[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very interesting twitter rumor running around that Trump could be named as an unindicted co-conspirator, a la Nixon. Process that for a moment. [/quote]

not a lawyer but...that means he can't pardon the other conspirators, right? [/quote]

It’s a bad idea. Terrible really.  Worse than firing Mueller.  Possibly obstruction of justice. But he probably could, technically.  Because he hasn’t been convicted. It’s weird territory. For sure.

The big deal here is that it would mean that Meuller has found evidence sufficient to indict Trump on something, but he can’t while Trump is in office, because a sitting POTUS cannot be indicted. It is the big red arrow pointing at Trump saying “this guy committed this specific crime with these people, so it’s time to impeach him”. Nixon resigned about six weeks after it became public that he was an unindicted co-conspirator. [/quote]
Do we know that Trump can't be indicted? The presidency is not a magic shield.[/quote]
 It's unclear. Jones v Clinton said that a sitting president could be sued, but that was civil, not criminal. [/quote]
