    Can they though? If Trump doesn’t obey the laws and Constitution, what’s to say he’ll obey Congress that derives its power from the same Constitution and laws?

    I don’t want to absolve them of responsibility here. They absolutely started this mess and actively want to continue it as long as they benefit from it, but I’m not entirely sure they could stop it now if they wanted to.

      You may be right, but we will never know until the GOP stands up to him and we see who blinks first.

      Of course they could stop it. They aren’t adhering to laws or constitution in their crimes, they could stop him the same way. Noone is holding them accountable for anything they do.

      But as you said, it is a moot point. They aren’t two groups of separate interests. The Republicans are one in this, they all want what Trump wants.
