lol
it would be
and earlier this year he just wanted to hail mary such an interview
he'd be stupid to do it
Its not a would be
it's a definitive yes
is he doing it?
Mueller's report is mainly gonna be based on what we already know, but it'll certainly be an indictment on his actions during his time in the oval office
if he's not doing it, then it's a "would be" because he hasn't done it yet
He'll be served with a subpoena
With Kavanaugh's extensive history defending the president's executive powers, if such a case goes to the SCOTUS with him on the bench, it would certainly be an interesting outcome
I'm sure
I mean the only closest incident that can teeter to which way it can go is Nixon Vs. USA over the tapes
But a case as to whether a sitting president can be subpoenaed before a grand jury is another thing
politically speaking though, yeah the swamp can't be drained
all those wonderful checks and balances
Trump, as the sitting president, cannot be prosecuted as per the DOJ's two OLC opinions
As would be for Obama, Bush, Reagan, Bush 41, etc.
If you want to prosecute a president, they must be impeached and then you can appoint a prosecutor to pursue a criminal case against him if he so pleases
If even one branch of the govt gets corrupted, it can make life hell for the other two through checks and balances. If two are corrupt, the system is impossible to un-corrupt within the scope of said system
another Chesterton quote:
"The men whom the people ought to choose to represent them are too busy to take the jobs. But the politician is waiting for it. He's the pestilence of modern times. What we should try to do is make politics as local as possible. Keep the politicians near enough to kick them. The villagers who met under the village tree could also hang their politicians from the tree. It's terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged today."
*In 1973, the Department concluded that the indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting President would impermissibly undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions. We have been asked to summarize and review the analysis provided in support of that conclusion, and to consider whether any subsequent developments in the law lead us today to reconsider and modify or disavow that determination. We believe that the conclusion reached by the Department in 1973 still represents the best interpretation of the Constitution.*
Nixon's DOJ wrote the first memo regarding to a Presidential criminal prosecution which was re-affirmed by Clinton's DOJ decades later and it's still the DOJ's current policy, and Mueller said he'll follow the Justice department policy and regulation.
So all Mueller is going *to do* is write an obstruction report and detail Trump's actions in office pertaining to all things Michael Flynn, Comey, etc. and that report will decide whether that goes to the House for impeachment or just scrutinize Trump's reckless use of his executive authority.
A special counsel, which I'm opposed to except under extreme circumstances, wouldn't have been appointed had Trump just fired Comey in his first week in office, instead of firing him right in the middle of the probe which had the worst possible optics imaginable and then going on camera saying you fired him because of Russia.
I genuinely believe Trump fired him because he said to him in private, 3 times, that he wasn't personally under investigation and he was pissed that he wouldn't disclose that fact to the public due to the fact that because the FBI don't discuss on-going investigations. It's literally the most obvious reason.
