, transparency.
I believe...I almost KNOW with certainty...that Trump's behavior has been worse than officially discussed. But it seems that -- except for pundits, some journalists, and some elected officials -- there's been an effort to ignore the obvious and plain-as-day dangers this president represents...as though they always knew this would end without the fireworks WE think there should be.
I still hold out hope that there are significant, mind-blowing legal and political shoes to drop, because...fairness and justice. Wait every day for it. But I can speculate that there are really strong, powerful forces in place that will keep that from happening.
