    The worst part is that they ALLOW Trump to keep moving the goalposts. First it was “the President is completely immune from prosecution”, then it was “anyone who’s been President is immune from prosecution for anything they do while in office”, now it’s “well they’re not completely immune, they just have to be impeached and convicted first”.

      And it’s not just crimes committed while in office, but all crimes ever committed if you’re ever president

        If it passes, Obama should just walk right up to Trump and smack him like a bitch.
