Watergate prosecutor mocks Trump's embarrassing Stormy Daniels lawsuit: He'll go to court ‘with a paper bag over his head’

When discussing the never-ending legal conundrum surrounding whether or not President Donald Trump can be indicted in criminal court while in office, a former Watergate prosecutor joked that he was likely to appear in civil court soon.

"I don't see why you could not try this particular president," Watergate prosecutor Nick Ackerman said.

The prosecutor noted that President Bill Clinton "argued it would take away from his duties as president because he was fully engaged" — but that logic wouldn't apply as evenly to Trump given that he willingly entered the legal fracas with alleged mistress Stormy Daniel.

"You've got a president suing a porn star whom he claims he doesn't know, and he may have to show up there and testify as [lawsuit pseudonym] David Dennison — perhaps wearing a paper bag over his head because he doesn't want anybody to know who he is," Ackerman joked.

He went on to note that Trump is far from fully engaged in his duties, making the Clintonian argument obsolete.
