Dana Milbank of the Washington Post tars him as a President Passerby who seems to want no control over the actions of his administration. Milbank warns that hes creating a power vacuum in which lower officials behave as though anything goes.

President Passer-by my ass. This mutt and his toadies, especially Jarrett and holder, know in infinite detail everything that has happened, and everything is done through the indirect style of command and innuendo, and deny anything that has blowback. Intimidation and extortion, and the seeding of the civil service with lifetime synchophants, the cancer that is rapidly destroying the credibility of the US govt and its relationship to its people who begin to feel lke "subjects" to an Imperial government. BS is exactly the right comment!
Outspoken gay former Congressman Barney Frank was in San Francisco this week and told a gathering of the Commonwealth Club that while he wont consider a presidential run, he predicted the U.S. could have a gay president in 20 years.
Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, has never shied from speaking his mind, and he held forth on a wide range of topics during an interview with gay radio reporter Scott Shafer of KQED. The audience of over 500 people, including former Ambassador James C. Hormel and his partner, Michael Nguyen, gave Frank a standing ovation as he stepped to the stage.
Frank, with his husband, businessman James Ready, seated just a few feet away, is known for his humor and wit, and quickly had the audience laughing.
"Im glad to see so many of you who apparently have attention spans that exceed a tweet," Frank, 73, quipped. He said early in his 45-year political career, he always answered his phone with "How can I help you?" However, free from Congress, he now asks: "Why are you bothering me?"
Now retired, Frank said he enjoyed "freedom from stress." He said members of Congress were in the "grief business" because people only go to them when they have complaints.
Frank is spending his time now writing a book at his husbands place in Maine.

It assumes El President gives up power. Given the behavior and propensity of this one to double/triple/quintuple down with total disregard to the Constitution and law, it may be a moot point.

Certain about that 20 years? I seriously need to spend some time with the seniority roster of our aggrieved and deserving melting pot constituencies....

All the government investigation is 'legal', and they can even justify it because they uncovered infractions, but it was clearly not cost-effective use of governement inspection resources. Similarly, it cannot be proven to be politically-motivated harassment but almost certainly is.
