I voted to impeach Nixon: Here's the case to prosecute Trump
By Elizabeth Holtzman, opinion contributor — 12/13/20 01:00 PM EST

There is evidence Donald Trump may have committed federal crimes. As long as he's president, Trump has temporary protection from prosecution, but once he leaves office, should he be prosecuted? Or should he be left alone in the interest of healing the country’s partisan divide?   

President-elect Biden is right to say that his Justice Department will handle any investigation of Trump, or prosecution if it comes to that, in the normal course. That means the DOJ will conduct a professional assessment of the case, undertake any additional inquiries and determine if a rock-solid prosecution can be brought — and, if it can, bring it. For a country adhering to the rule of law, there really is no other choice.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller identified ten ways Trump might have obstructed justice in connection with the Russia collusion investigation. Mueller did not determine whether Trump should be indicted, but nearly 700 former U.S. prosecutors believed there was enough evidence for prosecution. Other possible criminal misconduct, such as Trump’s financial dealings and his efforts to upend the 2020 election, may also warrant examination.


Presidents are not entitled to immunity. The constitution explicitly states that a president can be tried and prosecuted for crimes committed in office. President Nixon and Trump himself were subjects of criminal investigations, and a grand jury named Nixon an unindicted co-conspirator.

You still didn't name a particular offense, lunatic.

They can prosecute Trump, sure. Right after they indict, prosecute and imprison or execute Obama for his demonstrable crime of treason.

Whatta friggen nut.

Not even the dems are this stupid.

So long as Hillary walks free after destroying thousands of items of evidence, any serious suggestion of prosecuting Trump for obstruction of justice should be met with 80 million voices warning that the establishment elites will lose their control of this country in short order.

BTW. I am convinced NIXON was innocent.  Set up by FBI/ CIA and Pelosi invoked his name, as she voted for this too. Same thing was done to POTUS TRUMP.  PHONY BALONEY IMPEACH.  Nixon just quit.  These demon-rats are pure evil.

I voted to impeach Nixon:

Nixon never had an impeachment vote.  I hate liars.

Nixon never had an impeachment vote.  I hate liars.

Actually, she did vote to Impeach Nixon, but only in the Judiciary Committee, one of whom was Holtzman.  She did vote to Impeach in Committee, but it never came to a floor vote.

In 1974, Holtzman was one of the Judiciary Committee members who recommended three articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal.
