Why I don't fear a Trump Presidency

Donald Trump has made it crystal clear that he doesn't care about conflict-of-interest allegations and plans to use the presidency to boost his family's wealth by as much as the traffic will bear. Republicans in Congress have responded by making it clear that this is fine with them, and now the House is making it equally clear that they don't intend to allow any serious investigations of corruption among their own members. It's going to be a free-for-all, and nobody with any subpoena power will ever be allowed to touch any Republican.
I didn't expect them to be quite so obvious about this. But apparently they just don't care anymore:

House Republicans voted Monday to significantly curtail the power of an independent ethics office set up in 2008 in the aftermath of corruption scandals that sent three members of Congress to jail.
The move to weaken the Office of Congressional Ethics was not public until late Monday, when Representative Robert Goodlatte, Republican of Virginia and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, announced that the House Republican Conference had approved the change with no advance public notice or debate.

Here are 6 things House Republicans want the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) to STOP doing:
1. The OCE should no longer be independent. Instead, it will be under the House’s Committee on Ethics, which is run by members of Congress.
2. The office will no longer be able to accept anonymous tips from whistleblowers.
3. The ethics office must stop any investigation if the House ethics committee tells them to.
4. The ethics office cannot investigate any tips on misconduct that took place before Jan. 3. 2011.
5. The office can no longer talk about its findings — even hire a spokesperson.
6. OCE cannot investigate any criminal cases or turn allegations of corruption over to law enforcement.

He would literally not be able to get anything done.
