Can A President Be Indicted?

No. A sitting president may not be indicted. That is why impeachment exists.

You wish, I say he can an should.

Let me explain this to you since you're dumb.

If Donald Trump walks out of his office and shoots his secretary in the head, he would be immediately impeached and then indicted. A sitting president may not be indicted.
 
Well his "crime" sure isn't one to take seriously as it seems its pretty common in political circles.

Hell Barry did the same thing and I don't remember anyone calling him a criminal. He paid a fine.

No Obama didn't do the same thing.

No he hid donors with the FEC takes seriously.

He paid a $375,000.00 dollar fine.

Was one of them a porn star?

Why does that matter?

That the blob is paying off a porn star to buy her silence right before an election? Or that he didn’t report it as a campaign expenditure?

Which scandal are you talking about?

Do you think if he were not running he would not have paid her off? Honest question.
 
Trumpers are saying no, based on a Nixon era policy...

But you might remember that Clinton was forced to testify in a CIVIL SUIT regarding an event that occurred years before he was elected.

That sets the bar considerably LOWER than what we are discussing here


Your example of a civil suit has NOTHING to do with an indictment. No a sitting President can not be indicted, that it standing Justice Department finding since at least the 1970s.

That's exactly why he paid her off. Nothing says he had an affair with her. Its he said. She said. But it was a smart move on his part. Pay her off so she doesn't land in his campaign.

Nothing illegal about it.

He would have done it regardless. $150k is chump change to him.

You wish, I say he can an should.

I’ll take the blob’s side (sort of) in this case. We should never forget that despite the lies, the ridiculous campaign promises that could never be fulfilled, the sleaze of “grabbing the pussy”, the making fun of handicapped people, the hate, the idiocy, etc… he won an electoral contest via enough voters in select states checking a box next to his name. How he got to that point and the legal path is being determined but more people in the necessary states selected him. Russia didn’t change a ballot but they did change a mind. Killing stories in the Enquirer and other media outlets via payoffs changed minds but didn’t change ballots.

We’ll see where all of this goes but two things remain true.

He won.
And he’s a disgusting pervert who has zero business being in the Oval Office.

The legality of the former is being investigation
The truth the latter is not in question.

Of course.

Unlike Congress, he did not have taxpayer dollars earmarked to pay off such accusers.

Let me explain this to you since you're dumb.

If Donald Trump walks out of his office and shoots his secretary in the head, he would be immediately impeached and then indicted. A sitting president may not be indicted.

Theoretically Trump could walk into the Senate chamber , shoot Chuck Schumer in the face and pardon himself, be impeached and never be indicted for that murder.

That's the damn law, I don't know why people don't understand that.

You could have stopped at "do you think?" and Candy's answer should have been no.

If he is impeached he can be indicted as he would no longer be a sitting POTUS.

Not if he pardoned himself before being impeached. Shooting Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor would be a FEDERAL crime, no state or locale could have jurisdiction and thus could not bring charges.

DC law, not federal law, would take precedence in such a case. He could not pardon himself.

Yes. Sleaze isn’t a suit he puts on in the morning and takes off in the evening. If you’re dirty, you’re always dirty. He’s always been sleazy. Numerous examples abound.

LOL I don't know. Ask Barry.

So you don’t know what you’re talking about. Nothing new there. LOL

You asked. There might have been a porn star among his donors. You never know.

Dream on...…...
 
it is not illegal to protect ones privacy. Paying to do same is also not illegal. If no campaign funds were used, no crime was committed. The right to privacy will "trump" any statute regarding election influence, probably on SCOTUS appeal, if campaign funds were used.

Bottom line - Trump walks, regardless

JFK was before I was born. WJC? He had a ton of extramarital affairs.
