Even with Alarming Behavior, President Trump On Solid Ground Constitutionally, But Faces Impeachment Risk
Constitutional Law Professor Anders Walker tells why, Explains The Rationale Behind The DOJ Policy that a Sitting President Cannot Be Indited, The Limitation of Impeachment & Perils Democrats Face Heading Towards 2020
As The House conducts its impeachment inquiry, media, politicians and people across the country debate whether President Trump committed a crime or not and whether his recent actions merit impeachment, presumably with the goal of removing the President from Office.
Before the developments that led to Speaker Pelosi announcing the commencement of formal impeachment proceedings, The Manhattan District Attorney subpoenaed 7 years of Trump’s tax records and those of his business and family in early September as part of an investigation into whether Trump broke any New York laws when he made “hush money” payments to the porn star known as “Stormy Daniels”. This is currently in litigation.
Many who think that President Trump will avoid prosecution for criminal acts because of the Department of Justice policy that a sitting President cannot be charged, think that since the DOJ policy only applies to Federal prosecution of the President, state charges would get around this.
