On Friday, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) sent out the following tweet about President Trump’s SCOTUS Nominee Brett Kavanagh:
The president's Supreme Court nominee has said sitting presidents can NOT be prosecuted, should NOT be investigated, and should have the authority to fire a special counsel AT WILL. With the president facing serious legal jeopardy, the nomination should not be moving forward.

Feinstein’s first contention, that Kavanaugh “has said that sitting presidents can NOT be prosecuted” and “should NOT be investigated,” is wildly misleading.

Moreover, he states that the Constitution already “establishes a clear mechanism to deter executive malfeasance.” This process is called impeachment. – READ MORE

Schiff’s tweet is remarkably similar to the tweet sent out by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) on Friday.
As The Daily Wire explained in great detail when correcting Feinstein’s error, Brett Kavanaugh does not believe that a president is “above the law.” Such an assertion is patently false.
In 2009, Kavanaugh wrote in the Minnesota Law Review that Congress should think about enacting a statute which would defer “personal civil suits,” as well as “criminal investigations and prosecutions” against a president until he has left office – READ MORE
