Donald Trump Retweets Call to Pardon Himself

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump has shared a call from his ally Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to consider granting a pardon to himself.

After he detailed the full pardon of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn on Wednesday, Trump retweeted a number of posts, largely related to claims of election fraud as he persists with his action against the election outcome.

Among posts he shared was a call from Gaetz made prior to Flynn's pardoning, which had encouraged the president to carry out this action.

In the clip from Fox News, Gaetz had also said Trump should consider using his pardoning powers for others should he see fit—including himself.

1. Hope that today Trump is enjoying the bird given him by voters on November 3.

2. Too Dumb To Realize...

...a self-pardon is an admission to crimes committed.
Gaetz is equally stupid. Clearly, he doesn't grasp that either.

3. So what exactly would he be pardoning himself for?

Okay Nixon wasn't charged and was pardoned by his hand picked successor Ford.
Okay so Casper Weinbereger wasn't tried or found guilty when George H. W. Bush pardoned him and five others involved in the Iran-Contra scandal.

So if a president pardons himself he is just above the law for whatever he did in the past or in the future?

4. Just the past. A pardon is definitely not a James Bond license to kill.

6. It is if you can pardon yourself. (Which I don't believe he could do)
