(In fact, not to be too fucking cynical about it, but the reality is that fucking with the national security state is actually one of the FEW things the US political apparatus has show any appetite to hold truly powerful politicians to account for. Like, it's that and turning up in a hotel room with an underage person or a dead sex worker.
Nobody is saying the way our society works is MORALLY right. Just that because of how our society works, this is something Trump can't just blow off.)
