Nancy Pelosi doubts Justice Dept, view that a sitting President CANNOT be charged with a crime….

By

There is NOT actual LAW against a American President being charged with a crime….

The Department of Justice opinion is just that….And opinion….

Donald Trump & Co. just got a message from Pelosi who doesn’t WANT to move to impeach Trump, but will be under HUGE pressure to do so….

The feeling is that Robert Mueller will follow the Dept. of Justice policy nevertheless….

In an interview to air on NBC’s “Today,” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie asks Nancy Pelosi, who will become House speaker at around 1:30 pm Thursday: “Do you believe the special counsel should honor and observe the Department of Justice guidance that states a sitting president cannot be indicted?”

The big picture: Pelosi replied, according to an excerpt from NBC: “No, I mean I don’t think — I do not think that that is conclusive. No, I do not.” With that response, she becomes the highest ranking official to suggest President Trump could be indicted while in office.

Pelosi is ready to rumble, planning to maintain the unyielding posture she took with Trump in their Oval Office standoff before the shutdown.

  • She tells USA Today that Trump is now entering a “different world.”

House Democrats plan to be aggressive on both an investigations/oversight track and a legislative track, writes Chris Krueger of Cowen Washington Research Group:

  • “The Democratic majority is largely due to Democrats in Trump-won districts from 2016, so expect a lot of legislation with high approval ratings first in the queue: infrastructure, drug pricing, immigration reform (protections for DREAMers), shoring up the ObamaCare exchanges/protecting pre-existing conditions, gun control, voting rights.”
