Is anyone above the law?

Since the DOJ has drawn a line at charging a sitting president with any crime, it appears that any sitting president (not just the current one but any future one as well) is above the law.

@SW-User That line was drawn a long time before the left's imaginary crimes they allege were committed by the current president. Think back to clinton, it's the same reason he was not charged in a court of law for perjury and obstruction of justice. This is not new.

I just looked it up out of curiosity.

The indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting President would unconstitutionally undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions.

It looks like Clinton and Nixon both could have been charged for their alleged crimes even though neither were. Bush 43 would have been the first one immunized by this directive. The real irony is that it appears that it was the DOJ under Clinton that basically assured that Trump couldn’t be charged as a sitting president regardless.

Over here, these kinds of shows are just not alowed.
It's one guy, giving his opinion. And using things like: "milions and milions"
DACA wasn't made for people that made a concious choice
I sometimes wonder if the republic party pays for this kind of advertising?

Same goes for CNN btw, some stuff on that broadcasting network makes my hair stand up straight too. There seems to be no need for objectivity. It's just the opinion channel.


Not to mention this sick fantatic:

If that’s what Trump thinks, he’d be correct. Since the DOJ standard is to not charge a sitting president, it’s currently Trump but would be anyone who follows as long as that remains the standard. @pismo
