What if Trump really did shoot somebody on 5th Avenue?

[Tacomaman]

There has been a lot of discussion of late as to whether a sitting president can be indicted or not. All we currently have is DOJ guidance which says that a sitting president cannot be indicted. Given that this issue has never been challenged, we really don't know for sure.

That said, what if Trump actually went off the deep end one day and actually did shoot somebody on 5th Avenue (which he has boated that he could get away with in the past)? What would happen?

My believe is that he would be charged, tried, convicted and jailed. As such, this seems to strongly refute the DOJ guideline of not indicting a sitting president. Just my thoughts on the matter.

And I believe his base would still be faithful.

It would probably depend on who he shot.

Perhaps some NRA member would finally do his duty. They've lied long enough!

If state government indicted the President, his term would be over before the courts made all of their rulings.

 

[Bourbon]

With Trump's Aim, the only Danger would be his own Foot.

Well we know what a Journalist life is worth to Trump

So true. (Good Point)

Do you think Trump and his supporters would care if someone Murdered and Chopped up the body of Ivanka

Yeah, but she's not a Reporter.

 

[Bourbon]

Yeah, but she's not a Reporter.

She not a political adviser either ... but that's not stopping her.

Trump actually said he could shoot someone on 4th avenue and not lose and voters. Not that he could get away with it. He was shocked to see that his cons worked on a national scale.

 

[Underdog]

Well we know he'd never shoot a big tough guy like yourself.

Mueller would try to figure out how to tie it to the Russians.

That is easy, the Repubs and Trump are deeply tied to them. https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/...-proxies-helped-funnel-millions-gop-campaigns

Or if trump was an African-American, the left wouldn't mention the gun crime at all.
