There will be no Don McGhan's in a second Trump term.

[berg80]

He'll get another chance next January... let's hope he has better luck.

While I appreciate your honesty you've just unwittingly admitted to being an enemy of the republic and the rule of law.............such as it was before yesterday.

 

[berg80]

Even if an act is deemed not to be "official" the Court has hamstrung the prosecution by severely limiting the evidence it can present. Motive......off the table, communications directing the commission of a crime.........off the table.

Lol, the tooth gnashing decibels are off the charts.

Yep, Trump will be amazed at the many replies to him for his silly requests: "No, Mr President, you doofus."

 

[Rawley]

The wheels have come off the republic and you folks are cheering because you see the beneficiary of the ruling, a convicted felon, as being on your team.

I relish in your anguish. Long overdue for your cult.

WASHINGTON — President Trump told the White House counsel in the spring that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute two of his political adversaries: his 2016 challenger, Hillary Clinton, and the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with the conversation.

Your thoughts?

Lol, orange man campaigned on lock her up in 2016 and then complemented her at the correspondence dinner after he was elected. I think that pendulum coming back at ya might be a little different this time.

Here's the thing. If re-elected, when Trump tells a staff member to commit a crime he'll say, "don't worry, if you get caught I'll pardon you." Just like he did with the head of the border patrol.

Trump told CBP head he’d pardon him if he were sent to jail for violating immigration law​

Did the correspondents dinner happen before or after he illegally told McGhan to have her prosecuted?

It was after he was elected. Orange man thought they would all play nice with him. Boy was he wrong. They projected their own crimes onto him instantly.

I understand that you do. Hatred is a feature of your sect.

Your post is horseshit.

The essential utility of Trump's falsehoods.

I was going to write a post making a comparison between what we can expect from another Biden admin or Trump admin. Because it is top of mind for the country I was going to make the point an advantage to another Biden admin is we do not have to concern ourselves with him using the DoJ to go...

Backatcha. The level of hate you project here every day, day after day is not healthy.

 

[Hellokitty]

No apologies needed. The left made its bed when they projected their own criminal activities on to trump and then impeached him and then drew up bogus charges from leftist hack prosecutors. Nope, they deserve everything they have coming their way. I have no sympathy. They should have thought about the repercussions of their illegal acts but they just couldn't stop themselves.

Right TRUMP will appoint an AG who doesn't need to be told who to go after.

Not necessary. There could be a taped conversation of Trump giving his AG an enemies list of people to go after and the Court's majority says it's fine. Not to mention the tape is inadmissible evidence.

Trump Wanted to Order Justice Dept. to Prosecute Comey and Clinton​

WASHINGTON — President Trump told the White House counsel in the spring that he wanted to order the Justice Department to prosecute two of his political adversaries: his 2016 challenger, Hillary Clinton, and the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with the conversation.

The lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of power. To underscore his point, Mr. McGahn had White House lawyers write a memo for Mr. Trump warning that if he asked law enforcement to investigate his rivals, he could face a range of consequences, including possible impeachment.

The encounter was one of the most blatant examples yet of how Mr. Trump views the typically independent Justice Department as a tool to be wielded against his political enemies. It took on additional significance in recent weeks when Mr. McGahn left the White House and Mr. Trump appointed a relatively inexperienced political loyalist, Matthew G. Whitaker, as the acting attorney general.

Not that it would matter in the wake of the majority's decision yesterday. McGhan's quaint notion the prez has no authority to order the prosecution of his enemies is a thing of the past. (For those members of The Following who claim Biden has done that, eff you and read this........https://www.usmessageboard.com/threads/the-essential-utility-of-trumps-falsehoods.1110659/)

The new world order ushered in by the SC majority would also preclude the prez being prosecuted for obstruction of justice.

I. Order to McGahn to deny Trump’s order to fire Mueller

Obstructive act (p. 118): This effort “would qualify as an obstructive act if it had the natural tendency to constrain McGahn from testifying truthfully or to undermine his credibility as a potential witness[.]” There is “some evidence” that Trump genuinely believed press reports that he had ordered McGahn to fire Mueller were wrong. However, “[o]ther evidence cuts against that understanding of the president’s conduct”—and the special counsel lists a great deal more evidence on this latter point.

Nexus (p. 119): At this point “the Special Counsel’s use of a grand jury had been further confirmed by the return of several indictments.” Mueller’s office had indicated to Trump’s lawyers that it was investigating obstruction, and Trump knew that McGahn had already been interviewed by Mueller on the topic. “That evidence indicates the President’s awareness” that his efforts to fire Mueller were relevant to official proceedings. Trump “likely contemplated the ongoing investigation and any proceedings arising from it” in directing McGahn to create a false record of the earlier interaction.

Intent (p. 120): “Substantial evidence indicates that … the President acted for the purpose of influencing McGahn’s account in order to deflect or prevent further scrutiny” of Trump.

Obstruction of Justice in the Mueller Report: A Heat Map

The Mueller report describes numerous instances in which President Trump may have obstructed justice. A few days ago, I threw together a quick spreadsheet on Twitter

The country was fortunate McGhan was around to put a check on Don's abuses of power. Guys like him won't be around in Trump redux. The majority's opinion making that a moot point. Putting the criminal known as Individual 1 in the Oval Office with the knowledge he is above the law is the culmination of the decades long conservative project, a dream come true for Trump, and a nightmare for the country.

Let us know as soon as Seal Team 6 arrives at your front door.

 

[berg80]

It used to be the case that while philosophical differences on the Court were assumed, we the people could rely on the idea that the justices shared our values with respect to the republic. Not any longer. They share Trump's values. Power above all things and the imposition of minority views on the majority by the abuse of that power.
