Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) made that argument yesterday on NBC’s Meet the Press, telling Chuck Todd that the Senate Judiciary Committee has nearly completed its review of the matter. Feinstein argued that Trump’s action in firing Comey for his refusal to “lift the cloud” by stating publicly that Trump was not a target of the FBI investigation amounts to obstruction of justice. Nonsense, constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz told Fox News this morning. Presidents cannot obstruct justice by exercising legitimate authority under Article II of the US Constitution, Dershowitz argues, and that includes the authority to direct the Department of Justice and the FBI, as well as replacing its political appointees (via Townhall’s Leah Barkoukis): Click HERE to read the remainder of the article.

To: Gatlin (#0) Fine, but it's also true that Congress could impeach a president for eating a ham sandwich. Impeachment is as much a constitutional perogative of Congress as is firing an FBI director is for a president.

To: Pinguinite (#1) Fine, but it's also true that Congress could impeach a president for eating a ham sandwich. They can, but removing a President is tough. And if you don't succeed in removing him, he can use the full power of his office to investigate, disclose and destroy those who seek to destroy him. So, if they really want to impeach, let them. Recall what happened to all of the leaders of the effort to impeach Clinton. Most of the Republican leadership had their own sexual affairs exposed and were driven from office or disgraced.

My point was it all comes down to politics, not law, for both president & congress. The technicalities about whether Trump did or did not actually break the law with obstruction are not important. And an R congress would have no chance in hell of actually impeaching or convicting Trump, even if they wanted to, as public backlash would nail them to the wall on it. Even if Dems won every Senate seat up for reelection next year, they still couldn't get a conviction, I'd wager. The people who put Trump in office are still there and still smell the swamp. It's all politics, politics, politics. Pinguinite  posted on  2017-12-05   11:21:51 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #4. To: Pinguinite (#3) I agree with your assessment.
