Well, those people thought wrong. The jovial and good-natured Jaworski, who enjoyed the sort of comfortable rapport with journalists that the straight-laced Cox was never quite able to establish, turned out to be Richard Nixon's worst nightmare as a legal adversary.

Once he had corralled public opinion to his side, Jaworski subpoenaed sixty-four recorded Oval Office conversations from Nixon's White House tapes. When Nixon objected to the motion and filed an appeal, Jaworski outflanked him by instead prevailing directly upon the U.S. Supreme Court to agree to take the case, citing critical and major constitutional grounds. There, on July 24, 1974, he won a unanimous 9-0 decision which compelled Nixon to turn the tapes over to Jaworski's office. 16 days later, the president resigned in discgrace.

And so, remembering that, I'm at least willing to give Acting Director Andrew McCabe a chance to surprise me like the late Leon Jaworski.

"We want this to come to its conclusion, we want it to come to its conclusion with integrity," said deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders, referring to the FBI's probe into Moscow's interference in last year's election. "And we think that we've actually, by removing Director Comey, taken steps to make that happen."

... those same voters finally wise up and take to heart a valuable lesson, which is that politics isn't a fckn game show like "Wheel of Fortune"?

It is, as if, Dr. Harold Bornstein has, without detection, attended law school and has recently (at least by March 8, 2017) joined the tax department of this firm.  

The letter will soon have even more gravitas when signed as rec'd by Lindsey Graham of the US Senate, giving, of course, senatorial seal of approval.

No Russia, no Russia, you are the Russian--since Trump's income is from the collective 500 entities that make up The Trump Organization (TTO).

  Of course, the income from the TTO could be from a Russian source, listed as an LLC incorporated in the Caymans.  And, there is no Russian money, except for the exceptions, such as sale of condos/rents, and that deal of selling the $4l million Florida place to a Russian for $95 million.

i say this is spiraling out of control and down the toilet.  even the spinless soulless craven criminally negligent repiblicans in congress simply cannot continue to ignore this.

just watching Clapper destroy the Trump BS about his statement "clearing" him.

this most recent tweet threatening Comey with possible "tapes" of their conversations is outrageous.  and not being a lawyer sure seems close to criminal.

Yman: "Whether a sitting POTUS can be criminally charged is an open issue[.]"

... formally named an unindicted co-conspirator by DOJ prosecutors in court proceedings during the Watergate scandal, which implies that he could've been indicted while in office but wasn't, I don't see why not.

Further, I would think that the cases of United States v. Nixon, argued before the U.S. Supreme Court by Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski in July of 1974, and the more recent Paula Jones v. Clinton argued before that same body 20 years later, pretty much established that the president is not above the rule of law.

That said, yours is a good question. Not being a lawyer, and my own opinion above notwithstanding, I'm not at all rock-ribbed certain that a sitting president can actually be criminally charged. Among the commentariat here at TL, Jeralyn and Peter are likely best qualified to address that particular issue themselves.

What if Obama Tweet threatened James Comey for leaking? What if the black man did that?

they have been tougher and more brutal than any broadcast source i am aware of.
