“But it’s undemocratic that Trump can’t be indicted,” you might say. Trump is an elected official. Mueller was not elected. How would it be democratic for an unelected official to disrupt the ability of the highest elected official to govern?
The obstruction of justice paradox. The power to prosecute resides within the Presidency. How then could you obstruct your own investigation?
Imagine Hillary Clinton had been elected POTUS. A US Attorney in Iowa, looking to make a name for herself, decides to indict Clinton for various crimes. Would that be democratic?
If President Clinton had fired the US Attorney, would that be obstruction? Why? The power gives President Clinton that power.
The democratic remedy against Trump is impeachment. Democratic officials (Article I) have the power to remove a democratically-elected official (Article II). The system is functioning exactly as it should be.
P.S. Morrison v. Olson was wrongly decided and anyone who can't give you that case holding by heart is UNQUALIFIED to even begin to have this discussion about Trump and Mueller.https://www.cernovich.com/mueller-report-obstruction-collusion-trump/ …
How can what Trump did, which was essentially instruct people to "tell the truth" be considered obstruction. If he told them to lie, perhaps but not suborning truthfulness???
Great thread.

The president can drop bombs but can’t talk about wanting to end a witch hunt 
There’s that famous line in Frost/Nixon where he says “If the president does it, it’s not illegal”. We all know that’s a stretch, but it’s fundamentally true. The constitution gives the president the power to dissolve the entire FBI if he wants to.
To rephrase the statement: ' We have no confidence that the President clearly committed a crime therefore we cannot say that'
Similarly, the Queen of England can't be prosecuted for any crime bc the Crown cannot bring charges against itself. The US presidency is, by design, basically an elected monarchy. His powers are based on principles of the British monarchy in many ways.
