    What does it even mean to tell someone you can't charge that you don't intend to charge him?

        Saw that! (And yes, this does count as a big scoop, congrats!) So mostly ... nothing. But no one would believe John Dowd when he pointed that out so he left 2 weeks later?

        Nothing. What's missing from that statement is "as of today". Obstruction is also an impeachable offense - for a sitting POTUS - not a criminal charge.

        It means you are hoping to get him to testify in the delusional belief that it can't hurt him.

        Ignorant question: why can't he be charged? Is this like Congressional immunity?

        Yes... that's impeachment, though, not criminal law.

        Yeah, saw that. But - as a non-lawyer - I take that as merely saying it wouldn't be double jeopardy for the Party to be prosecuted afterwards. I'm wondering whether prosecution *before* impeachment is prohibited by more than common wisdom: a specific statute or legal theory.

        Yes, there are differing opinions regarding that, none of which have been tested legally.

        You're the boss in this, as ever, but is it truly inconceivable? For instance, if he really killed that guy in Fifth Avenue, he'd be charged, right?
