Charges have been dropped against Michael Flynn.

Paul Manafort is released from prison.

Lawyers for the President argued before the Supreme Court yesterday that the President (if he’s a Republican) should not ever be investigated or prosecuted while in office – no subpoenas, no testimony, no indictments.  “Criminal process targeting the President” violates the Constitution, Jay Sekulow said.

Right-wing justices whined that making a Republican president abide by the law was harassment.  Holding a Republican President accountable to the law is trying to “torment” the president.
