A lot of people were convinced he'd resign before even taking the Oath of Office. Then the steady drumbeat of things like "He'll be gone by the end of the week!"

It's taken how long to get Manaforth in jail? And then only because he was stupid enough to egregiously violate the terms of his house arrest.

DOJ says President can't be indicted, mueller must follow DOJ rules Cicada Jun 2018 #17

Whether or not Mueller can indict Trump is untested law, DoJ opinions aside. berni_mccoy Jun 2018 #18

Good thing SCOTUS can be relied on to stand up for democracy! librechik Jun 2018 #23

Mueller as DOJ employee must follow DOJ rule, no indictment Cicada Jun 2018 #58

DOJ only issued an opinion, not a law Downtown Hound Jun 2018 #30

You are correct! We should not cut pundits any slack when they make that specious claim. lagomorph777 Jun 2018 #34

Who decides? DOJ decides, no one else. Cicada Jun 2018 #62

So we're not allowed to point out they are acting on a false premise? lagomorph777 Jun 2018 #65

Correct. Cicada Jun 2018 #67

WTF? lagomorph777 Jun 2018 #74

DOJ will not indict per their rule. End of story. Cicada Jun 2018 #59

Again, not a rule, an opinion. Downtown Hound Jun 2018 #64

Big organizations have internal rules their employees must follow Cicada Jun 2018 #70

DOJ is absolutely wrong and their policy is not law. lagomorph777 Jun 2018 #31

You are not King of DOJ. They do not care what you think the law is. They decide, period. Cicada Jun 2018 #61

People have different opinions. Cicada Jun 2018 #71

"Most scholars believe a sitting president may not be indicted" Cicada Jun 2018 #72

I see - one quote from some person outranks the actual text of the US Constitution? lagomorph777 Jun 2018 #75

Yes, it does Cicada Jun 2018 #78

If you believe the President can't be indicted, you believe he is above the law; i.e. he's a Monarch lagomorph777 Jun 2018 #82

The president may be indicted at a later time Cicada Jun 2018 #83

Well, I don't think making up arguments not based on the text will save your guy. lagomorph777 Jun 2018 #84

Save my guy? I hate Trump, I want him to suffer 24 hours per day Cicada Jun 2018 #85

Every week, same thing. Hasn't happened. Heck, Cohen turning on trump is pure conjecture. Hoyt Jun 2018 #33

Cohen turned on Trump when he kept all those meticulous records. lagomorph777 Jun 2018 #36

If you assume there is something significantly illegal there. We thought Comey's meticulous notes Hoyt Jun 2018 #42

There's definitely something illegal in there. lagomorph777 Jun 2018 #43
