Was he not pardon by Ford, yes he was convicted for covering up. To be pardon you must admit guilt for your crime.
AND if you take that pardon you cannot plead the 5th amendment going forward
You are required to give testimony and can't try to avoid that or you VOID the pardon and have to take the punishment...
No but then again nether was Nixon ,he was convicted for "covering up".
I could be wrong, but I don't think Nixon was ever convicted of any crime as far as Watergate was concerned. I know he was granted a pardon by his successor shortly after leaving office, but that was a pardon for any crimes he "might" have committed. Also, Nixon was not impeached for his possible involvement in Watergate either. He resigned from his post as President of the United States. However, more than likely he would have been impeached if the proceedings had been allowed to go forward had he not resigned.
A judge is going to have a high bar to grant a search warrant. There must have been very compelling evidence of wrong-doing.
Don't you think it's time we see who has what on who? It's already been proven that the FBI used fabricated information to obtain a FISA warrant. I wouldn't put anything past these guys to try and do it again. It's time for the American people to see the evidence laid out before them and let them judge for themselves.
How is he misleading people? It is not ok to seize attorney-client communications. The basis for the seizure cannot be for the sole purpose of investigating a crime that may or may not have happened.
That just puts a spotlight on what the basis for this is. The US DOJ just doesn't haphazardly issue a search warrant on an attorney much less the President's personal lawyer. And this was issued by a recently Trump appointed Attorney General. Now think about that, what prompted this??
People don't enter Sainthood by virtue of being appointed by the President.
There is a lot of camouflage in the swamp.
It may look like a twig when stepped on and turn out to be a snake.
But like I said, Trump said he hires only the best people. But Wray is now an incompetent Communist?
Michael Avenatti is on MSNBC and having some pity for Michael Cohen for being raided
He suggests Cohen was set up as target by Trump when he threw him under the bus in his comments on AirForce One
Trump just had a meltdown on national television moment ago. Hilarious! Ranted on and on about no collusion and an unfair investigation
This could be the beginning of the end for POTUS Trump. He seems enraged, he might fire Sessions and Rosenstein and replace him/them with a "yes man" who will fire Mueller.
...
Oh, good grief.
