Schiff: Trump should probably be indicted when he leaves office

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that President Trump should probably be indicted once he leaves the White House for his alleged role in campaign finance law violations and bank fraud.

Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty last year to multiple crimes he says he carried out at Trump's behest, though most legal experts agree that a sitting president cannot be indicted.

"It's very difficult to make the argument that the person who was directed and was coordinated should go to jail but the person who did the directing and did the coordinating should not," Schiff told reporters at a breakfast organized by the Christian Science Monitor.

Schiff added that the current evidence "militates very strongly in favor of indicting the president when he is out of office.”

1. so by that time, he will have lied perhaps 20,000 times

and done incalculable damage our four year sentence of his unimaginable presidency.

I understand all of the rationale (I guess), but it makes no practical sense.

2. Makes no sense at all. He should be indicted now damn it.

Fuck this "a sitting POTUS" cannot be indicted! Not constitutional.

3. Might as well have a monarchy. Divine right rules?

5. So... we all get to vote on his 'impeachment'

or at least his ouster by ballot. Maybe more evidence
will appear before then... but I welcome the inauguration day frog march.
