They really stepped in it, huh?
I’d hire this guy in a minute …
To represent someone I didn’t like —
So much for the theory that our country is “a nation of laws, and not of men.”
“It is not the first time Trump and his supporters have claimed that he is above the law.”
Desperate people do desperate things. That especially applies to slimy lawyers.
I guess he realized, he stepped in it ?
This asshole must have gotten his law degree as a prize in a Cracker Jacks box. Sad.
The House Judiciary Committee disagrees:
ARTICLE 1
In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice, in that: …
[the specifications follow]
– Articles of Impeachment adopted by the House Judiciary Committee on July 27, 1974.

I suppose it is an untested theory about whether a President can be charged with obstruction(or any crime) in the court of law.
That said, obstruction of justice is clearly a high crime/misdemeanor to which impeachment is a remedy.
I guess it may be true with this Congress that a President can’t be charged with anything, including obstruction of justice, because political will, not the law.
Many people are saying this.
###My client cannot have embezzled millions, your Honor – he’s the bank president, so he can do whatever he wants with the money! That’s just common sense!
If other parties are pretending to be the President, post
information pretending to be him, and do so without
presidential authority, this is a defacto coup d’etat. If this
is true, and the White House knew that prior tweets did
not always come from the president, they should have been
obligated to make that case in front of the courts as these
issues arose.
Look at that face!! This is clearly a man of high intelligence and integrity and we should accept anything he says without question. Donnie Short Fingers clearly knows where to get legal advice.
FUBAR!!!
Didn’t Nixon say the same thing?
That tie is awfully tight, can’t be good for the bloodsupply to the brain…
Trump’s fabulous wealth allows him to hire the top legal talent in the nation. Yeah, that’s it.
And I thought it was just a rumor!
Stress probably makes his goiter swell.
