I heard Mark Levin say that the Constitution prevents Trump from being dragged before the grand jury while he is president. I don’t know enough about constitutional Law to agree or dispute this. I do know that Reid knows nothing about this worth knowing.

Just out of curiosity, I looked into this awhile back. A misbehaving president can be impeached. But the Constitution is silent about whether or not a sitting president can be arrested.

The prevailing view among many (most?) constitutional scholars is that a sitting president cannot be arrested. That’s because the arrest would interfere with the president constitutional duties, and would subvert the will of the voters.

Trust Mark.

Had George Washington been a lesser man, we would have kings.

Trump has the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Secret Service, Federal Marshals, (nominally) the FBI and the CIA.

Despite Obama's corruption of the Executive Branch, Trump rules.
