Jens David Ohlin, law professor, Cornell University

Lisa Kern Griffin, law professor, Duke University
Andy Wright, law professor, Savannah Law School

Victoria Nourse, law professor, Georgetown University
Jed Shugerman, law professor, Fordham University
Jessica Levinson, law professor, Loyola Law School

All believe President Trump can be charged with obstruction of justice.
Trump’s lawyer: the president can’t obstruct justice. 13 legal experts: yes, he can.

Dershowitz didn't say Trump can't obstruct justice. What he said is that ‘You Cannot Charge a President With Obstruction for Exercising His Constitutional Power’

All your post shows is that you're an idiot who doesn't pay attention.

If he pardons someone to coverup a crime he's involved in then he can be impeached and charged.

Don't be stupid.

Dersh jump the shark a long time ago, he just likes going on Fox and getting paid.

I see you chose law professors and not legal experts. Legal experts work in the private sector and their living depends on their ability. Law professors work at universities 99.6% all dominated by activist leftist liberals paid for by the students and public no matter how off they are.

BINGO! You beat me to it.

Especially Law professors in liberal trump hating colleges.

He can be impeached for any reason at any time, so that argument is a non-starter. He can't be indicted by any prosecutor for obstrution of justice for exercising his pardon power. If that was the case, then why wasn't George H. W. Bush indicted for pardoning Walsh?

Huh? It’s his constitutional power. Post that link with that addendum

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Academic. What matters is there is no evidence that Trump has done so, nor is there likely to be.

Wishful thinking does not make it so.

Correction -- no evidence that has been made public.

Wishful thinking again.

Are you sure you read the article? Read the title again dunce.
Trump’s lawyer: the president can’t obstruct justice. 13 legal experts: yes, he can.

In short, the president is not above the law, and can indeed be guilty of obstructing justice.

he faces impeachment and removal for obstruction of justice. [Richard] Nixon resigned on the eve of a similar situation

A president who "corruptly" obstructs or impedes "the due and proper administration of the law" commits a crime.

he is liable for his criminal acts.

and so on.

Jeez, these right wingers. How do they last a day? Unless it was satire. Then Never mind.

The Corrupt Democratic Party is at war with our democracy

You could not think of anything to post, so you offered standard republic blather.

 

[DJT for Life]

Exactly.

You can't obstruct justice when you are doing your job.

He has the power to fire the head of the FBI and he did.
It is up to any who believe it was to obstruct justice, to prove
that.

Forget it.

The Donald is in charge and he is asserting his position.
Deal with it

“I have long believed that a President can fire an FBI director for any reason, or for no reason at all,"

James Comey

But can he ask him not to go after a guy?
Asking someone to do something and firing are not the same thing.

Pop quiz: who is the constitutional head of the executive branch of the federal government?

You can do it! (Or not? ).

The President.

Not an Emperor.

Go ahead. Look it up and see for yourself! (Or not?)

I already have.

He is in charge of the executive branch of the government. The
FBI is in the executive branch.

The President has the constitutional authority to fire him.

 

[Ted Frazier]

Wow they found 11 law professors who are willing to stretch legal hypothesis to the limit only during republican administrations.. What about the other 1.54 million professors in the U.S.?

Conservatives in USMB found one law professor (Dershowitz). Orgasms ensued.
But when 11 contradicted him, you whine.
Slick.

Law professors are legal experts, you dumb fuck. In a separate thread, a conservative had an orgasm because Alan Dershowitz (law professor) sides with Trump.

And you've demonstrated that you don't understand the argument.

Dershowitz rightly points out trump cannot obstruct justice exercising his constitutionally granted power.

Now if he acts outside that power, like Clinton did, encouraging perjury, fabricating court documents, etc e president can be found guilty of obstruction.

Yes they did.
WaPo: A bold new legal defense for Trump: Presidents cannot obstruct justice
Vox: Trump’s lawyer: the president can’t obstruct justice. 13 legal experts: yes, he can.
Tiny, do me a favor and get your dumb ass out of this thread. You think that typing a teeny tiny "They didn't contradict him" phrase followed by no argument whatsoever is going to prove Dershowitz right. But no, it doesn't work that way.

And by the way, several conservatives bashed the law professors as dumb and Hillary shills. Are you gonna scold your fellow Trump supporters who (in your view) were too dumb to realize that they "did not contradict" Dershowitz?
If I saw you I'd cocksmack you so hard that you would end up being smart.

I've not heard anyone say that the President can't obstruct justice what I have heard is that there is not evidence he has. Firing the FBI director is not obstruction.
