Considering Melania's 23-day absence from public view (and recent hospital stay), and Trump's known brutality, this may not be a hypothetical question.
Suppose President Trump punched the First Lady in the White House (federal property = federal jurisdiction), then ordered the Secret Service to conceal the assault. POTUS has Article II authority over Secret Service. Is that obstruction? Under Sekulow/Dowd, apparently NO

considering that she had an emergency kidney surgery, you might not want to be in the public view for a couple of days. you might just want to stay in bed and rest. has that ever crossed your mind?
-
My co-worker had her gall bladder out on a Friday and was back at work on Tuesday.
-
Same with me. I had a lobe of my lung removed. I was in the hospital 6 days and cooked dinner at home on the 7th. Because I wanted to.
-
It seems to me, historically, that Trump would want her seen to end the questions. Like, after the hand swiping thing. That women had to hold his hand the whole rest of that trip. He is hiding something.
-
Why is it that nobody is speculating on the obvious? .... Plastic surgery! After all, it was scheduled shortly after her birthday and Trump said on F&F that he didn't get her a present. Maybe b/c the cosmetic surgery was the present all along but he didn't want to say it.
-
People ARE speculating on that. There are a number of reasons she isn't there. And People are exhausting every one of them.

This could happen under almost any president with that logic, but you likely wouldn't accuse Obama of domestic violence. After all, it would be racist to say anything negative about a black man ever, Obama is the most perfect being in existence.
-
Do you honestly think that Michelle would've just meekly stayed in the residence and kept her mouth shut if her husband hit her? I mean, seriously.
-
I'm not sure, possibly, but then again, I don't think Obama ever had any significant domestic abuse incidents, so it's a moot point.
-
Michelle Obama would not have kept her mouth shut. She is a strong woman who does not need her husband to take care of her she can efficiently take care of herself She can also take care of the girls without a man if she had to. Melania is in a different League than Michelle
-
My point exactly.

If trump cracked mel and she left with the kid & files for divorce...that is game-over for trump.
-
How so? So far he's never been held accountable for anything his whole life. He buys his way out of everything with money or blackmail or both etc...
-
True. No consequences for *allegedly* raping Ivanna.
-
Plus no consequences for Trump when he raped 12 and 13 year old children.
-
He paid for the abortion of yet another playboy mistress who looks like Ivanka. Yet he might get away with that too.http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/05/more-evidence-that-broidy-was-covering-for-trump-in-affair.html …

You think it’s a coincidence that sink hole appeared just as she went missing?
-
Very astute observation.
-
She dead
-
I hope not. I don’t like her but don’t wish her that. I’d like to believe Mueller whisked her away for long talks. Wouldn’t that be a surprise flip.
-
Be Best was a disaster and she disappears right after.She either killed herself or he did it. But she dead.
-
This I simply can’t believe. That would mean not just Secret Service but Walter Reed doctors, nurses, orderlies, admin were in on it. Impossible.
-
It’s super weird! Best guess is she’s hiding out with her parents who are sick. But why don’t they just say that if that’s the case? That’d be the least scandalous explanation.
