Donald Trump’s regular attacks on the U.S. Justice Department, including accusations that the FBI spied on his campaign, strike some critics as “boiling the frog” -- seeing how far he can push his fight against a federal investigation ensnaring his administration. Trump’s taken a series of provocative steps since Special Counsel Robert Mueller began a probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election a year ago, from accusing the investigators of being politically motivated, to declaring that a spy was embedded in his campaign for political reasons and demanding an investigation. Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, who’s been at odds with Trump for months, and compared with president with Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin in a Senate floor speech, said there’s “a lot of alarm” about the president’s tactics, even among members of his own party, and that Republicans in Congress must do more to stand up to him.
