No president above the law bill

[Riders]

Does one have to be guilty to defend oneself? Hmm, logic there is strange on that.

I'd argue that you never have to justify defending yourself, it's your intrinsic right as an individual. But, hey, what do I know? Anyway, Trump doesn't have to make excuses for protecting himself as far as I am concerned. I also find it strange that other people find it indicative of guilt or that it suggests some sort of obstruction. Neither of course are true, at least, if you possess a sound enough judgement to fairly weigh in on the situation. You're not guilty because you're strengthening your position relative to your enemies.

Well tehy're not laughing about it, y'all are saying there's nothing to it if that were trie there would be no reason to fight it.

Dems passed a bill where Presidents are not above the law/ There is also an article on Dems subpoenaing those who know about Trumps tax records, Trumps fighting back but they are determined ti get tax records.

Does anyone know who the No President is above the law bill will work?

England has a history of the Sovereign not being above the law.

"...the Magna Carta had established that nobody, not even the king, was above the law of the land, and this idea was essential to the development of the constitutional monarchy. ... They are part of the foundation of the English Common Law system..." Carolyn Harris: Magna Carta established that nobody, not even the king, was above the law of the land

Thanks for the info.

Well, it goes back and forth. When the Dems have the office, the Republicans usually go on the attack, and vice versa, of course. For some reason, they gave Reagan a pass, making him the Teflon President. Trump is kind of the opposite (he could be the Flypaper President).

But, on the other hand, Trump and his administration have weathered more scandalous revelations than any president in memory,certainly more than Reagan. Didn't four hundred former Federal prosecutors, from both parties, issue a statement just last Monday that, were Trump not a sitting president, he'd be charged with several felonies?
Sounds like a pretty slippery character to me.

Well, it's not over yet. I think the Democrats were more afraid of taking on Reagan directly, due to his popularity. The media were also pretty soft on Reagan. That doesn't appear to be the case with Trump.

Attempted Democrat Socialist takeover bill of something that is clearly not illegal in the first place.

Um, nothing is illegal before there is a law about it. You're still using "socialist" wrong.

Nah

Google agrees,

Just another word for treasonous commies.

If Trump gave them one inch, they'd take a mile. Think about the scenario for a minute. Pretend you're a politician and these people are the opposition... What would you do? Assisting or even allowing such investigations to take place, if you can avoid it, is damaging to your reputation. The nature of the legal system in the US is, of course, that it is so complex that no one can really follow it 100%. If Trump let them dig, they'd find something, and use it to crucify him -- though, certainly, whatever he would have been caught doing would be either something that is just mildly shady or just a lapse of judgement/honest mistake. It still wouldn't matter in the public eye. That's why Trump defends himself so vehemently -- and that's why you would too. It's not that you're a bad person, it's that people want to make you appear to be one, etc.

I go by the real definition. Not the made-up ones that the Democrat Socialists are trying to spin on people hoping they can't tell the difference.

Best exemplified by your media darling comrade AOC.
