(44,922 posts)The Attorney General can't unilaterally "bring charges" -- there would have to be an indictment based on the presentation of evidence. And it would be impossible to present evidence of "treason" under the Constitutional standard and there is no crime called "high crimes". Bribery? Fine. Make a case under the federal bribery statute whatever th
at might say. Not going to waste time looking.
And no the Supreme Court can't "step in and rule on it." There is a process by which cases come to the Court. It does not have original jurisdiction except in limited circumstances.
And if he committed a murder right now in public he would still become president on January 20.He could be convicted of murder between now and January 20 and he'd still become president on January 20.
And even if all the things you suppose can happen could happen (and they can't) how does Hillary Clinton end up as President?
Oh wait -- she doesn't.
