Andrew McCarthy, a conservative scholar and former assistant U.S. attorney, revealed on Fox & Friends his belief that prosecutors will indict the president for campaign finance violations. (Mediaite)
“It’s clear that Trump is the target and that he’ll be indicted eventually,” McCarthy said. (RELATED: Trump Goes Scorched Earth on Mueller)
“That kind of stops me in my tracks,” Fox News host Ed Henry reacted.
McCarthy explained himself in an op-ed published last night:
“The major takeaway from the 40-page sentencing memorandum filed by federal prosecutors Friday for Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal attorney, is this: The president is very likely to be indicted on a charge of violating federal campaign finance laws,” McCarthy wrote.
While McCarthy pointed out that Justice Department guidance says a sitting president can’t be indicted, Trump could face charges when he leaves office. And while campaign finance violations are not typically considered the sorts of “high crimes and misdemeanors” that would raise the specter of impeachment, “the point for this day is that the Cohen case in New York City is not about Cohen. The president is in peril of being charged.”

before you indict the president, you have to indict Hussein for his criminal conduct, and also HUNTER Biden for SHAKING DOWN Ukraine and China. All so Biden has to respond for raping that woman with his two grotesque fingers!

More and more Latinos are realizing that Trump may not be perfect…but he’s a hell of a lot better than anybody the SOCIALIST Democrats have. Joe Biden has been in office Washington for nearly 50 years….he was there when our critical industries and middle class jobs were OUTSOURCED to communist China…in fact, his family PROFITED from it. Joe Biden is not the ‘solution’…Joe Biden is the PROBLEM….
