The president has one core job under the Constitution: to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Not thwarted, diverted, blunted, revised or ignored. Faithfully executed.

Notice every Republican official addressing the media today (re: the DC airplane collision) go out of their way to make a positive mention of Trump.
They know he's watching.
Even in the face of terrible tragedy, they're all dancing for his favor.
It's a North Korean level of sycophancy.

Dear MAGA,
The inauguration will be a private affair. Just Trump & the broligarchs in the rotunda.
No seating for you.
No special events to acknowledge your support.
Not to worry. There will be emails later urging you to buy Trump coins, shoes, bibles, hats etc.
Keep that cash coming.
Be best.

If you are looking for the guardrails on MAGA extremism, it does not reside in government institutions or norms. It will not be found in legacy media newsrooms. Nor will you find any courage in the boardrooms of large corporations as they bow and scrape before Trump.

Garland counted on the end result to outweigh his approach.
When the result did not come to pass, he naturally became a target for the ginned up court of public opinion.
He has one last chance to prove his detractors wrong.
He must release the report.
