Comey Indicted

[Deplorable Yankee]

Because I actually think the president should be subject to the law like the rest of us.

We aren’t the same. You like criminals.

He would be testifying in his official capacity for which he has core constitutional authority.

That means he can’t be prosecuted for anything related to exercising that capacity.

Perjury is not exercise of a constitutional authority. The notion is absurd.

With that logic could he commit murder while at a state affair with no criminal consequence?

Do you agree that law enforcement is a core constitutional duty of the president?

 

[OODA_Loop]

Do you agree that law enforcement is a core constitutional duty of the president?

Yes, but one can't commit criminal acts performing those duties.

 

[Marener]

Yes, but one can't commit criminal acts performing those duties.

Of course they can.

Think about it. If one can't commit criminal acts while performing constitutional duties, then it wouldn't make any sense for SCOTUS to give them immunity for performing those duties. Essentially you're saying that SCOTUS wrote this huge decision that is meaningless and that's just absurd.

If He had immunity from official acts, there would be no reason to commit perjury regarding those acts.

In the (somewhat possible) hypothetical situation I proposed, the reason to commit perjury is to prevent the court from dismissing the indictment against Comey.

Somewhat possible..... like getting hit by a meteorite while getting the mail?

Trump has nothing to do with the indictment process.

How do you know Trump has nothing to do with the indictment process?

You seem to have no problem with Trump having total immunity for anything pertaining to “official acts”. That means he can and has exchanged personal bribes for pardons. Demanded bribes from law firms and other extortion, with no risk of charges.

Comey did NOTHING illegal and Trump knows it.

This is revenge and no jury in the nation will convict Comey.

 

[Delldude]

How do you know Trump has nothing to do with the indictment process?

He's on record asking for DOJ/FBI to look into Comey and others for their actions. He had nothing to do with the Grand Jury decision to indicict.

Only problem with that is Comey has admitted leaking classified documents in public previously.

He ordered the DOJ to indict. We gave the email.

Well goody for you. The Grand Jury were the ones who, based on the evidence, indicted Comey.
Are you saying Trump was on the Grand Jury?

Sounds like you’re admitting that he does have involvement in the process.

No more than what I pointed out and has been reported in the media.

Do you think He was on the Grand Jury?

I think he told his hand picked prosecutor to take it to a grand jury, so he’s already more involved than any president known.

Most administrations are relatively hand picked.

He isn't the first to do it either.

Do some research.

Presidents don’t tell the DoJ who to prosecute.

This one does.

Like I said.....do some research.....

He's not the first.
