Yes I think legally the process for charging the president with a crime is the same as anyone else but the reality of it is that it would be more of a political decision, rather than a legal decision.

Nope, the fate of the free world rests solely in the hands of republican lawmakers. Sleep well.

He has a better shot next year, tbh.

More specifically, if a President was indicted by the DOJ, he would simply fire the USA and appoint one to drop the charges. Any State charges would probably be dismissed on Supremacy grounds/Secret Service laughing at the cops who tried to arrest him.

Wait, what's the whole point of the FBI targeting admin or campaign officials like Mike Flynn and flipping them against a bigger fish like Trump if GOP can just say "nope, FU"? Are we constantly wasting resources?

i wouldn't expect the terrorists to do us any favors. donald trump is the biggest boon to radical islamic terrorists they've ever gotten. donald trump practically founded ISIS. in fact he literally founded ISIS.

spicer: the tweet speaks for itself. the president was simply stating a fact.

Next week it will be, "Of course I didn't mean actual 'tapes' didn't you notice the quotation marks around 'tapes?'"

They might as well decide to cancel WH briefings since they aren't even answering questions anymore.

"The President's tweets speak for themselves."
"I'm not aware of that huge discussion we had all day."
"The President has been clear..."
"We're not gonna let you pick apart words."
"I already answered that in depth."
"The President has no further comment."
"I'll (never) get back to you on that."

It's become a complete clown show all around. We need Trump to GTFO."

Pretty sure he could technically be charged and tried in federal court, but it would never happen.

Supreme court has ruled that an active POTUS is immune in state and local courts for supremacy clause reasons.

Something else...

How can we ever complete an investigation when the President keeps tampering with evidence, intimidating witnesses, obstructing justice, disassembling committees, and demanding loyalty or be fired? Where's America?

i'm starting to imagine a scenario where trump records every private conversation so he can replay them alone with ivanka because he knows he has dementia and ivanka thinks they can hide that secret

in this situation, ivanka is knowingly covering up her dad's "light treason" in a modern improvised arrested development reboot

The potential for all this stuff was always there. The executive branch has WAY too much power.

We just been getting by because we've always elected presidents with at least some level of sanity.

We can probably remove DOJ from the above questions since they seem to be compromised as hell now too.

Which leaves only the FBI. Clearly they need to start targeting GOPers like Nunes and rolling them up until they surrender to Trump. Unless somehow the president is blackmailing them too with his "tapes" that he apparently uses.

1) The implication is that Trump may have recorded one or more conversations he had with Comey.

2) He's an idiot.

so Clapper just refuted Trump before his tweet

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewir...-investigation

Is this performance art or is Trump just a psychopath?
