Like the headline of an article appearing yesterday in the NYTimes:

"A Constitutional Puzzle: Can the President Be Indicted?"

The headline suggests that Trump has already been found guilty of
something and now we are on to the Constitutional debate of his indictment.

Trump has *not* been found guilty of anything. In fact, nobody has
released any evidence that he has done anything even remotely illegal.

I agree with you Tim. The liberal press has had a vendetta against

"Indicted" does not mean found guilty or guilty.


Indicted means indicted. Not some random insinuation.

But CNN came through in a pinch. Even with a decent headline and story, they had to get in a
negative line when they could:

"Trump's recognition of Gold Star families came almost a year after he became embroiled in a running
argument with the family of Capt. Humayun Khan, who died in Iraq."

Almost a year old, but what the hey!

http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/29/politi...-memorial-day/

And, of course, the Washington Post wrote a very nice story, but they also had to throw in some
negativity:

"Trump has been feeling particularly aggrieved in recent weeks by federal and congressional
investigations into contacts between his associates and Russian government officials, including news
reports that Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and top White House adviser, proposed establishing secret
back-channel communications with Russia during the presidential transition."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...=.31599864a732
or: http://tinyurl.com/y7c5uo2f


Unreal.



"The President is merely the most important among a large number of
public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree
which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or
inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the
Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there
should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means
that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to
praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen
is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of
the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any
one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or
unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
- Theodore Roosevelt, The Kansas City Star May 7, 1918


"...blame him when he does wrong..."

OK, but why a year later (in CNN's case) when presenting a totally different news story? Anti-Trump
bias, pure and simple.

What did the Washington Post's comment have to do with his Memorial Day speech? Not a thing.
Anti-Trump bias, pure and simple.

Also, "...it is even more important to tell the truth...". It's for damn sure that isn't the case
with CNN or the Washington Post. Both lie and shade the truth worse than you do.

"Indicted" does not mean found guilty or guilty.


'Provided' does not mean 'performed'.

As Luddite said, the headline suggests guilt, your comment notwithstanding.

It's the dishonest attempt to create a mindset in people, a form of

won the election. Disgusting and immoral.

By the way, it is too bad and very telling that you and your fellow
right-wingers didn't bother to read the article you singled out.

"A Constitutional Puzzle: Can the President Be Indicted?"

The article had almost nothing to do with Trump and almost everything to
do with the Constitutional issues involved in prosecuting a sitting
POTUS for criminal infractions.

As for Trump as it was for Nixon...we need to know if the president is a
crook.

It's intellectually dishonest to comment on a news story you have not
read, and it is obvious you have not read the news story in question.

BTW, isn't it great that Trump has done something in five months that
the Russians have been trying to do since 1945? He's busted our
relationship with Germany.

Congratulations, Donald. Asshole.

"Indicted" usually means a prosecutor was able to browbeat or bull**** a
grand jury into doing what he or she wants. I was *fortunate* enough to
sit on a grand jury twice while I lived in Virginia in the 1970s, and I
was appalled by how prosecutors attempted (and usually succeeded) in
getting grand juries to indict on the sketchiest of evidence. I ensured
I wouldn't be called again by refusing to "true bill" a whole series of
defendants, thus incurring the wrath of the prosecutor.

Harry Krause and the liberal media have the same mindset. To Harry, that's OK, it's just 'honest,
full disclosure', and perhaps as they both agree Harry can see nothing wrong with the manner in
which the liberal media presents its 'news' - much of which is negative opinion presented as 'news'.

Perhaps you misspoke.
How exactly did you single handedly " " true bill"
a whole series
of defendants"?


Read up and get back to us. I never said, by the way, that I
"single-handedly" did anything during the grand jury proceedings.

Indeed I read the article associated with the NYTimes headline. I
realize it was basically a discussion on the legality of inditing a
sitting POTUS based on criminal charges and it seems the consensus of
legal scholars indicates that the POTUS is likely immune during his time
in office.

My point was the headline. That's what grabs many people's attention
because not all go on to read the article. I stand by my comment that
the NYT's and WashPost have been doing this sort of thing since the
election and before.
