This isn't about what he can or can't do. This is about these stupid claims people keep making, like in your title (no offense!), about how consequences are just around the corner.

Then you ask them what's different this time around compared to the hundreds of empty threats and closed investigations, and they start making all kinds of excuses about the system. If you think he's a single senator by himself, what are you getting all excited for?

As for my list of people making stupid claims, I'm going to add Ted Cruz as well. Because he did make these bombastic claims in the past, and then crickets. So either he can actually do something (which, as much as I like Cruz, I seriously doubt), or he can't, in which case he should tone down his statements.

edit: upon rereading, I gotta say I think it's just my bitterness and frustration talking here. Cruz's recent grilling of Dorsey was great. he genuinely seems to want to make a change.
