However! There are some boundaries. As Ruckman noted, it applies only to federal crimes and crimes within Washington, D.C. If Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner were charged with sticking up a bodega in Queens, Trump couldn’t do much about it.
And maybe Hilllary should have known better than to allow Russia to purchase a nice chunk of the world's plutonium to be used for nuclear weapons. But, if there is money to be made, she'll sell our country and do it, just like her husband. Luckily, the country is rid of the the two biggest crooks since Bonnie and Clyde.
But, but, but Hillary, is getting old and tired....Trump is the topic today.
Check the title of the thread. Nothing there about telling lies about the Clintons. There are other threads for that.
I think the uranium deal was far too complicated for either this poster or Trump himself to understand...Of course Trump may have just been lying....He has been know to lie on occasion.
The Presidential pardon only applies to criminal charges.
Criminal charges come from the US Court System.
A sitting President of the USA can't be criminally prosecuted in the US Court system. (separation of powers)
A sitting President can only be removed from office by impeachment. Impeachment is not subject to any pardon. (separation of powers)
If Trump is first impeached, then he no longer has the power to pardon.
Hence there is no reason that Trump would be doing this. It doesn't make any sense.
It's fake news created by a "journalist" who obviously slept during high school civics.
It's not silly when you remember that Trump unlikely was very familiar with the rules and structure of our federal government before speaking to others about it. Including, of course, the impeachment process or his pardon power.
It would not be a shocking revelation to me if it was revealed that Trump thought it possible to pardon himself of everything in the investigation to "make it just disappear".
The fact that he was inquiring about his pardon power to me is just another illustration (in a long series of illustrations) of his naivety and lack of qualification for the office.
If it's just a witchunt, why is Trump concerned about pardons at all?
come on, don't you get the new spin form Trump lemmings, he's pardoning his family to troll the left and trap Mueller b/c he's playing 17 dimensional chess.
Trump is running scared now. He doesn't want anyone looking at his taxes. We all know why. The sons have said before the Russians loaned money to their dad when the American banks would not. Trump is up to his eyeballs with money laundering and corruption..
