Why is it too much to ask that the President of the United States not be above the law?
It's not too much to ask at all. And if he's indeed broken the law, there's proof of it, Mueller should throw the book at him and recommend Congress votes him out on his ass.
But fair-minded people realize we don't know if it's risen to that bar yet. Could be, could not too. Pre-empting it and assuming doesn't do you any favors as far as your own well-being: this comes back any less than what you're expecting, you're going to feel pretty devastated. Just chill, wait and see how it pans out.
I already know Mueller could put an obstruction charge on him.
Except you don't. Mueller has the evidence, we don't. We know when Mueller speaks. He hasn't spoken yet.
Therefore...yeah.
He literally obstructs justice every day via Twitter.
Good luck proving that on a legal level.
You said a few posts ago "Trump will be President in a year or 18 months" as if you're certain.
I'm not "certain" at all. I'm not even particularly confident he will be (but then,
if he's out it's because he's proven to have committed crimes and I'll be all
for him being taken out of office). That being said, whichever way this goes people will have to accept. The Trumpies if he's impeached, and the Never Trumpers if he's found unethical-yet-not-criminal.
For the ****ing country's sake, we have to make some peace with this no matter the result. Demanding nothing less than his political head on a platter is not just unwise, but potentially socially dangerous if it goes the other way and he stays.
My question is how do you know with such certainty
Again, no certainty at all. Just tethered to reality, in the sense that we don't know what the **** Mueller has and doesn't have, what among that evidence is criminal, which he's going to pursue as charges, and which action will be taken on the presidency even if he is guilty.
Cart. Horse.
This is way early.
