If the President does it, it's not Illegal

TRUMP MEETS EVERY CRITERIA FOR AN AUTHORITARIAN LEADER, HARVARD POLITICAL SCIENTISTS WARN

And this is exactly what the trump supporters (white nationalists/supremacists) really want. They want Trump to be a lawless fascist dictator because it will give him/them the power to further their agenda/ideology.

 

[mixmastermo]

Their position is that the President is completely above the law because he is the nation's chief law enforcement officer.


Totally insane.

Still better than Hillary though...

Did you forget about the e-mails?

It's funny that all the constitutional scholars around here from Obama's reign of terror are now besties with the most petty, douchebag hall monitor on campus and they don't want to give it up. People love authoritarians when they're on their side I guess.

 

[ShadowRun]

TS the next poll you make should
"Trump is a racist'
Trump is a Nazi"

Such great options like this poll.

Did Obama's lawyer say he couldn't be subpoenaed, wasn't capable of obstructing justice and he could pardon anyone involved in any investigation?

Just wondering because I must've missed that.

I mean, it's a pretty straightforward question. You either believe he can obstruct justice or you don't

What other options do you need?

No. Wait, did you think I was defending Trump?

Mueller will subpoena tRUmp
TRUmp takes the 5th every question
Mueller submits to Congress his report
House brings articles of impeachment on obstruction and we see how many bridges tRUmp burned in Senate

I do think tRUmp engaged in quid pro quo behavior with Russia amounting to conspiracy against the US but Mueller won't risk a SCOTUS battle also tRUmp may have had enough cushion between him and actors for plausible deniability, however, Jr sure seems to have made some solid fuck ups for a guy who wasn't on the campaign.

Of course. Is this supposed to be edgy?

The Presidents lawyers are arguing that, by definition, the President can not obstruct justice. That any actions he takes are by definition legal and in furtherance of obtaining justice.

I believe they're saying it's the president's right to fire the FBI director therefore that act is not obstruction of justice. They're not saying the president can obstruct.

The POTUS isn't an all powerful emperor. That's why he's president and not emperor.
We fought to rid ourselves of a king.

If he really tries to stand on this shaky ground, may he burn in the hell I don't even believe in.

This argument to me is all but admitting his guilt.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

and yet, Nixon

Resigned rather than be impeached.
Trump is egotistical enough to think he can get away with it.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Of course he can obstruct justice and it's illegal to do so. It's a shame that we're even in these waters when it comes to our government.

WILMINGTON, N.C. — "Donald J. Trump on Tuesday appeared to raise the possibility that gun rights supporters could take matters into their own hands if Hillary Clinton is elected president and appoints judges who favor stricter gun control measures." (NYT)
Maybe he'll call for another "second Amendment solution"

Chris Christie coming with fire

He'd be defending Trump to the skies if he'd gotten an administration position.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

You know, I think this crooked POTUS is going to finally clarify another's situationally -dependent definition of the word is:
"It is obstruction of Justice".

 

[Quequeg]

He'd be defending Trump to the skies if he'd gotten an administration position.

Crisco Christie is scummy even for a NJ politician.
