There is a long held belief that not only should government officials have power but they need to preserve it (for "the institution") so thats it there even when they no longer are.
Its a weird thinking. Like instead of thinking "hey one day my enemy will have this job", they think, we must make this office/job MORE powerful all the time.
Even the courts are getting in on the act now (and giving themselves more work as a result).

This requires Trump to be able to keep secrets for more then 10 minutes.
Considering that every person who has been close to him, winds up turning on him.
I can't imagine him having dirt and not having it leaked or talking to people about it.

Yea but that still requires Trump not to blab to people about dirt.
Its a pretty big stretch that he wouldn't be telling people around him.
Its almost antithetical to everything he has done for decades.
He's even been known to divulge information damaging to himself in public (regarding business dealings in the past) despite his own lawyers telling him not to.
Its not totally unfeasable IF you can find a way to take Trump himself out of the equation (i.e. use someone else without trump).
