As a Trump hater, I hope he DOES pardon them all. That will be the end of his presidency.

At that point, even most of the GOP lawmakers will probably turn on him and begin the impeachment process.

If indeed the trail does lead back to Trump we need to know what was gained by contacting the Russians and if somehow this is criminal Trump could always take a term from the Democrat playbook and call it "Opposition Research"....
We already know that the Russians offered Donny Jr., Kushner, and Manafort Hillary's hacked emails (which apparently they never have had). In other words, Russia claims it has committed a litany of crimes to obtain damaging information about Clinton. Trump's family & team jump at the chance to get access.

Campaign manager and campaign advisor are indicted. Two advisers now convicted. And the public trail of evidence is already piled up quite high--much less the yet-to-be released information discovered by the special counsel and uncovered in closed session interviews by Congressional subcommittees.

The Pardon is not the issues. Flynn is expected to be pardoned. It's the truth of the matter of what really happened "IF anything".

And Flynn has been charged and now pled guilty for conduct as part of the Trump campaign and administration, NOT as part of the Obama administration.

So Ty Cobb's attempt to deflect culpability back on the Obama administration just makes him and anyone who thinks this is some valid point look stupid.

It has not been confirmed yet, but most "leaks" early this morning proved to be true.....

But Twitter is heating up about Jared Kushner being indicted on federal charges sometime in the next week

An excellent point. Now, imagine what would happen if he granted those pardons. It would be the final element necessary to prove criminal obstruction of justice in this case. As soon as Trump is no longer President he would be criminally charged. Also, that combined with the firing of Comey makes an excellent case for his impeachment based on the same obstruction of justice.

I doubt Trump would be stupid enough to issue pardons. However, if he does.....well its his funeral,

I don't think President Trump is having a bad day, he can pardon Flynn and fire Mueller whenever he wants.
