Donald Trump: having been indicted by a grand jury for obstruction of justice once he leaves office

Pardon Me ...

Obviously, I am not a lawyer.  But I do have some legal thoughts about Rudy Giuliani's comment that President Trump could pardon himself if need be. My logic also involves the answer to another conumdrum -- whether a president can be indicted. I think this is clearly unconstitutional because the constitutional cure is impeachment for "high crimes, etc."

Let's assume that President Trump invites James Comey to the White House where he shoots him dead.  He cannot immediately be indicted for this crime. Constitutionaly he would first have to be impeached by the House and then convicted in the Senate to be removed from office (a process I am pretty certain that SCOTUS would not permit him to pardon himself from.) This should be a very quick event. Only then could he be indicted and brought to justice in our regular criminal system.

But here is the rub. Trump could not then pardon himself because he no longer would be president. And, I could be wrong, but I don't think that Trump could give himself a prospective pardon ... before the above die process was completed ... while he was still president.

Therefore, all this hot air about him pardoning himself is just that ...hot air.

Surprise!

Is anyone shocked that Special Counsel,  Robert Mueller, has caused his grand jury to issue an indictment or indictments in the Trump-Russia collusion probe? We should know on Monday who the indictee(s) are. Since the revelation that Hillary Clinton and the DNC had indeed colluded with Russia, through the Fusion GPS firm, to try to smear Trump prior to last year's election, the pressure is on Mueller to reverse this reversal. Although the liberal media has been trying to ignore Fusion GPS and the Uranium One scandal, these damaging revelations are beginning to change the narrative in the Deep State's slow motion coup.

So ... Mueller has been forced to pull the trigger on his investigation ... and, I predict, he better hit the target's bullseye. If this first indictment or indictments are not stunners, then it is likely that this special investigation might quickly become a laugher ...

Afterward: My prediction is Paul Manafort ... ,maybe when he was oorking for the Podesta Group ...
