Laura is DEAD on, here. This is the exact same series of thoughts I had when the news broke.
If we, as Americans are not yet angry enough, it's only because we don't yet know the extent to which the VPOTUS and POTUS has circumvented the law.
The way to bring all of this out, and stop it from happening at all, is to indict the people who actually did it.
Breaking laws because "he told me to" will not be an affirmative defense....
