We have to face the fact that no judge or prosecutor will go down in history for putting a former president or Hillary in jail.

During the Watergate process, President Nixon was named as an unindicted co-conspirator. That linked him to the conspiracy but avoided the problems of trying a former president. It also effectively denied him the opportunity to defend himself.

I’m just at a complete loss to understand the legal jeopardy for Obama in this,

Possibly they went beyond what the FISA warrant auhorized, or involvement in illegal leaks of the information obtained.

Bingo- I’ll happily be wrong on this- but I think you are right-

I believe 0 went way beyond the narrow OK that did get granted; in the tweet, President Trump said that his (Trump’s) phones were bugged.

Would not surprise me at all if old Jug Ears, in a fit of hubris tempered with stupidity, ordered the wire taps against more seasoned DemocRAT advice. I think he shares a brain cell with Pelosi.

Won’t come to that point. And that’s the pipe dream.

"Come on! Minor says, right in the text, "As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case, it is not necessary to solve these doubts." So. 1) There ARE doubts. 2) Minor does not resolve them. That's all I said."

Read more carefully.

At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

And then:

"Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case, it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens. "

As you can see, the Court NEVER had any doubts about the class of natural born Citizens.

Whether persons born in the US to non-citizen parents were “citizens” was not a question before the Minor Court because Mrs. Minor was natural-born, whereas Wong Kim Ark was not. The determination of his citizenship required the 14th Amendment, whereas Mrs. Minor’s did not. It was held that Mrs. Minor was a US citizen – as the syllabus states in point 2 – because she was born in the US to parents who were citizens. This was the independent ground that springs forth precedent. (See Ogilvie Et Al., Minors v. United States, 519 U.S. 79 at 84 (1996)).

Bad analogy. Trump is Cortes.

And RINOs know already they have nowhere else to go.

The establishment republicans (ER’s) have been brain washed from decades of democrat dominance in congress and decades of left-wing media attacks. These ER’s will do everything to curry favor with the media by attacking other republicans. Prime example: Maverick McCain. But attacking democrats is a no-no because then the media will not love them. Anyone recall McCain attacking any prominent democrat?

Donald Trump again shows he is heaven sent. Will be enjoyable to sit back and watch how this unravels.

It made them think for a week that the Russia thing was the Russia thing.

Obama spokesperson denies Trump's claim of wire-tapping, calls accusation 'false'

As if anyone is surprised. Trump should Tweet "See you in court!"

Your analysis was a pleasure to read. Thanks for taking the time to lay it all out so clearly; I couldn’t argue with a single word.

Well, let me say I know something of Trump’s temperament. He doesn’t look backwards, i.e., punishing people. To him, victory is punishment enough.

If Trump is Cortes, then I want to see some earth-scorching. So far, it's the Left that is burning down things to get their way.

You suggested that Trump should trade the scorched earth for a cease-fire so he can get his agenda passed. I wouldn't trust Obama and the Democrats to keep that promise.

I don’t consider getting everything you want “cease fire.” I consider it total capitulation and surrender.
