What Mueller should do?

[kentuck]

This is just my opinion.

But I think he should indict Trump for his part in the campaign finance violation, for which Cohen has already been convicted. Cohen had the checks. One of them was signed by Don Jr and Allen Weisselberg, the COO of the Trump Organization.

He doesn't have to wait until there are two crimes committed before he can indict. He can indict on one charge if the law permits. And the law does permit.

Everyone has known since Day One that Donald Trump was in violation of the Emolument clause of the Constitution.

There are also minor charges of tax fraud and bank fraud.

And the Congress cannot forget the possible charges of conspiracy against the United States Government, and do their part, to further impeach the President of the United States, should the Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, decide to indict Donald J Trump.

Just my opinion.

1. Agreed - go against DOJ policy and indict

45 on the campaign finance violation as a minimum; more charges if possible.

2. Ab-so-lute-ly!

3. The whole rationale of not indicting a sitting President is based on

an honest election, not a stolen one. Eff him and his horse.

5. I don't think there is any rationale not to indict a sitting President

Only two types of people in world history have been beyond the power of criminal courts - kings and dictators. Since the Constitution did not create either office, DOJ has no power to do so. Neither can Congress create a dictator by dereliction of duty.

7. The idea had its genesis with getting Agnew out of the line of succession.

Unfortunately that opinion was lauded by a lengthy DOJ opinion at the time of the Lewinsky affair. I agree with you, but the DOJ might not.

8. You are right, DOJ might not agree, but there are ways to bypass DOJ

and get the issue to a judge, where hopefully the rule of law will prevail.

4. Unfortunately, Mueller doesn't have the authority to

tar and feather him and ride him out of town on a rail.

6. The Tenth Amendment reserves that power to the people.
