its an interesting conundrum and I’m really not sure how the Supreme Court will view these subjects.

There is a basic core American belief that nobody is above the law. But Trump is now claiming that he
1) cannot be indicted by special counsel
2) cannot be convicted of obstruction of justice because that would be obtrrcting himself
3) He can pardon himself


Number one and three seem to have qualified legal scholars on both sides and number two seems like grasping at straws.

All three have been true since George Washington was Prez.

The fake newsboyz are just pushing more fake uproar.

I assumed this thread was going to be about the Clintons or the Rosenstein/Mueller crowd.

Has any other US president publically claimed to be above the law?

When Clinton was President the Republicans said he had too much power. Now that Trump is President, he is all powerful. Kind of weird.
