Donald Trump and the Rule of Law
By Jeffrey ToobinJanuary 6, 2018
トランプ大統領と法の支配

There’s been a bomb cyclone of revelations from and about the White House since
New Year’s Day. But there’s a pattern. It all stems from President Trump’s
contempt for the rule of law. The week began with a tweet from the President that,
in a quasi-normal political environment, would have led to an impeachment investigation.

Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding
basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign
agents. Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must
finally act? Also on Comey & others

Richard Nixon earned eternal disgrace for keeping a list of his political enemies,
but he, at least, was ashamed enough of the practice to know that he had to keep it
secret. Trump, in contrast, is openly calling for the Department of Justice, which
he controls, to put his political opponents in jail. This kind of behavior is a
trademark of the authoritarians he admires, like Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip
Erdo?an. It would be disgraceful under any circumstances, but it’s especially
grotesque given that there’s no evidence that Abedin did anything unlawful.
