Here is a call to all lawyers to help a citizen sort the matter of prosecuting Donald Trump if the evidence warrants.
There are two situations:
1. Candidate Trump's involvement in coordinating, conspiring and colluding with Russians interfering in American elections.
2. President Trump's actions to impede the investigation by obstructing justice.
If it is proven that the Trump campaign violated laws and regulations governing Amercian elections and the political system, then his legitimacy as President is in question.
If he is not the legitimate President, then none of his administration is legitimate. The executive branch is null and void.
If members of Congress participated in obstructing justice and the investigative process, then they would also be subjects for impeachment.
Since the Vice President is a member of the Trump campaign and is apparently conficted by his association with Paul Manafort and Donald Trump, he would be unable to serve as President.
The discussion about the President being immune from prosecution for obstructing justice might be a consideration only if it is determined that his actions as a candidate were legal and that his subsequent incumbency is legitimate.
The focus now should be on the candidate's actions. Second, a President must not have business conflicts with his serving. To determine that requires scouring his financial records. That has not been resolved and is now a part of the Special Prosecutor's examination.
Talk about pardoning, and that of immunity from being charged with obstructing justice has the cart way ahead of the horses.
I am not a lawyer, just a citizen for which ignorance of the law is without excuse.
"Trump's lawyer sparks intense debate on obstruction of justice
President Trump’s personal lawyer kicked off a fiery debate on Monday with one controversial statement: The president cannot be guilty of obstruction of justice.
The assertion comes in the wake of a presidential tweet, which legal analysts dubbed anywhere from “cataclysmic” to “a non-story,” that raised questions about whether Trump has put himself in legal peril in the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election."
