During the campaign, Trump famously stated, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone, and not lose any voters." The issue arose again whie Trump was President, in the context of his tax records before the 2nd Circuit Court when Judge Chin asked, "What's your view on the Fifth Avenue example?"

At page 36, the majority gives footnote 198 as follows:

198 In the alternative, one might say that “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” occur when the president violates state criminal law. But that turns federalism upside down: invoking state criminal codes to supply the content of the federal Impeachment Clause would grant states a bizarre and incongruous primacy in the constitutional system. Especially given that impeachment is crucial to checks and balances within the federal government, it would be nonsensical for states to effectively control when this power may be wielded by Congress.

I guess Trump's somewhat jesting remark was correct. We know that a sitting president can't be indicted. If one believes this footnote, neither can he be impeached for violating a state criminal law. It would appear that if Trump ran into Shifty Schiff in Virginia or Maryland, or maybe Sloppy Jerry on Fifth Avenue in NYC, and shot him in the head, causing anal failure and death, he could neither be indicted nor impeached. Who knew?

Oh, well that must be why impeachment is a political process - not a criminal prosecution.

Criminal prosecution can come later, though.

Do you think Firtash will get Epstiened before he gets extradited?

Maybe Drumpf is now wishing he'd tested his theory by shooting Lev and Rudy in the head.
