>The report laid out 11 possible grounds for impeachment, including how misleading the public and lying to staff amounted to obstruction of justice. These findings have become particularly relevant as special counsel Robert Mueller, who is heading the Russia investigation, considers actions Trump has taken that could possibly be considered obstruction of justice.

 

>In 1998, Kavanaugh wrote extensively on the matter of impeaching a president, writing that independent counsel investigations can take “too long,” easily become “politicized,” and investigations can go beyond their original scope. He also seemed unconvinced that a president can even be indicted while in office.

 

>Over a decade later, Kavanaugh reiterated this belief in the Minnesota Law Review saying, “a serious constitutional question exists regarding whether a President can be criminally indicted and tried while in office.”

 

>Though Kavanaugh does not support investigating a sitting president, the one issue that could still trouble Trump is the judge’s belief in the role of impeachment.

 

>“If the President does something dastardly, the impeachment process is available,” Kavanaugh wrote in the Minnesota Law Review in 2009. “No single prosecutor, judge, or jury should be able to accomplish what the Constitution assigns to the Congress.”
