The most ill-conceived memo in U.S. government history has got to be that ridiculous OLC memo that places a president above the law.
It put Trump out of justice's reach and every crony who did his bidding. It allowed the corruption of huge sectors of the Executive branch.

Without that memo, Trump would have been indicted for Obstruction of Justice before Barr ever happened on the scene.
Without that memo, Trump probably couldn't have run for reelection. He wouldn't have gotten away with threatening to fire McGahn unless he falsified documents; he wouldn't have gotten away with extorting Ukraine.
He surely wouldn't still be around to install people who are national security risks in top positions at the DoD.
It infuriates me that our entire nation was held captive by a memo.
