I was talking about this guyās actual legal arguments about hypothetical administrative powers of the presidency. I do not give a shit about Hillaryās emails and I did feel that what trump did was illegal.
You have to, they canāt start a criminal investigation if they didnāt think it was a crime. Both crimes are just as equally āadministrativeā.
Similarly all of our foundational documents are living documents so a penalty just needs to be issued and precedent would be set. No one legitimately expected such a fucking masturbatory love of a document the writers of specifically said to change ā¦ Often and as the need presents.
No, Iām talking about law. Administrative law is set by the administrative branch of the government as delegated by congress. Itās not codified, but is the policy and procedures of those administrative bodies, which has the force of law. Breaching those policies and procedures, which is what Trump did, is in violation of administrative law.
A legal duty is a more nebulous concept that is generally based on legal precedent. Usually has to do with something related to torts. You canāt just take someone to court for an novel legal duty and expect that to magically stick criminally. It needs to be codified by congress or created in administrative law first.
If itās a law they have a legal duty, your hedging doesnāt particularly make sense.

Iām not getting into semantics, Iām talking about the original post I replied to, namely
Which is talking about a duty in derived sense, not a codified duty.
He does, nothing youāve offered implies or states otherwise.
No, it has to do with a law or rather a series of them an oath to office and an oath to maintain national secrets.
