Since Donny has been in office he has pardoned in the neighborhood of 1800 people….and that will not be the end of it…..he may have further pardons in mind……
President Trump says he could wipe his own legal slate clean—and that of his team—if he so chooses. In a Newsmax interview on Thursday, the president said he has the authority to grant himself a pardon, though he claimed he hasn’t seriously considered it because he believes he “did nothing wrong,” per People. He noted he could’ve done so at the end of his previous term but didn’t expect to be, in his words, dragged “through the mud.”
“I’m allowed to do a pardon, a self-pardon,” he added. Trump also said he’s weighing clemency for aides so they don’t endure “years of nonsense” and legal bills. No president has ever tried to self-pardon and then faced prosecution. Asked on Friday if Trump actually plans to pardon himself or his staff, a White House spokesperson pointed back to his Newsmax comments.
One person who may not be lucky enough to receive such clemency from Trump, per the Irish Star: Kimberly Guilfoyle, the now former US ambassador to Greece and former fiance to Trump’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr. “I don’t wanna think about it,” the president told Newsmax of a potential pardon for her. “I was disappointed in what I read. … I haven’t spoken to her. I’ve known her over the years. I’ve known her for many years.” He added that she’d done a “very good job” as ambassador and that “the interesting thing is she was the toast of the town over in Greece.”
For all his ‘illegal’ doings he may have a plan to avoid being held accountable for his misdeeds.
I would expect nothing else….he sees the writing on the wall and he is scrambling to walk away from this treasure chest robbery scott free.
Is there a plan in place that cannot prevent him from escaping these misdeeds and being made to pay….and pay dearly?
What will the Dems do? Do they have a plan to stop this from happening?
I seriously doubt it.
And what do you think?
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
Once he sees the end is imminent, he will of course pardon himself from all current and any future prosecutions. But those taking over need to have the guts to ignore that and jail him anyway. (I know, that happening is a dream…)
Best wishes, Pete.
I was unaware that a president could pardon himself. Somehow that seems like a major error in our constitution! In any event, there is little doubt he will do so before he leaves office. Disgustingly, this man is extremely adept at getting off scott-free for all the **crap** he’s pulled throughout most of his life.
And that part about him “never seriously considering it” — tell me another joke.
