Obama hid payments to Fusion GPS for Oppo on Romney

you told us the Constitution was completely silent on the issue.

The Constitution is completely silent on the issue. So in that sense the Constitution is immaterial regarding this particular issue.

So not only can you understand how the dead founders would feel today though your brand of necromancy ... you can also "athropomorphize" the U.S Constitution into thinking and anticipating... Its marvelous sophistry.

It fully anticipates, because the President is not above the law, that a criminal president will be indicted and tried.

"My grandfather" always said when an person has to re-frame the argument they just made... or when a person has to necromance with the dead Founders to tell you how they feel today, or he has to pretend the Constitution can think and anticipate... you should respond gently because they have trouble accepting reality and its grey areas.

you are also dealing with a leftist who most likely believes the Constitution is a "living breathing document", at best, or a crazy person...

Keep it up... I will enjoy watching you attempt to unpaint yourself out of crazy corner.

"My grandfather" always said

So it runs in the family! And so how do we know what the opinion of those who drafted the constitution would be were we to exhume them and bring them back to life? Glad you asked. We have a record of their considerable discussion on the matter of whether the President should be above the law! I leave it to you, as your homework assignment, to turn this up.

I am sure you realize a rhetorical device when you see it.
I was attempting to be funny...

I was sort of copying the device some celebs use when they don't wish to appear to be giving advice...

Like Tiger Woods whenever he had something smart to say would introduce it by saying, Pops told me...

So it runs in the family!

nah... that burden is on you... you are the one communing with the dead in your fantasy.

next time you commune with the dead and ask them how they feel about today... skip the peyote.

we did not even have a special prosecutor for about the next 100 years.

You're misquoting me again. So what's new. I never would have meant to say it THAT way! That is suggesting that the Constitution prevents indicting a sitting President. Some lawyer you are! The Constitution is completely silent on the issue. So in that sense the Constitution is immaterial regarding this particular issue. But our lovely constitution does, in fact, supply myriad reasons why there should be no prohibition on indictment of a sitting president. I am one hundred percent certain that if you could exhume all of the founders today, bring them back to life, and ask them "Can a sitting President be indicted," they would say "Of Course, you idiot, the President is not above the law." But they would not understand today's politics.

They wouldn't understand that in the 21st Century, in evil hands, indictment could become a political weapon. So of course the President can be indicted, the statutory and Constitutional law is completely silent on the question. But we ought to have some statutory law clarifying the issue and written in such a way as to prevent, so far as possible, indictment for purely political reasons. I.E. the standards for indictment must be set very high with regards to the evidence as determined by a Grand Jury. The silly DOJ memos in this regard, favored by one particular alcoholic J.O.T.S.C., may be ignored by all departments in government and all courts and prosecutors other than those directly under the DOJ. These stupid memos have no standing outside DOJ, and even the DOJ should look at them askance.

You were 100% wrong according to Mueller.
