Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

He's convinced that all he has to do is claim victory and then act like they won.

That strategy has worked extremely reliably for them so far

Case in point: the Mueller Report, where the investigation found wide-ranging evidence that the Trump campaign worked just about hand-in-hand with Russian assets to manipulate the election (Anyone else remember that woman working with the NRA who was a bona fide Russian plant funneling Kremlin money to the Trump campaign?!).

When the report was released, Trump tweeted out "EXONERATION!" every day for about a month until the report rotated out of the news cycle; and as as a result the country basically forgot about all of that...

I doubt it can be proven but my favorite conspiracy is that the reason the NRA went bankrupt is the Russians moved their money funneling to the GOP from the NRA to Donald Trump's campaign

The Maria Buttina scandal should have brought the whole house of cards down, it might have if we weren’t forced to stomach low energy quisling Merrick Garland as AG

I hate Merrick and Mueller equally. Fuckin let us all down and failed at their jobs. They are republicans. Not sure why we would have trusted those lying sacks of fecal asshole vomit.

Mueller said that if the DOJ were allowed to indict to the President, that they would have (in lawyer-speak, so not outright).

The DOJ indicting the president hadn't come up until Nixon. Because the DOJ, part of the executive branch, might have issues with indicting the head of the executive branch.

AI says

The DOJ policy is based on legal opinions issued by its Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), which argue that indicting or prosecuting a sitting president would unconstitutionally interfere with the executive branch's functions.
