    Default What if Trump really did shoot somebody on 5th Avenue?

    There has been a lot of discussion of late as to whether a sitting president can be indicted or not. All we currently have is DOJ guidance which says that a sitting president cannot be indicted. Given that this issue has never been challenged, we really don't know for sure.

    That said, what if Trump actually went off the deep end one day and actually did shoot somebody on 5th Avenue (which he has boated that he could get away with in the past)? What would happen?

    My believe is that he would be charged, tried, convicted and jailed. As such, this seems to strongly refute the DOJ guideline of not indicting a sitting president. Just my thoughts on the matter.

    And I believe his base would still be faithful.

    It would probably depend on who he shot.

    Perhaps some NRA member would finally do his duty. They've lied long enough!

    If state government indicted the President, his term would be over before the courts made all of their rulings.

    With Trump's Aim, the only Danger would be his own Foot.

    Trump actually said he could shoot someone on 4th avenue and not lose and voters. Not that he could get away with it. He was shocked to see that his cons worked on a national scale.

    Mueller would try to figure out how to tie it to the Russians.
