REVEALED: Secret Clinton-era Ken Starr memo provides blueprint for indicting President Trump


A Pulitzer Prize New York Times journalist used the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to obtain a 56-page legal memo which concludes a sitting President can be indicted.

The Times reports that the legal memo, ?amounts to the most thorough government-commissioned analysis rejecting a generally held view that presidents are immune from prosecution while in office.?

?It is proper, constitutional, and legal for a federal grand jury to indict a sitting president for serious criminal acts that are not part of, and are contrary to, the president?s official duties,? the memo concludes. ?In this country, no one, even President Clinton, is above the law.?

While this memo is said to be the most thorough government analysis of the constitutional question, Ken Starr was not the first special counsel to reach such a conclusion.

?In 1974, the Watergate special counsel, Leon Jaworski, had also received a memo from his staff saying he could indict the president, in that instance Richard M. Nixon, while he was in office, and later made that case in a court brief,? The Times reported.

One hypothetic listed in the 1998 memo is what would happen if a sitting President punched a heckler.

?No one would suggest that the president should be removed from office simply because of that assault,? the memo suggests. ?Yet the president has no right to assault hecklers. If there is no recourse against the president, if he cannot be prosecuted for violating the criminal laws, he will be above the law.?

?Other prosecutors working for Mr. Starr developed a draft indictment of Mr. Clinton, which The Times has also requested be made public. The National Archives has not processed that file to determine whether it is exempt from disclosure under grand-jury secrecy rules,? The Times noted.

?It is proper, constitutional, and legal for a federal grand jury to indict a sitting president for serious criminal acts that are not part of, and are contrary to, the president?s official duties,? the Starr office memo concludes. ?In this country, no one, even President Clinton, is above the law.?

Did someone think otherwise?
There has to be enough evidence to return an indictment.

A President could be impeached alter a conviction of a crime in office as mentioned.

You are aware that detectives don't tell the public as they gather evidence right?

These Trumpers who say there's no evidence are idiots. The reason Mueller has expanded his team to over 30 specialized investigators AND prosecuters is because he has a lot of evidence. A special counsel doesn't hire specialized money laundering prosecuters, unless his investigators have evidence.

"Carr confirmed to The Washington Post that Brandon Van Grack, a Justice Department national security division prosecutor; Rush Atkinson, a trial attorney in the fraud section; and Andrew D. Goldstein, who had headed the public corruption unit in the U.S. Attorney?s Office in the Southern District of New York; and Zainab Ahmad, an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of New York specializing in terrorism cases, also had been assigned to work with the group.

Goldstein had worked in the office under U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who was fired by Trump after he refused to resign upon request and who has said publicly that he had unusual exchanges with the president.

Ahmad was recently profiled by the New Yorker for having prosecuted 13 terrorism cases without a single loss."

I see no reason why a sitting US President cannot be taken to court or sued. Seems to me Trump is already involved in a number of lawsuits. They don't just go away because he became President.
