"Everyone should be held accountable, and the president is not above the law."

Harris: Justice Dept. 'Would Have No Choice' But To Prosecute Trump After Presidency

California Sen. Kamala Harris says that if she's elected president, her administration's Department of Justice would likely pursue criminal obstruction of justice charges against a former President Donald Trump.

"I believe that they would have no choice and that they should, yes," Harris told the NPR Politics Podcast, pointing to the 10 instances of possible obstruction that former special counsel Robert Mueller's report detailed without making a determination as to whether the episodes amounted to criminal conduct.

AG, then we don’t need to.

Kamala can be the law and order VP.

Although the Administration and DOJ should be separate, they can certainly work together in the interest of justice and good.
