any wrongdoing in the Russia investigation after he showed no respect for the rule of law by pardoning Sheriff A.
He is on a roll.

(6,709 posts)He can't pardon himself for state crimes, and he can't plead the Fifth / avoid testifying with a pardon. And he can't pardon himself for future crimes, so perjury will still be on the table.
I hope that when we get to that point we reverse the multi-decade trend of letting the "rich" and powerful off, and throw the book at that...creature. He should die in jail, and get buried under it.
