"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.1 We believe that the conclu
sion reached by the Department in 1973 still represents the best interpretation
of the Constitution.
The Department’s consideration of this issue in 1973 arose in two distinct legal
contexts. First, the Office of Legal Counsel (“ OLC” ) prepared a comprehensive
memorandum in the fall of 1973 that analyzed whether all federal civil officers
are immune from indictment or criminal prosecution while in office, and, if not,
whether the President and Vice President in particular are immune from indictment
or criminal prosecution while in office.
See
Memorandum from Robert G. Dixon,
Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel,
Re: Amenability of the
President, Vice President and other Civil Officers to Federal Criminal Prosecution
while in Office
(Sept. 24, 1973) (“ OLC Memo” ). The OLC memorandum con
cluded that all federal civil officers except the President are subject to indictment
and criminal prosecution while still in office; the President is uniquely immune from such process. Second, the Department addressed the question later that same
year in connection with the grand jury investigation of then-Vice President Spiro
Agnew. In response to a motion by the Vice President to enjoin grand jury pro
ceedings against him, then-Solicitor General Robert Bork filed a brief arguing
that, consistent with the Constitution, the Vice President could be subject to indict
ment and criminal prosecution.
See
Memorandum for the United States Con
cerning the Vice President’s Claim of Constitutional Immunity (filed Oct. 5,
1973),
In re Proceedings of the Grand Jury Impaneled December 5, 1972:
A Sitting President's Amenability to Indictment and Criminal Prosecution
Application of Spiro T. Agnew, Vice President of the United States
(D. Md. 1973)
(No. 73-965) (“ SG B rief’). In so arguing, however, Solicitor General Bork was
careful to explain that the President, unlike the Vice President, could not constitu
tionally be subject to such criminal process while in office.
In this memorandum, we conclude that the determinations made by the Department in 1973, both in the OLC memorandum and in the Solicitor General’s brief,remain sound and that subsequent developments in the law validate both the analytical framework applied and the conclusions reached at that time. In Part
I, we describe in some detail the Department’s 1973 analysis and conclusions.
In Part n, we examine more recent Supreme Court case law and conclude that
it comports with the Department’s 1973 conclusions.2"
and the matter is closed.
Ha Ha Ha, do you know who was President in 1973? Do you know who his vice President was and what happened to him. Do you know who said, "When the President does it , it is not illegal." Do you know what happened to the person that said that? Do you know about subsequent events and who was sued while President and had to make a deposition under Oath, while President.
Ha ha ha ha hah!!!
The depressing thing about this is how these establishment legal figures perpetuate themselves. There was ample public record that they at best were oppressive prosecutors with little regard for ethics or justice. Yet Trump of all people, appointed Rosenstein and Wray to big jobs, and Mueller was then anointed to go after Trump himself. Trump now seems frozen, caught between clueless or disloyal staff and a congress looking for an excuse to get rid of him. Sooner or later, he is going to have to turn on one of them and fight back. Short of Mueller indicting Ivanka, it seems unclear what will be required to inspire him to fight back.
Mueller's 'right hand man' was lawyer who represented the IT guy who set up Hillary Clinton's private server. It just never ends.

Yet another key member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller´s Russia probe appears to have deep ties to the Democratic Party. Aaron Zebley served previously as Mueller’s chief of staff at the FBI and as a senior counselor in the National Security Division at the Department of Justice. He also served as an assistant U.S. attorney in the National Security and Terrorism Unit in Alexandria, Virginia. He is often referred to in the media as Mueller´s "right-hand man." Also, in 2015 when he was a lawyer, he represented Justin Cooper, the IT staffer who personally set up Hillary Clinton´s unsecure server.....

Just when you thought special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 election could not be staffed with more political bias, another shoe drops. According to the Wall Street Journal, Mueller’s deputy investigator, Andrew Weissmann, attended Hillary Clinton’s election night party in New York City. (Photos/Tweets) Wall Street Journal reports: Mr. Weissmann also attended Hillary Clinton’s election-night party at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York, according to people familiar with his attendance. At the time, Mr. Weissmann was running the Justice Department’s fraud section, which is a senior career post within the agency.........

I was watching juan Williams and jesse waters babbling away the other day and comrade juan was following the script by arguing that fbi agents have private lives and are entitled be support candidates and that does not disqualify them - even if they have worked for a candidates team in some way.
Then jesse says "so you would be okay then having me investigate Hillary Clinton."
effing funny.
