"This better turn out to be true . . . or I don't ever want to hear another thing about fake news "

. . . way too much confirmation bias in this for my liking. It would be like getting a dossier suggesting Nick Saban is paying his players, and the officials and likes midget pony porn . . . all while his buddy at the NCAA licks his toes.

And if it does turn out to be true . . . no independent prosecutors or intelligence officials or Chuck Norris makes any matter at all . .. ONLY CONGRESS can act to affect a duly elected POTUS.

And if it does not turn out to be true . . . Congratulations on reaching a new low America. You've figured out how to make Donald #badword#ing Trump look good by comparison.

"The authority of government, even such as I am willing to submit to — for I will cheerfully obey those who know and can do better than I, and in many things even those who neither know nor can do so well — is still an impure one: to be strictly just, it must have the sanction and consent of the governed. It can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it. The progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy, from a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress toward a true respect for the individual. Even the Chinese philosopher was wise enough to regard the individual as the basis of the empire. Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly. I please myself with imagining a State at least which can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor; which even would not think it inconsistent with its own repose if a few were to live aloof from it, not meddling with it, nor embraced by it, who fulfilled all the duties of neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of fruit, and suffered it to drop off as fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more perfect and glorious State, which also I have imagined, but not yet anywhere seen."
