It sounds odd to the ears, but the stage is being set. Bob Mueller is going to be fired. All investigations into President Trump’s connections Russia will be concluded. Republicans will cheer, Democrats will hiss. When the dust settles, the President will be above the law, and untouchable. Then we’ll be not the America of legend, but America II. The same Stars and Stripes will fly over the same buildings, but the flag will mean something altogether different from what it once meant, and the “of the people, for the people, by the people” buildings will be hollow shells.
