Trump’s Former Impeachment Lawyer David Schoen Flips the Script: Uses Democrats’ Own Argument to Prove Obama Can Still Be Impeached, Stripped of Immunity, and Indicted for His Crimes

President Trump’s former impeachment attorney David Schoen dropped a legal nuke on the legacy of Barack Obama — declaring that the 44th President of the United States can still be impeached, and if so, could lose his post-presidential immunity and face indictment for criminal conduct tied to the Russia Collusion hoax.

This explosive revelation came just days after President Trump remarked that Obama owed him “big” for the recent Supreme Court decision affirming presidential immunity for official acts committed while in office.

But Schoen isn’t letting Obama off the hook.

Let’s not forget — during their second failed impeachment attempt against Trump, Democrats moved the goalposts, claiming impeachment could apply even after a president leaves office.

They did this in a desperate bid to disqualify Trump from running again — a tactic that could now come back to haunt their golden boy, Barack Obama.

“President Trump is right when he said the immunity decision would help President Obama,” Schoen said on Newsmax. “But you know what it doesn’t help him with? Impeachment.”

Schoen pointed directly to Article I, Section 3, Clause 7 of the Constitution — the very clause that Democrats used during their second sham impeachment of President Trump to argue that a former president could still be tried and barred from holding office again. In doing so, they opened the door for the same standard to apply to Obama.

“According to the Democratic Party and the House managers in the second impeachment trial, a former President, once out of office, is still subject to impeachment,” Schoen explained.

“In other words, they’ve argued Lincoln could be impeached, George Washington impeached. Certainly, as I predicted at the time, this would come back — they would rue the day — because President Obama could be impeached if this evidence really says what it says. And that could also strip off the immunity, because under Article I, Section 3, Clause 7 of the Constitution, the Democrats argued it bars one from holding further office. The language itself says you’re still subject to criminal prosecution or indictment. We’ll see how that plays out.”

Constitutional watchdog and founder of the Article III Project Mike Davis recently told Benny Johnson in a separate interview that Obama has zero legal protection from prosecution for any criminal conduct after leaving office.

Mike Davis explained that presidential immunity only protects actions taken while someone is actively serving as President.

Once they’re no longer in office, they lose that protection. So, if a former president is involved in a criminal cover-up after leaving office, they can be held legally accountable—immunity no longer applies.

This comes on the heels of newly declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, which allegedly show Barack Obama personally orchestrated the Russia Collusion Hoax.

But I don’t trust the dems. Every time they get rid of one, they find someone even worse to replace that person with.

One nice thing about this is that it’s doubtful that Bozo believes it could ever possibly happen. If it does he may be playing catch-up all of a sudden.

One can only hope! My hopes are modest: jail time for Comey, Hillary, Clapper, Brennan and Schiff.

“...but the Senate will never convict Obama.”

Never be too sure about that... Evidence, indictments, arrests and elections can make minds change like lightning. May not even need the Congress to do anything............

‘Impeachment’ merely means ‘accused’ just like an indictment.

The Congress can, through the impeachment process, remove any emoluments that a private person receives from the Federal Government, like their pensions or any privileges from their service................
