Not a lawyer and dont play one on TV.
I am of the opinion that as a general concept, the court is correct. There is no constitutional grounds for asserting that a sitting President is exempt from a state grand jury subpoena. ON THAT NARROW question, there is no room for addressing if the grand jury is legal to investigate.
This is where I believe that the prosecution fails. There must be probable cause (some evidence) that the accused committed a crime. You can’t start an grand jury probe on suspicions or just because you “feel” that something is not right.
But since the proceedings are sealed and not available to the public, we do not know if that standard has been met.
“This is where I believe that the prosecution fails. There must be probable cause (some evidence) that the accused committed a crime. “
The Hussein Heads promised us for three years without evidence that Trump committed a crime, which is enough for half of American voters, all Big Media, and every Rat-appointed judge.
You’re probably right.
But the problem if left unchecked. You will quickly get witch hunt court filings in all 50 states alleging criinal activity and seeking discovery.
It can impact the effectiveness of the President.
So if there is not already a legal precedent to protect the president, they need to create one.
If they have strong evidence of criminal wrong doing, let them send it to Congress.
My concern would be about leaks. I would expect that his tax returns will be released in full the next day.
That is not fair by any interpretation of the law. So, with that in mind, his private tax returns must not be released.
