Booker: SCOTUS Nom Should Be Halted; As Trump Is ‘Subject of a Criminal investigation'

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker (D.) suggested blocking President Donald Trump's upcoming Supreme Court nomination on Thursday, inaccurately saying it should be halted because the president is under "criminal investigation."
In the wake of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's announced retirement, MSNBC's Ari Melber asked Booker how he can take a position on Trump's future nominee without knowing who it is.
"This president is the subject of a criminal investigation," Booker said. "Here you have a president that's making a whole lot of loyalty tests and other things from people."
While Special Counsel Robert Mueller told Trump's lawyers in March he is under investigation, Trump is not considered a "criminal target," according to the Washington Post.
Booker also said the future justice could end up presiding over cases relevant to the investigation.
quote:And Booker is a frontrunner no more. Sorry dems. No one buys this garbage like they did from the original black jesus.
"Can a president pardon himself? Can a president be criminally indicted? Can a president dismiss the person that's investigating them?" Booker hypothesized as issues that could all come before the Supreme Court.
He repeated that Trump has a history of loyalty tests.
"Should that person be able to right now, while this criminal investigation's going on, be allowed to make an appointment? I say no," Booker said.
Booker testified as a character witness on behalf of his colleague Sen. Bob Menendez (D., N.J.), when he was on trial for public corruption for accepting bribes from his long-time friend Dr. Salomon Melgen, in exchange for political favors. The trial ended with a hung jury and the Department of Justice decided not to refile charges

Several of us were asking "what investigation" last night when we discussed this. We never received an answer - from anyone.

POTUS will likely remain the subject of a probe for the entirety of his presidency as that is a leverage point for the deep state. POTUS currently carries out his other duties without objection from the standpoint of his right to do so.
It is only the liberals fear of what lies ahead with SCOTUS and concerns over abortion that would cause Booker to put forth such an ill conceived point.

Good luck with that. Meanwhile Obama who should’ve been under many investigations did whatever he wanted. The media has lost their credibility with the people. The more they talk, the stronger Trump gets. Posted on 6/29/18 at 5:38 am to Homesick Tiger
Some Russians may have donated to, spoke of, or gone to the Trump inauguration like they did past Presidents.
Plus there is the Russian salad dressing, two scoops of ice cream and Trump met with the Russian Amb. (Only Obamaer can do this)
BTW: Sorry if this was already posted last night.

Look. Either come up with something serious or stop being silly. These antics are no better than the screwing of Garland Merrick.

which was a precise response to Biden and others saying they wouldn't consider seating anyone in Bush's last year but nobody died
As usual democrats set the lousy precedent

Gigantic difference between threatening to do something and actually doing it.
It was total bullshite and so are the Democrat histrionics now.

Every night, I go to bed and my last thought is... No way tomorrow can be better than today...
Then I wake up and some time during the day, something like this pops up...
Trump has broke their collective asses and its like Christmas almost every day....

Is he going to make his "angry" face if he doesn't get his way?

Cory Booker is the subject of a criminal investigation.
I've said it, so it must be true.

REPs: DEMs do not value and support the Constitution
DEMs: That is RIDICULOUS....oh, and he should NOT be able to do what the Constitutions says he is empowered to do because we don't like him!
REPs: * blink.....blink.....blink *
