MORE OOPS!

So what is this rule? The clear statement rule holds, not that it is impossible to indict a sitting president, as it is often portrayed, but that constitutional separation-of-powers principles demand that for a president to have exposure to criminal liability, the statute he is accused of violating must explicitly apply itself the president. Otherwise, it can be used against him only if doing so wouldn’t interfere with his exercise the powers granted him under Article II of the Constitution. The obstruction statute is silent in this respect, but Mueller, according to Goldstein, misapplied the rule, resulting in his “odd” analysis.


Yes, Mueller’s Waffling On Obstruction Was An End-Run Around Barr (and the Honorable Mr Barr cannot be happy with the dishonor of Mueller)
