The "sitting president" indictment issue is flawed [View all]

So an obviously criminal president is the subject of an ethical investigation.

The criminal president has the advantage of learning of all charges and evidence against him and has the advantage of the passage of time so that the issue and even investigators may die—literally or figuratively.

The criminal then has the option to (a) get re-elected to delay or avoid prosecution and (b) completely obstruct future justice and change the investigatory process—including laws so they are in his favor—and to screen out unfavorable prosecutors as well as to funnel money to the election of more favorable political allies.

This notion must be challenged. It tips the scales of justice.
