D'ya think ANYBODY @ the Very White House has told Trump that accepting a pardon, even a self-pardon

[Ken Burch]

...is an admission of guilt in the eyes of the law?

1. I actually don't think he cares about that. He's copped

to worse. It's not like he has any dignity to defend. As Lawrence Tribe said in his memo to DT, if they are pardoned, they can be compelled to testify against him...prison, loss of assets...these things he cares about.

2. he won't listen

in his fantasy world, he's done nothing wrong, it was just the way business is done these days, and all he cares about is making it all go away. He has no clue in the world that trying to make it go away by issuing blanket pardons before the investigation has been completed is going to make it at least fifty times worse as AGs in 50 states can potentially make his life hell.

3. He seems to have the impression that a pardon

Is some kind of bankruptcy. Just file chapter 7 and everything disappears. That's what he's use to. Trumps lack of experience and basic education is astounding.

4. To Trump, it's "What would Roy Cohn do?"
