There is NO law against Robert Mueller & Co. indicting President Donald J. Trump for crimes committed….
The only thing that should could technically stop him would be the Department of Justice policy rule forbidding its attorney’s from doing so…
The popular feeling among the Washington politicians is that such an heavy lift should be done by charges brought up in the US House and a vote in the US Senate to remove a President from office….
So?
Even if a Federal Grand Jury was to pass up criminal charges against Donald Trump?
It would be doubtful that the Justice Department would proceed with those charges….
With-a Majority Republican US Senate?
We COULD have a situation where a US President has had summarily criminal charges handed up against him and he continues to remain in office and possibly run for a second term….
Such is the reverence lawmakers may end up using as an excuse to protect the “office of the Presidency’?
Latest Filings Suggest Mueller Has Trump on Collusion
“For nearly two years, since the U.S. intelligence community released its report on the Russian campaign to assist Donald Trump in the 2016 election, the American people have been seeking an answer as to whether the Trump campaign colluded with its Russian counterpart. In the endless speculation about the direction of the investigation, a common view was that maybe the investigation would never implicate President Trump or find any collusion,” the Daily Beast reports.
“But a flurry of recent activity this past week all points in the same direction: Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation will likely implicate the president, his campaign, and his close associates in aiding and abetting a Russian conspiracy against the United States to undermine the 2016 election.”

Nobody Can Save Trump Now
Paul Waldman: “One of the remarkable things about the discussion we’ve been having lately is that the president still seems to think that he can be saved from whatever this investigation uncovers. He just announced that William Barr will be his next attorney general, and the New York Times reported that in private, ‘Mr. Trump has also repeatedly asked whether the next pick would recuse himself from overseeing the special counsel investigation into whether his campaign conspired with Russia in its interference in the 2016 election.’ It’s as though he thinks this investigation is in its early stages and can be quashed by a properly loyal underling.”
“But at this point it doesn’t matter. It’s far too late. Trump’s former aides have cooperated, they’ve conducted their interviews with the special counsel, they’re being sentenced, the documents have been reviewed, the connections have been traced, and the full picture is soon to be revealed.”
“This scandal can’t be hidden away. Republicans in Congress can’t save Trump, his attorney general can’t save him, and no amount of desperate tweets can save him. Accountability is on its way, and it’s arriving very soon.”

Interesting Update on Mueller’s trove of evidence….
Law & Crime: “One of the Russian companies indicted by Robert Mueller over its alleged involvement in an infamous trolling operation during the 2016 presidential election filed a motion on Thursday chock full of jabs at the special counsel’s legal knowledge and respect for the rule of law.”
“And in the process, they casually note that Mueller has apparently collected a ‘nude selfie’ of someone.”…
