  2. A state could try to charge Trump. However, I suspect Trump’s primary lawyer, Bill Barr, would direct the DOJ to make a modified “supremacy clause” challenge, arguing that it would be unwieldy/unconstitutional to allow states to prosecute a sitting president.

  4. Jeopardy attaches the moment a jury is sworn in to hear the case, Robert. Double jeopardy does not apply to an impeachment trial.

  6. Not trying to be a fence-sitter, Lexi, but I like both teams. My pop (# 95) was a HS football coach (and All American college linebacker at Montclair State, NJ) & I played in HS & college as well. Football’s in my blood. I just look forward to an exciting, well-player game. You?

  7. Let me try again, my friend: any investigation into Trump’s crimes, including the OBVIOUS crimes he committed with Michael Cohen to which Cohen pleaded guilty, can be reopened and perused the day Barr is no longer Attorney General.

    It is a sad day for America to see Senator McConnell humiliate the Chief Justice of the United States into presiding over a vote which rejected our nation’s judicial norms, precedents and institutions which uphold the Constitution and the rule of law.

  13. It has to be done, Dan, to both hold today’s crooked politicians accountable and to deter tomorrow’s aspiring crooked politicians.

  14. Most crimes have a 5-year statute of limitations. But I’d argue that Mnuchin’s crime is ongoing as a result of his continued unlawful w/holding of Trump’s tax returns. After Trump loses in Nov. there will be plenty of time left for the to prosecute Mnuchin

  15. disclosed by John Bolton). Cipollone perpetrated a unimaginable fraud on the Senate and the American people and the Dems should not go quietly into that dark acquittal. Move for a mistrial and see what the Chief Justice says.

  16. the Senate rules may not contemplate/authorize a mistrial motion. I would argue the rules as adopted NEVER contemplated the president’s lawyers would have hidden from the Senate, the Chief Justice and the American people such egregious, disqualifying information (as recently

  17. Many have asked if the House managers can move for a mistrial. Here are my quick thoughts: I wish Schiff WOULD make a motion for a mistrial based on, among other things, the revelation of Cipollone’s grossly unethical conduct/conflicts of interest. I wouldn’t be deterred that...

  21. In a very real sense, McConnell’s “no witnesses” rule means we can’t impeach a criminal president. So, the president IS above the impeachment clause of the Constitution. And now, 3. The Supreme Court will decide if We The People will get to see ...
