4/ Similarly, if an FBI agent, or police officer, or attorney general commits illegal or unethical acts to hurt Trump, that's bad, but not an existential problem. None of those individuals or even groups can actually change the country. There are so many levels of appeals.

“Coordinating to remove” ...you mean impeachment? Which can only be done by democratically elected representatives? Seems like you’re contradicting yourself. If he’s impeached, how is that any less of the democratic will of the people?

We have lobbyists who claim to be Press. They are fabricating many false narratives, sometimes fed by bureaucrats, to manipulate public opinion. This is the crisis I see in regards to your vague claim "threats to US democracy" Seems no good faith here.https://mobile.twitter.com/AriDavidPaul/status/1038130439897137153 …

Your argument is that lobbyists manipulate be the public into wanting impeachment? So...disregard the will of the people because the voters have been manipulated? Both the pro-Trump and pro-impeachment arguments have the identical dynamic of claiming manipulation of voters.

No. The word Press we associate with truth. The word lobbyist highlights the bias making arguments non-persuasive. Describing things as they are inoculates

I honestly don’t understand this post at all or how it relates to mine. We know press is always biased and imperfect and that can vary in degrees. What does that have to do with preferring the will of the people’s elected officials when they support Trump vs impeaching Trump?
-
So many assumptions in your post that I just said no. And highlighted the issue . We have lobbyists, not Press, who align narratives around some lose facts. Again when these lobbyists are coordinating narratives with unelected officials to remove a president it's an issue.

There are lobbyists on both sides always.

Absolutely. I like neither lobby group. (especially despise the neo-cons) The deal with Trump. Objectively, he is the first peace candidate we've elected in 21st century. Wars need to stop death toll has been massive. And there's risk for larger tail events.

Removed how exactly?

Average American is thought to commit around three felonies per day. They can put anyone in a cage.https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704471504574438900830760842 …

Trump can pardon himself and has threatened to do so, even if an AG brings case, and jury of his peers convict, and he loses multiple appeals. Think of how many extraordinary things have to happen to remove a criminal from office. Far more problematic if we can’t remove.

Given 1) Every American is a felon, if they choose to prosecute. (Above link) 2) Great atrocities occurred under Bush-Obama. Iraq, Lybia, nearly Syria. Over a half million dead. No prosecution. What crime are you advocating Trump - elected to stop atrocities - be tried for?
