It’s a #Law140-only episode this week, as T. Greg preps for a Wednesday trial. Join us as we talk about our beloved Papaya POTUS Donald Trump, and go over the reasons why he can’t be indicted by Robert Mueller while Trump’s still in office — including the Constitutional text, three of the Federalist papers, two OLC memos, and a handful of Supreme Court cases!
Our summary of criminal justice news will return later this week!
