AND if you take that pardon you cannot plead the 5th amendment going forward
You are required to give testimony and can't try to avoid that or you VOID the pardon and have to take the punishment...

I could be wrong, but I don't think Nixon was ever convicted of any crime as far as Watergate was concerned. I know he was granted a pardon by his successor shortly after leaving office, but that was a pardon for any crimes he "might" have committed. Also, Nixon was not impeached for his possible involvement in Watergate either. He resigned from his post as President of the United States. However, more than likely he would have been impeached if the proceedings had been allowed to go forward had he not resigned.

Don't you think it's time we see who has what on who? It's already been proven that the FBI used fabricated information to obtain a FISA warrant. I wouldn't put anything past these guys to try and do it again. It's time for the American people to see the evidence laid out before them and let them judge for themselves.

Not one client. Trump and the Trump Organization are not the same legal entity.

That just puts a spotlight on what the basis for this is. The US DOJ just doesn't haphazardly issue a search warrant on an attorney much less the President's personal lawyer. And this was issued by a recently Trump appointed Attorney General. Now think about that, what prompted this??

It may look like a twig when stepped on and turn out to be a snake.
But like I said, Trump said he hires only the best people. But Wray is now an incompetent Communist?

We seem to be stuck in a loop here.

Michael Avenatti is on MSNBC and having some pity for Michael Cohen for being raided
He suggests Cohen was set up as target by Trump when he threw him under the bus in his comments on AirForce One

Ford pardoned Nixon for crimes he might have committed. It was very board.

This could be the beginning of the end for POTUS Trump. He seems enraged, he might fire Sessions and Rosenstein and replace him/them with a "yes man" who will fire Mueller.

Oh, good grief.
