The repubs are happy to break the law by storming a deposition. They are willing to lie and give cover to an amoral and law-breaking president.

These are sad and dark times.

3. But here is more lawlessness -

their argument in court this morning (Federal Appeals Court for 2nd District) about why the Manhattan D.A. can't have the tax returns needed for a grand jury investigation into potential criminal tax fraud, etc (tweet from a WaPo reporter has the audio clip of one of the most draw-dropping arguments regarding the example of the President "shooting someone on Fifth Avenue" ) -

New York hearing on Trump's financial records:

JUDGE: "So what's your view on the 5th Av. example? Local authorities couldn't investigate? They couldn't do anything about it?"

...

TRUMP ATTORNEY: "No"

“Nothing could be done? That is your position?”

“That is correct”
