Johnathan Turley stated Presidents can be charged with obstruction of justice. ~ Categorically Wrong ~ Natalie Keshing
“I do not agree that a President, as a categorical matter, could never be criminally charged with obstruction of justice…
It would mean that a massive immunity provision is part of the Constitution without a single express word or any record of such an intent in the Constitutional Convention…
President Trump would be far better off contesting the fact of the crime rather than the ability of anyone to prosecute him for it.” ~ Johnathan Turley
Allen Dershowitz, a Professor at Harvard, said, “Johnathan Turley is a bright lawyer, but categorically wrong. Both in his advice to President Trump and his interpretation of the Constitution.”
“The Justice Department has twice ruled in a long extension of a memo, that I have read this morning for the second or third time, stating clearly, that the President cannot not be indicted, prosecuted and tried while serving in office. The only mechanism the Constitution provides is he could be impeached and once impeached and removed from office then he can then be charged with a criminal trial.”
“But a sitting President, according to the Justice Department cannot be tried. And the President would be making a terrible mistake of getting into the weeds of arguing the facts rather than sticking with the conceptual Constitutional issue.”
“Mr. President do not accept Johnathan Turley’s advice when it comes to this issue he is not giving you good advice.” ~ Allen Dershowitz and Natalie Keshing
