    Again I want to reiterate that there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution or in any case law in our history that says a president can’t be indicted. It is merely memos done by partisan justice departments trying to protect their boss.

    For those who think the pressure is high in the White House, I offer the following serious point. It is all self inflicted. If the Democrats win either body of Congress & we have a normally functioning set of checks & balances, like we did with Obama, they ain’t seen nothing.
