Yet Trump is the exception to all rules.

NOW the Trump supporters want the new POTUS to follow the "norms" so they don't investigate him vs Trump claiming every day that everyone of his political opponents should be investigated and the DOJ actually investigating them.

So, to paraphrase something, if you're not guilty you shouldn't care about an investigation.  

But Trump will probably get a pardon anyway so it will be moot.
