Yesterday President Trump's personal attorney John Dowd told Axios that the president can not be guilty of obstructing justice because he's the chief law enforcement in the land under the Constitution.

That's the same mindset expressed to Robert Frost by Richard Nixon shortly after his resignation in the face of being impeached.

"If the President does it, it's not illegal", Nixon said in the televised interview.

Nixon went down in good part due to evidence uncovered during the independent investigation proving that he obstructed justice in the aftermath of the Watergate break-in. His own party, the Republicans, eventually agreed that he needed to be removed from office for the good of the country.
