Trump lawyer John Dowd said -
"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." It seems to me that this represents a tacit admission of obstruction of justice in the same vein as "Even if he did collude, collusion isn't a crime" is an admission of "collusion." Trump's legal team is clearly setting the stage to say the president cannot be charged with any of the core crimes discussed in the Russia probe: collusion and obstruction. Presumably, you wouldn't preemptively make these arguments unless you felt there was a chance charges are coming. https://www.axios.com/exclusive-trum...514742663.html
