Trump really, really, really needs to be reelected...or else.

Former special counsel Robert Mueller was asked Wednesday whether President Trump might escape criminal prosecution on possible obstruction of justice charges if he were reelected in 2020.
“I’m not certain I can see the possibility you suggest,” Mueller told Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., as his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee got underway.
Earlier in the day, Mueller told members of the House Judiciary Committee that his office had not recommended charging Trump with a crime based on a ruling by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel that states a sitting president cannot be indicted. Mueller also testified that Trump could be charged with obstruction of justice after he left office.
According to the U.S. criminal code, however, the statute of limitations on federal obstruction of justice crimes is five years, which would imply that if he is reelected and serves a second term, ending in 2025, Trump could not be prosecuted for acts covered in the Mueller report.
Do Americans like this technicality they usually h**e about Liberal judges blindly following the Constitution? Trump escapes justice by ree******n. But do we want to reelect a criminal avoiding his just desserts?
“The follow-up question that should be concerning is, what if a president serves beyond the statute of limitations?” Quigley asked.
“I don’t know the answer to that one,” Mueller replied.
“Would it not indicate that if the statute of limitations on federal crimes such as this are five years that a president who serves a second term is therefore, under the policy, above the law?” Quigley pressed.
“I’m not certain I would agree with the conclusion,” Mueller responded.
Many Democrats, including Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., have posited that Trump will face charges after leaving office.
“My takeaway is there’s a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him. That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time,” Schiff told CBS’s “Face the Nation” in December.
But that scenario is contingent on several factors, including whether Trump is defeated in 2020.

Trump will not be indicted in office or out. First, because he didn't do anything. If he was guilty of anything even remotely criminal, Congress would have impeached by now. This has all just been about character-assassination. I think Mueller pretty much proved today that "his" report was written by the Trump loathing Weisman -- who was going to smear the President one way or the other whether it could be proven or not. If Trump is defeated in 2020, the Dems won't have any need to even utter Trump's name again much less waste time indicting him for anything. They'll all be far too busy planning the destruction of America as it was once known. The only way Trump gets indicted now is if we discover he and Epstein were inseparable these past 20 years.

NEWFLASH! Yippy Ki Yay Yahoo is no place to go if you are looking for justice, t***h and the American way.
If Donald Trump is reelected, the statute of limitations will expire.
If Donald Trump loses the e******n in 2020, any attempt to indict him will be based on a pack of lies, basically the Mueller Report--which, BTW, Mueller did not write. There would be no reason whatsoever to indict him for something he did not do and the American people will see an attempt to indict as nothing more than pure vindictiveness. Which. BTW, is a trademark of liberal progressivism. H**eful, vindictive bastards the lot of them.

It is if none of you listened to the testimony that there was Russian interference and that they continue to interfere. Further Trump and some of his staff were aware of it.

So what? So was Obama. He even said only an i***t would believe the e******ns were in danger.
Then the worst candidate in history loses despite all her c***ting and FOREIGN INTERST MONEY she outspent Trump 2 to 1 on. HAHAHAHAHA!
Now the Dems are saying the Ruskies clued us all in that Klinton c***ted the Berne and that's why she lost. When getting finked on for c***ting causes you to lose, you need to lose. Period.
Two salient points:
1) Nowhere have I seen proof the Russians hacked the DNC (and everyone hacked the hag's server and her Blackberry...by design as you'll find out). In fact, my sources say the evidence points to upload to a thumb drive.
2) Our FVEY allies interfered faaar more than the Russians.

Blade, how can "a pack of lies" expire by the statute of limitations? First you say he is guilty and then not.

How can a person obstruct their own framing?
