Disagree.
A truly confident fascist power wouldn't give two shits about pushback on an illegal order.
They care. They see the GOP involved in the investigation and they know without the full slate of the GOP complicit their grip on power is tenuous.
They are moving the pieces around to get to that point, and everyone sees it, and we're all shocked they haven't been dealt with yet, but we're not quite there.
When more people die on US soil, you'll know.
Here's the thing: Never in US history has a US president (or any other member of the executive, though I could be wrong on this one) been prosecuted or otherwise suffered an adverse effect for war crimes. Hell, Obama repeatedly got away scot-free with this exact same war crime, and nothing I've seen these past few years tells me the US has gotten better at prosecuting war crimes. Hell, at this point he can literally just call it an official act.
