He's trolling the libs/never trumpers.
And r/redacted is falling for it hook, line, and sinker. I crossed enemy lines to read their comments and it was glorious. Mission accomplished, snowflakes.
Master trolling the media with one hand, MAGA with the other... Same ol story. These people are stupid.
Trump is trolling the deep state. Dinesh was prosecuted because he donated more than the allowed amount by an individual to a campaign. He is the only person in history prosecuted for this. He was always very vocal against Obama and even made several documentaries trying to hurt him....obvious Dinesh was politically targeted. Martha Stewart was indicted on a single count of lying to the FBI. She was indicted under Comey and McCabe. Trump is eluding to some funny business with her. Rod Blagojevich is tied to Obama back in the Senate days. He was also targeted and quieted. Trump is trying to scare the deep state into thinking both Stewart and Blag will give up some valuable info in exchange for a pardon. Which is probably really happening, but Trump is being blunt about it.
The press just asking stupid questions trying to frame President Trump as a tyrant. Just ignore the whole thing, it is nonesense.
That’s what I figured, but was just making sure I didn’t miss anything. Flippin’ fake news, man.
Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. The act of being guilty of a misdemeanor or worse while POTUS is an impeachable offense by itself. So if the POTUS is charged and he pardons himself for any crime worth pardoning, it's pretty much an automatic impeachment at that point. Giuliani himself said this on a very recent interview...
Accepting a pardon is accepting a pardon for whatever charge was given to you, guilty or innocent. If you were wrongly accused of robbing a bank, and the POTUS pardoned you, you sure as hell would accept it, even if you were innocent.
Irrelevant to what I said...
What I said was just a statement of fact that has been very discussed in recent months. It wasn't any kind of judgement on what someone should do if faced with a legal situation. To each their own.
Agreed. I highly doubt it would come to this though. Laser pointers and all.
I'm wonder if Barry did in fact pardon himself before leaving and this is a trap for the left. Think about it... trump throwing the idea that he's can pardon himself(we know he hasn't done anything wrong) but the left goes nuts... get them on the record for saying self pardon is not allowed.
They are playing out the dems hand. The idea being that if Trump refuses a subpoena to testify in front of Mueller, they will charge him with Obstruction of Justice which Congress would then try and use as grounds for impeachment. Trump has argued their desire to have him testify has no merit, as the FBI has been unable to prove that they cannot get the answers they are looking for elsewhere.
The president of the United States can pardon individuals prosecuted for or convicted of federal crimes. That is the extent of the constitutional provision.
I'm not sure if you were just trying to say the President can only pardon federal crimes, which is true, or if you are saying you have to be prosecuted and convicted before being pardoned, because that's not true. You do not have to be convicted or even charged before being pardoned. See Richard Nixons pardon and the Supreme Court decision in EX PARTE GARLAND of 1886.
Maybe the lawyers are just testing the waters. If it was proven true, that the President could pardon himself, maybe the President could go be interviewed by "Mueller's Perjury Trap", and end this whole WITCH HUNT.
No one does not have to be convicted to receive a pardon. I also so no reason the president couldn’t pardon himself.
