They trace it back to Watergate, or, that is, to the Nixon Administration -- this policy of not indicting a sitting president. The policy was created to protect Richard Nixon and it has ended up shielding Donald Trump.
You cannot indict a sitting president? It is against policy to charge a sitting president? What?
I guess I'm lost as to why there isn't a big outcry for doing away with this policy. It isn't even federal law. Just department policy. We don't like too much governing by executive order, and yet we put up with this? We don't even raise an eyebrow.
Wrong is wrong. This policy has got to go. Presidents should be as answerable to the laws as are the average citizens. Laws that protect presidents make them as invulnerable as kings.
And, that isn't suppose to be the way it works in America.
