Current DOJ policy, not federal policy as a whole. Just an opinion by the DOJ, which can be changed at any time, by the AG himself with nothing more than his own say-so. There is no precedent of a sitting president (or vice president) having been indicted. That does not mean a sitting president (or vice president cannot be indicted). AG Elliot Richardson threatened to indict Vice President Spiro Agnew, an was fully prepared to do so. Rather than be indicted, Spiro Agnew chose to resign from office in disgrace. After that incident, Nixon decided to protect himself by ordering an attorney from the DOJ to give an opinion concerning the legality of the DOJ indicting a sitting president. We all know how that turned out. >his hands were tied but only so far as indicting... It was not DOJ policy to indict a sitting president. That does not mean he could not have done so. But like a good Marine, Mueller decided to play by the rules (of his own department). >but nothing stops the indictment from going forward once trump is no longer > a sitting president... The DOJ can change its policy anytime it wants. But I doubt it will do so, at least as long as Trump remains president. >GD>then there is no crime. > >bullshit... If a tree falls down in a forest and nobody hears it fall, did such a thing ever happen? >there are dozens, perhaps even hundreds of crimes perpetrated by trump... Not according to Trump. >many are well known... Not by Trump or any of his followers. >the epstein mess jumps to mind and that's fixing to be a nasty bit of > business... Epstein was Trump's friend. Until Trump unfriended him. --Lee -- We Put Big Loads In Tight Places --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: - nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland - (2:221/360) .
