But if they think no one cares about the law, why is Trump running as a “law and order” president?

With Trump’s selective fixation on “law and order,” he is showing his hand: The phrase is nothing more than a racist dog whistle.

Trump’s White House:
Of course there are a record breaking number of Hatch Act violations, but if that doesn’t do it for you, there’s also the destruction of presidential records, and blatant violations of the Emoluments Clauses of the Constitution.

Trump’s DHS:
GAO found that acting director Chad Wolf was illegally appointed, but Trump is promoting him.
Trump rails against Latino immigrants as criminals, but told DHS officers not to worry about illegally blocking entry because he would pardon them. forbes.com/sites/andrewso…

AG Barr released a misleading “summary” of the Mueller report before the public could see it for themselves.
