Hillary Clinton could still become president if Russia probe finds conspiracy evidence
Newsweek ^ | 1.18 | MAYA RAJAMANI

Posted on 01/18/2018 8:54:46 AM PST by ItsOnlyDaryl

Nearly a year after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, a Harvard University professor says 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton could still become commander in chief.

Lawrence Lessig, the Roy L. Furman professor of law and leadership at Harvard Law School, penned an essay for Medium in October outlining a series of hypothetical scenarios that could take place should the ongoing probe find that the Trump campaign actually conspired with Russia to influence the results of the election.

If Trump did conspire with Russia, the president “should resign, or, if he doesn’t, he should be impeached,” Lessig wrote in his essay. Vice President Mike Pence would also have to either resign or get impeached, which would make House Speaker Paul Ryan the president of the United States, Lessig wrote at the time.

An attack on Trump is an attack on all of us.

MAYA RAJAMANI,

That’s not how it works here in the USA. You need a new job, that doesn’t require much thinking, much less writing your thoughts down.

At this point, the Left is doing nothing but embarrassing itself.

[[To be honest, most media people actually believe this.]]

absolutely they do- they think that they can have her instated as president by claiming the election should have ‘rightfully gone to her’- and that it was ‘stolen’ from her, and that it shouldn’t go to pence because a ‘republican should not have won in the first place’

They are very serious about stealing this election from republicans- they are relentless, and will never stop this nonsense

$1.00 was too much.

The best and highest use of that publication is fuel for the wood-stove.

Professor at Harvard?

"For it occurred to me that I should find much more truth in the reasonings of each individual with reference to the affairs in which he is personally interested, and the issue of which must presently punish him if he has judged amiss, than in those conducted by a man of letters in his study, regarding speculative matters that are of no practical moment, and followed by no consequences to himself, farther, perhaps, than that they foster his vanity the better the more remote they are from common sense; requiring, as they must in this case, the exercise of greater ingenuity and art to render them probable."

--Rene Descartes

The only thing that could possibly come out of the Russia probe would be matching orange jump suits for Hillary and Huma.

Mental masturbation on the part of a professor with too much time on his hands.

Why waste time publishing and reading such drivel?

Obama wasn’t a Professor, he was a guest Lecturer who taught the empty headed Numbskulls listening to him that the Constitution should include a list Negative Rights so the Peons know what the Government can do for (to) them.
