Justice Department Policy

The Justice Department's policy that a sitting President cannot be indicted suggests that, during his next State of the Union address, President Trump could take out a gun and shoot Representative Adam Schiff, head of the House Intelligence Committee, to death in front of broadcasting cameras and in the presence of the Supreme Court Justices and the rest of the government, and the Justice Department would refuse to indict him.

Furthermore, it is possible that Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House -- who, from her seat behind and above the President, saw the President draw his gun, take aim, and shoot the Representative; and from her vantage point heard the President say "Die, you motherfucking pencil neck," while he, watched him die -- would refuse to authorize impeachment proceedings because that would be too upsetting for the country and disruptive of the business of the nation.

Perhaps after Trump leaves office, some might raise the possibility that a charge of murder -- or at least manslaughter -- might be brought against him, but others might point out that since the government failed to act and charge him at the time killing occurred, that to do so now would be viewed as petty and revengeful and not in keeping with legal practice.
