[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here, there is precedent for criminal prosecution and impeachment to both occur separately without one precluding the other

But aren’t Trump’s lawyers arguing that criminal prosecution is *not* possible for a president?  I thought they were saying that impeachment is the only resolution.  But impeachment doesn’t mean jail time, so how is that justice?[/quote]
Trump's lawyers are arguing that impeachment and conviction is a *prerequisite* for any possible jail time. Does that sound stupid? Of course it sounds stupid because it is stupid.[/quote]

Trump's lawyers are correct.  Otherwise, Obama would be sitting in jail for killing American citizens over seas.[/quote]
oh, so then why didn't R congress impeach Obama for it?

Why didn't Rs impeach Bush for an unjust war, lying about the wmd?

Why didn't Rs impeach Reagan for selling arms to Iran when there was an embargo?[/quote]
