There is little doubt in my mind that in the near future he will be committing crimes of his own (for all I know he may already have a few under his belt).

In effect, the President, as President Richard Nixon averred, is the Law and he has a "Get out of Jail Free Card". That the new President appears to be carrying this hair-brained policy forward is not really surprising because we are wed to a Military Industrial Complex that is , at basis , against the principles of the Founders who wrote the Constitution and so one can assume a Get Out of Jail Card Free is going to get increasing use as this degenerative march to Military Suicide continues apace. The only real change we'll likely see is the increasing lethality and chaos of International Affairs concurrent with a steady erosion of Civil Liberties. No mystery here, move along.....
