illegal.
I would invite you to re-read this portion of my post:
If anyone in the government is illicitly using the power given to them by their occupation in the government to wrestle Trump out of power, I would suppose that to probably be illegal. Of course that could depend upon the circumstances, but it's probably generally true.
Given that there is a strong drive to try and get Trump out of power by many people who absolutely hate him &/or his policies, and given that we have seen plenty of recent examples of abuse of power, lying, spying and so on I think there's a reasonable probability that some illegal, illicit abuse(s) of power have occurred in this endeavor by a lot of highly motivated people to oust Trump. Time will tell, I suppose.
Even if it doesn't, however, the reasonable possibility that it could be makes it reasonable to discuss the possibility that it may have occurred, no?
And, as stated above, it's not an absolute requirement given the definition above.
