I'll say it again:
Its looking increasingly like the Court of the Tangerine Tyrant has concluded (at least implicitly) that Nixon's well known comment (in an interview with David Frost) that 'when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal' should be a guide to action(s).
But while Nixon only meant this as a defence for prior actions, the Trump team are taking it as a prescription!
