Hundreds of former federal prosecutors have signed onto a letter saying President Trump would have been charged with obstruction of justice if he were anyone other than the president.
The letter was signed by former Justice Department prosecutors who served under both Democratic and Republican administrations, including ex-U.S. attorneys and public corruption trial lawyers. It was released Monday by Protect Democracy, an advocacy group formed two years ago that is routinely critical of the Trump administration.In the letter, the former prosecutors say special counsel Robert S.
Mueller examined nearly a dozen acts by the president for potential obstruction of justice. He ultimately reached no conclusion on whether Trump had criminally obstructed justice, citing in part an opinion from the department’s Office of Legal Counsel that says a sitting president cannot be indicted.
But the ex-prosecutors make clear that in their view the evidence leans heavily in the other direction.
