John Dowd, President Trump's outside lawyer, outlined to me a new and highly controversial defense/theory in the Russia probe: A president cannot be guilty of obstruction of justice.
The "President cannot obstruct justice because he is the chief law enforcement officer under [the Constitution's Article II] and has every right to express his view of any case," Dowd claims.

Holy shit! They actually went there. The argument is - Trump is above the law by sole virtue of his chief-executive status.
The Gadfly now recalls what movie character he saw once who so effectively channeled the aura of the Grand Old Pussygrabbing Trump . .... this fellow:
