By far the best brief analysis I've seen of President Trump's strategy to stonewall the ongoing investigation into his financial practices, by a New York City journalist who won a lawsuit when Trump tried to block publication of his 2005 biography "TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald." I'm reposting it here for easy access, since I want to keep referring to it.
I don't think Trump knows -- or cares -- about the rule of law in a constitutional system of government, and O'Brien explains why. The man is "a lifelong performance artist" who once said "one of his favorite business personas is the 'Outlaw.' ... The Outlaw archetype loves to break the rules. The motto of the Outlaw is: ‘Rules are meant to be broken.’" It's all a performance, and Trump isn't going to change now.
