What to do when the president is a crook

NCR MSW: What to do when the president is a crook
Whether the Pesident is a crook or not is irrelevant.  I am sure he does believe he is. He is either stupid or crazy like a fox. I addressed this topic on my Christian Left blog (link in the comments). The urgent question is whether he is a clear and present danger to the nation. If he can be shown to be a Russian asset, the answer is yes. As a private citizen, he can certainly register as a foreign agent. He cannot do so as President. The fact that appointees seem to be running interference to keep him from doing real damage must be considered a constitutional crisis. So is his reported addiction to snorting crushed Aderall. Lastly, because his children are likely to be arrested soon, he cannot be given a chance to give them an unconditional pardon.

Sadly, Vice Pesident Pence lacks the courage to invoke the 25th Amendment. Mr. Mueller can force his hand by presenting probable cause for his arrest to the D.C. Federal Magistrate. A fax from the Clerk's Office to the Secret Service to change his status from protectee to prisoner will force Pence's hand. Indictment and impeachment can follow, as being under arrest ends his immunity from indictment.

Public sentiment will shift if Trump is in custody. His lunatic fringe will never believe he is a crook. Their opinion will not change in two years and it should be disregarded now.

The police power is not about moral guilt or innocence. If is meant to protect others from danger. That is why Manifort got off easy, why capital punishment is necessary and late term abortion is legal.
