CNN’s Toobin: I Certainly Think Impeachment Is Unlikely

‘It’s not clear that even if [Muller] finds evidence that Trump should be indicted that a president of the United States can constitutionally be indicted’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TOOBIN: "Legally I think there's also an important point which is obviously director Mueller is going to investigate this whole issue of obstruction of justice."
BLITZER: "The new special counsel."
TOOBIN: "Correct. But it's not clear that even if he finds evidence that Trump should be indicted that a president of the United States can constitutionally be indicted. That's never been resolved. That means the only resolution would be impeachment, and that, of course, is intentionally very much a political process. Republican-dominated Congress, so, you know, we need to take this one step at a time. I don't think there's going to be indictment. It certainly -- I certainly think impeachment sun likely. The most important thing now that I think we can go Dow is get as many facts as we can, but in terms of actual legal consequences, court cases, impeachment, we're a ways off from any resolution."
