If Trump Wasn't President, He'd Already Be Indicted

Posted by JayZeeBMT on Sun Apr 28 01:54:55 2019

Two former federal prosecutors make a compelling case that but for Donald Trump's office, he'd have already been indicted for a slew of federal offenses.

And if Ihlan Omar wasn't a Congressperson from Minnesota, she'd already have been branded a garden-variety bigot.

And if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a skateboard.

In other words, you condone criminal behavior by Trump simply because he is President.

I will quote to you one of my esteemed law professors about the value if saying "if".

"We can 'what if' our way to la-la land but at the end of the day we have to deal with the facts."

Right now, Trump is President and Omar is a Congressperson and we have to deal with the protections, fair or unfair, they receive as a result.

No, this is a good exposition of the provable federal offenses Trump has already committed, and why he should be charged like any other criminal once he leaves the White House.

Here are four areas from the OP that clearly spell out Trump's criminal conduct:

"With so much to consider, it’s helpful to focus on four areas in particular where there are multiple reliable witnesses whose testimony corroborates one another, where some of the acts simply can’t be disputed because they occurred in plain sight, and where the evidence of corrupt intent and connection to pending proceedings are clear: (1) Trump’s efforts to fire Mueller, (2) Trump’s order to falsify evidence about that effort, (3) Trump’s efforts to limit the scope of Mueller’s investigation to exclude his conduct, and (4) Trump’s efforts to try and prevent witnesses from cooperating with investigators probing him and his campaign."

All of these things are plainly visible and have been corroborated by other facts.

Hillary has undergone four years of continuous investigation, and she provided Congress with 11 consecutive hours of sworn testimony. No finding of criminality was ever made.

Trump was investigated for about 18 months, provided no sworn testimony to Congress (he did write, "I don't recall" 37 times in his watered down deposition), and Mueller has found plenty of brooms in his so-called "witch hunt". There is plenty of independently verifiable evidence that Trump is a thug.

Add to that the fact the Constitution mandates Congress is the body to determine the criminal liability (in this case impeaching a president) NOT an Attorneys General appointed by that very president recently.

Problem here is that not indicting a President is not law. It’s not even written policy IIRC.

Given how many rules, traditions and, yes, laws he has upended maybe he should become the subject of the same.

WABB!

"In 1973, in the midst of the Watergate scandal engulfing President Richard Nixon, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel adopted in an internal memo the position that a sitting president cannot be indicted.

The department reaffirmed the policy in a 2000 memo, saying court decisions in the intervening years had not changed its conclusion that a sitting president is “constitutionally immune” from indictment and criminal prosecution. It concluded that criminal charges against a president would “violate the constitutional separation of powers” delineating the authority of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the U.S. government.

The 1973 and 2000 memos are binding on Justice Department employees, including Mueller, according to many legal experts."

Well, Hillary has been investigated to death and not ever immune from indictment, and they haven't found anything to pin on her.

As for Trump, they found two things almost by accident.
