Benjamin Wittes' list of Trump's aggression against the paramount law enforcement agency of
the U.S.A. is the form of reminder we should be given repeatedly. Notes of his list in that video

- Comey firing
- attacks on AG Sessions
- attacks on Dep. AG Rosenstein
- attacks on Special Counsel Mueller
- attacks on named, as Andrew McCabe and James Baker
- attacks on line agent Peter Strzok

Wittes says Trump's behaviour is "unprecedented" and "profoundly dangerous". i just stuck in some of the names.

Brian Klaas's concern that Trump's authoritarianism may not be a blip, because his and his
administration's actions are fundamentally changing institutions in the U.S.A. go to this one

Former Federal Judge: Trump Is Packing the Courts with Unqualified Conservative Extremists

Published on Dec 27, 2017 by Democracy Now! [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuqE7-t13O4NIDYJfakrhw / https://www.youtube.com/user/democracynow , https://www.youtube.com/user/democracynow/videos ]

With the confirmation of a 12th Circuit Court judge earlier this month, Trump set a record for the most appellate judges confirmed in a president’s first year in office. Early in his first year, Trump appointed conservative Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. But legal experts say Trump’s appointments to the lower courts will have the most impact on American life because they decide nearly all cases, ranging from voting rights and contraception to gay rights and immigration. Meanwhile, Trump’s nominee to a lifetime appointment on the U.S. District Court in Washington withdrew from consideration, after widely circulated video showed he was unable to answer basic questions about the law and had never tried a case in court. We get response from Judge Shira Scheindlin, former United States district judge for the Southern District of New York, where she served for 22 years.

And the next one there goes to the mention in the video of Trump's attacks on members of the judiciary, who don't agree with him, being dangerously anti-democratic.

Meet the Federal Judge Trump Attacked for Ruling NYPD’s Stop & Frisk Policy was Unconstitutional

Published on Dec 27, 2017 by Democracy Now!
We speak with Judge Shira Scheindlin, former United States district judge for the Southern District of New York, about her role in a case that found the controversial police policy of stop-and-frisk unconstitutional. While running for president, Donald Trump called for a nationwide stop-and-frisk program. “It was a bad policy,” Judge Scheindlin says. “It was not effective law enforcement … It obviously wasn’t deterring crime. All it was doing was alienating the community from the police.”

There are reminders again of so much more in that video. Trump's demands for loyalty to
him is a biggie. The first was i think at one of his rallies. Raise your hand out of loyalty to me.

Trump feigns surprise at concerns. The smarmy bastard. If it's not Heil!ish i don't know what it is.
