Congress should extend statute of limitations for sitting presidents, leading House Dem says
The Washington Times ^ | March 19, 2019 | Bailey Vogt

Rep. Eric Swalwell said Tuesday lawmakers are preparing legislation to extend the statute of limitations for sitting presidents, allowing charges to still be filed once their term ends.

The California Democrat told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” members of Congress have a bill “in the works” as the country prepares for the results of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged collusion between Russia and President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

“I don’t think any person should be above the law,” Mr. Swalwell said.

Eric Swalwell is a lying leftist Rat.

He fails to mention the members of the phony Russian collusion cabal are being exposed at this very minute, I wonder if he thinks the members of that cabal should be above the law.

Then Bill Clinton’s statute of limitations also needs to be revised - to reflect the stonewalling of the Deep State. While we’re at it, why not career Justice Department officials. Same logic applies, even moreso.

Yes, he’s quite the reasonable liberal.

‘We can go after Obama then.’

Er, no. The new statute starts from today. After all it isn’t about ensnaring Obama, is it?

Today would be a Good Day for the President to Order the AG to open a Criminal Investigation in to Congress for Hush Money Paid to Women. Heir Mueller has Set the Precedent with Cohen the Rat, I expect the FBI to RAID every Congress critter, their homes and their LAWYERS.

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3735767/posts

The FBI raided Cohen’s office and hotel suite on April 9, 2018, seeking evidence of bank fraud and hush money payments to two women, porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal, who claimed they had affairs with Trump. The investigators seized cell phones, emails and at least 12 audio recordings, according to federal prosecutors.

"Congress should extend statute of limitations for sitting presidents, leading House Dem says"
----------------------
Just a typical blonde here, but is it correct that at this time there is only ONE sitting President; President Donald J. Trump?
Anything gives in order to save their hide from the fury of WTP.
