Blame the SCOTUS justices who are responsible for the frivolous and dangerous "opinion" that the person at the head of all this chaos and madness is immune from prosecution for criminal abuses of power. The president always had the power to pardon his criminal co-conspirators, but one thing that helped discourage criminal abuses of power by the president's men was our ability to prosecute the president, himself. The people who framed our Constitution repeatedly emphasized that every public servant who was an impeachable officer (including the president) could be prosecuted for criminal abuses of power after he was out of office. The SCOTUS majority's so-called "opinion" to the contrary was, itself, an egregious abuse of power.
