if you re going to indict cohen, how do you not indict the other party involved. one of the big questions is can a sitting president be indicted. and i think i m in the same camp with professior tribe in believing that sitting president can be indicted. there is no constitutional prohibition, there prohibition. there is a policy memo saying we don t think it is a good idea. but i m positive iltedtted a hypothetical. if a corrupt president were to bribe 34 senators such that even if he was impeached by the house he could never be convicted and removed by the senate because they couldn t reach the rec we si requisite two-thirds, and then the memo saying you can t indict a sitting president says tough luck america, nothing you can do about it. i think in this day and age when we re living with some of what we see coming out of this
administration, that policy memo has to be revisited. so whether the southern district will try to go there or will try to perhaps get the approval of barr the attorney general to indict a president and not unseal that indictment until after he leaves office is anybody s guess. i was going to it say, you how often do you how often do you seal or delay indictments? we do it a lot and we do it under what circumstances. where there is an ongoing gang investigation for example and we are asking the grand jury periodically to return sealed indictments. but we still have one or more bigger fish that we need to investigate before we re prepared to take the whole thing down. under those circumstances, it is not at all unusual to return to seal indictments and then unseal them and do a coordinated takedown. that could be going on here. let s talk about another
impeached in the house, the olc memo would say, tough luck america, he can t be indicted so we have to revisit the wisdom of what is nothing more than a policy memo. glenn, glaif us plenty to think about. you did, too. after the break, two leaders who crave the spotlight, state-run media and love their praise meet to discuss nukes. it s not a setup for a joke. it s a setup for tomorrow. we ll raise the curtain after the break. l raise the curtain a the break. i switched to miralax for my constipation. stimulant laxatives forcefully stimulate the nerves in your colon. miralax works with the water in your body to unblock your system naturally. and it doesn t cause bloating, cramping, gas, or sudden urgency. miralax. look for the pink cap.
get to that point between the time-out sides. i think the republicans are feeling the heat. like under the table, like donald trump slipping a long memo he wrote to pelosi, a policy memo? what s going on under the table? i don t think that counts. that was a publicity stunt. i mean, i think democrats are still hoping they can, i think, the vice president is probably the point of contact here for the democrats. and they re trying to get mcconnell to offer a bill that would just open the government until february 8th. that would allow the government workers to get their paychecks. that would allow president trump to have his grand evening of the state of the union. and then they could either get back in the sandbox or maybe some of the emotion will have been drained because these polls, the president does read polls. he knows he s louising. he s very frustrated. he just doesn t know a way out. when you say he read polls, do you mean he watches polls on tv or he reads polls?
outright break them in order to get elected, knowing i can then hold up the presidential shield against prosecution. so once the democrats take power in the house on january 3rd, i suspect we re going to hear about articles of impeachment pretty quickly. but even over and above that, i hope mueller applies for an exception to the department of justice policy that says you can t indict a sitting president. that s only a policy memo. it doesn t have the effect of law. as i said recently, we have the supreme court precedent. guess what? societal norms change. we progress and we say, we don t have to follow that any more and that s the same with the memo. and the idea of not sticking is norm eggs and proolicies is
