46. Pence can't pardon Trump for a state crime.
|
At least that is my understanding.
The constitutional language governing pardons reads, “The President … shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” Only a state governor could pardon trump for offenses against said state. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/05/24/could-trump-issue-himself-a-pardon/?utm_term=.4251aaede65f Hopefully he runs afoul of crimes against ny state and AG Schneiderman puts him behind bars.  |

39. I trust Taylor and Schindler.
|
I trust those two more than some others I could mention, anyway.
That said... just based on the language of the tweets, this doesn't actually point to action. "I'm sure we're going to jail" can mean "I've done slimy things and I'm afraid I might get caught." Particularly if it's, say, Kushner -- who's not really known for his expertise about, well... anything. Just an idiot with a guilty conscience (guilty as in "I know I did it," not "I regret doing it."  And Schindler's tweet... well, 200 countries could turn over tapes of 45 actually talking about bribery; it still would require the GOP to do something about him. And they won't. Period.
My feeling is that when they've decided he's an anchor on their reelection chances, they'll start turning more and more to a medical excuse. (And the fact that he's suddenly spent a boatload of cash on attack ads against Republican senators who are opposing the wealthcare bill just might be the anchor we need!) That said... I'll take the hope and run with it! |
