I hadn't thought about them, but interesting connection. My thoughts ran to the only thing "cooler" than that (or more dastardly or whatever), would be for Trump to get re-elected and then pardon himself!

So far, none of the "crimes" Trump is being prosecuted for are real crimes, or even make sense.

True, it's all a nakedly partisan political witch-hunt.
