Let me guess the political parties of the signees. And, of course, they are all objective and do not involve themselves in politics. Of course, they can make these determinations through publicity and innuendo at arm's length.
"Signatories have been vetted to the best of our ability." Meaning, believe this shit at your own hazard.
Has all the authority of a partisan testimonial.

So what ? They still have legal reputations. Are you guys really that dishonest ? Either it's a fact or it's not.
Let's see how many conservative prosecutors come out and say "bullshit, no way."

663 is a lot. These are prosecutors talking about law.
Yeah, you're probably right. It's all just partisan politics.

The letter's list of signees — 663 as of Tuesday afternoon — includes at least 42 people who have served in the Justice Department under Trump and more than 100 officials who have served in the DOJ for 20 years or more.
It also includes the signature of Jeffrey Harris, who worked for Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani when he was the then-associate attorney general under President Ronald Reagan. Bill Weld, a former assistant U.S. attorney during the Reagan administration running as a Republican against Trump in 2020, also signed the letter.

How many former prosecutors are there in US? Apparently all of them except the 650 do NOT say that he'd be indicted, president or not. The OP should realize that, no?

Lame. 650 signed it, many federal prosecutors and a lot of DOJ prosecutors, laying their reputation on the line.
AS soon as a huge number of conservative prosecutors, including similar number of federal and DOJ prosecutors start putting their reputation on the line by saying that this is not true, then you will have a point.

That's a hoot. A person doesn't sign a letter so that means they automatically take the opposite position?
One would think a counter letter taking the opposite position would be appropriate, no? Is there one?

In other words... if someone made those demands and weren't specifically given those powers by the constitution they would have been consider in violation of the law. Well, that's pretty silly too: If someone made those demands and weren't the president, those demands would have been meaningless and so wouldn't have been a problem either.

What fact are we discussing?
That 650 out of the millions of lawyer have a political opinion about POTUS? Shocking.
Their opinion is unsubstantiable by the facts. Or do I also need to find an article that quotes anonymous experts to argue against the OP?

There's a reason they are all former prosecutors.
So we should take the advice of people that couldn't hold their job?

Most likely they signed the much publicized document to get their names in front of state HR supervisors...

I get it. Being a TRump supporter requires one to not understand that it's very probably either a true fact or not, that TRump would be indictede for obstruction if he weren't President.
Sure it's only a matter of:

In your world I'll presume that law isn't based on clear precedent and reason.
In your world, prosecutors don't have to worry about their reputation of being a competent prosecutor, and they are happy to put their signature to a legal opinion that is incorrect and makes hem appear to be a political hack.

That's just how fucking stupid the Liberals are. He wouldn't have Presidential problems if he wasn't President.
It's hard to impeach a Citizen the fucking moronic imbeciles.
Liberals even Suck at a phony Narrative. Give up already the Losers! Their shit is pathetic and weak as fuck.

So the article admits even if Trump wasn't running for President the FBI, CIA, DOJ and NSA would spy on a citizen of the US. Drum up bogus charges against him then railroad him through a Kangaroo court in a witch hunt.
Trump must send these bastards back to the bowels of hell. I hope they all fry in the chair or hang by the neck for what they've done.

The statement refers to felony obstruction of justice, something you don't have to be President to be guilty of.
When you don't understand something, that's not a valid argument of why it's not true.
Newsflash: Presidents are not above the law. It's a documented fact - that Trumps crimes would be far worse if his staff hadn't disobeyed his orders on numerous occasions.

Barr has acknowledged in testimony that he did not consider any evidence in the Mueller report in forming his opinion about it's conclusions.
Interesting no ?

You guys will be burying this story quickly. I get that you don't want to acknowledge it, you want everyone to not pay attention to it.
And surprisingly you're getting your wish. What happened to the liberal main stream media ?
Can this fact be buried quick enough ? Can Trump come up with something outrageous enough that somehow people will be distracted and just move on ? Who knows ?
Hey, I know what. Maybe a story about what a failed businessman he is can distract us from this ?
That's right 720 and counting.
What do you say all the Trump Cucks just agree not to comment on this one, and hope this thread gets buried as fast as possible.
(edited - it's 720 now)
