      Not a stretch to say: the FBI criminally investigating Trump on the basis of the "national security threat" he allegedly poses, with the "threat" being his perceived policy preferences re: Russia, could constitute literal criminalization of deviation from foreign policy consensus

      "could"? That's what they're explicitly admitting to in this story!

      Well, it's a complicated story, which requires some nuance in how you word things. Nothing was formally criminalized (that we know of) but the specter of criminalization is bad enough.

          Say for instance that Trump ran on an explicit (rather than implicit) renewed detente with Russia. Then he's elected president with a specific mandate. Any move by the IC against that mandate is not simply a move against the president, but directly against the will of the people.

          It then has, in a fundamental sense, less to do with the office of the president and more with whether we still have a functioning constitutional democracy where the will of the people is inviolate. (including being able to change the constitution itself).

          FBI is in "damage control" they injected assets into Trump campaign because they had been illegally spying on him...needed to create justification for FISA to "cover their tracks"....makes Watergate look like stealing a candy bar...you know, I know and pretty much the whole world

          If @TulsiGabbard somehow wins in 2020 they will do the same thing to her. Maybe not the spying but they will work to thwart her foreign policy goals.

          Especially if it means our FBI is corrupt.

          No, Michael, Mollie's correct. Trump can't do or say anything wrt Russia w/o it being used as a bludgeon. He meets w/Putin. Bad. He doesn't meet w/ Putin. OMG, how can Trump avoid the Russian threat! See?
