375 former prosecutors believe Trump obstructed justice and should be charged as a felon

[Anonymous]

We are former federal prosecutors. We served under both Republican and Democratic administrations at different levels of the federal system: as line attorneys, supervisors, special prosecutors, United States Attorneys, and senior officials at the Department of Justice. The offices in which we served were small, medium, and large; urban, suburban, and rural; and located in all parts of our country.

Each of us believes that the conduct of President Trump described in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report would, in the case of any other person not covered by the Office of Legal Counsel policy against indicting a sitting President, result in multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice.

Reports also say more prosecutors plan to sign on - from both parties and also independents.

Yeah, it's up to over 400 prosecutors now.

Over 400 former prosecutors say Trump would be indicted if he weren't president

More than 400 former federal prosecutors have signed onto a statement asserting that if the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) did not prohibit a sitting president from being indicted, President Trump would be charged with obstruction of justice.

Why it matters: Special counsel Robert Mueller laid out extensive evidence of possible obstruction by Trump in volume 2 of his report, though he ultimately opted not to make a "traditional prosecutorial judgment" in part because of the OLC opinion. Attorney General Bill Barr's decision to clear Trump of obstruction has drawn the ire of many Democrats and former prosecutors who believe he is acting as the president's personal lawyer, rather than the country's top law enforcement official.


The statement is signed by more than 20 former U.S. attorneys and more than 100 career Justice Department officials who worked in every administration dating back to President Eisenhower. It cites a number of episodes Mueller detailed in his report as "acts that satisfy all of the elements for an obstruction charge" — meaning obstructive conduct and "corrupt intent." Specifically, the prosecutors point to:

"The President's efforts to fire Mueller and to falsify evidence about that effort;
The President's efforts to limit the scope of Mueller’s investigation to exclude his conduct; and
The President’s efforts to prevent witnesses from cooperating with investigators probing him and his campaign."

So when Trump is no longer President, he can be charged with obstruction for crimes he committed while President?

Statute of limitations will likely run out if he is elected in 2020.

All the more reason he's determined to "win" by whatever means in 2020.

It is grounds for impeachment, plain and simple.

The real question is, why do Barr and Giuliani disagree with 400+ former federal prosecutors?

Yeah no.

The Mueller report exonerated Trump and his campaign.

This means nothing. Very likely, there are just as many who disagree. You do know that there are thousands upon thousands of former federal prosecutors? I know of some who strongly disagree with these signees.

You should try to believe it instead of believing the lies you are told.

+1 And try looking up the definition of exonerate.

Why are people looking up exonerate?
Exonerate was our top lookup on March 24th, 2019, following the word’s appearance in a letter written by William Barr, US Attorney General, summarizing the findings of the report recently concluded by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

The Special Counsel states that “while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”
