Buck asked. "We did not make that calculation," Mueller said, citing the OLC opinion. Buck later asked, "Could you charge a president with a crime after he left office?" "Yes," Mueller replied. This isn't the right thread for Russia stuff, but Shady, with all due respect (and I mean that sincerely, I like your posts), there's a very easy way to tell whether or not there was collusion or conspiracy (aside from the report stating there was not -- which it does multiple times): Collusion/Conspiracy requires more than one person to pull off. Meaning more than one person would be charged with said crime. Right? But only POTUS was protected by the OLC Opinion -- not the rest of the conspirators. So, if there was conspiracy/collusion, how come not a single person was charged with it after 2+ years? (Answer: because it didn't happen. It was a lie from the start) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Impeachment by the House and removal after conviction by the Senate is the sole remedy for a sitting President who is engaging in wrongdoing. Once they're out of office, then they can be prosecuted. https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/fed65.asp You are saying a President could not be convicted of a crime after s/he left office? I think what you responding to is a President can be removed from office via impeachment, but that is a political process, not a criminal process. If, after leaving office (or while in office) a President commits a criminal offense (say, murder, rape, car-jacking (yeah, yeah, but I couldn't come up with another one)) s/he could be arrested, tried, and convicted of a crime. There is nothing that stands in the way of that (unless as an attorney you know of a secret law I do not?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying that at all. 11 minutes ago, Buffalo_Gal said: If, after leaving office (or while in office) a President commits a criminal offense (say, murder, rape, car-jacking (yeah, yeah, but I couldn't come up with another one)) s/he could be arrested, tried, and convicted of a crime. There is nothing that stands in the way of that (unless as an attorney you know of a secret law I do not?). After they are out of office, the former president can be prosecuted for whatever crimes they may have committed within the statute of limitations (though an argument could probably be made that the statute of limitations should be tolled while the president is in office.) As sitting president, they must be impeached and removed from office first - that is the sole Constitutional remedy for a sitting president's wrongdoing while in office. It makes zero practical or logical sense to have DOJ officials who serve at the pleasure of the sitting president to prosecute the sitting president - thus the impeachment remedy.

B-Man Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 CHUTZPAH, THY NAME IS NEW YORK TIMES: Times: Epstein Suicide Conspiracy Theories Show How Our Information System is Poisoned. This is the same New York Times that, just for example, completely misreported the Trayvon Martin case (going so far as to deem George Zimmerman a “white Hispanic” to further its narrative, a phrase the Times never otherwise used) and was the leader of the lynch mob over phony rape allegations against the Duke lacrosse team. Just last week oped columnist Michelle Goldberg reiterated the myth that Trump called neo-Nazis “very fine people.” But it’s the rest of the “information system” that’s poisoned.

Aug 6, 2018 - Was President Trump admitting to collusion between his campaign and Russia? Was back to Epstein That same Russian lawyer had meetings immediately before and after Trump tower with... Glenn Simpson. Despite the fact she does not speak English (allegedly) and Simpson doesn't speak Russian. Natalia was also a Fusion GPS client on the Prevezon matter who was banned from traveling into the US. In order to make the Trump Tower meeting it required an emergency VISA from the State Department to be approved -- and it was. Rob Goldstone who set up the meeting is connected to Richard Dearlove of MI6, who was actively involved in helping run CI's at that time on behalf of Brennan and Comey. And to top it off, the only other person in the meeting was the translator... who was Hillary's personal translator while she was SecState. To recap: Everyone in that meeting not named Trump or Kushner was doing so on behalf of Clinton's campaign and the US State Department. That's entrapment, Shady. And it's backed with mountains of evidence. Despite this, nothing illegal took place at the meeting, even the FBI and every committee who has investigated it concurs on that front. The Trump Tower meeting is proof of the plan to "get Trump", not of Trump/Russia collusion. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
