Should Trump Pardon Himself on the Way OUT?

Should Trump Pardon Himself on the Way OUT?

Well he could do the Nixon thing which is to have the VP pardon him. After all, Pence wouldn't be in that position if not for Trump

Of course this went very badly for Ford in the end

I just think it depends what the prosecutor finds. If it's obstruction for saving Flynn, he'll get pardoned. If it's treason/espionage for colluding with Russia to rig the election, as the anonymous insider recently said, he's ****ed

Well, if Trump wasn't guilty then why would he need to pardon himself?

When you say "the left and their media partners" aren't you leaving somebody out? How about the FBI? Are they not part of this? Perhaps you are already speaking for the GOP Congress that most likely will do nothing about Trump even if he has impeachable offenses as long as he still has his 38% approval. I think it will go lower but maybe not.

The FBI used to do things in the background until the guy Pelosi, Schumer, Waters, Sanders, and others wanted removed, changed that policy. Of course, it's the left and their media partners who are pushing whatever story they make up about the FBI and it's activities.

Think about it. They create the obstruction meme out of thin air apparently knowing their posse will buy anything they say. Do they reveal the guy who is now in charge is an ardent member of the opposition with strong ties to Hillary Clinton? Nope. Dog Whistle, pack comes running.

The war on Democracy is rather massive, isn't it? I would expect it to have an impact, given the relentless nature of the left's offensive. But just like they admitted while reeling from defeat, they don't have a clue what everyday Americans are thinking. And it seems the left is anxious to repeat that same fatal mistake.

LOL I just noticed you are in a State that resists Trump and will not bow to his Gestapo-like "authority". Californians have shown they have true clarity and see Trump for what he is...a Charlatan and a thief. He lied to you to get your vote there is no shame in admitting that to yourself. Flynn has already admitted to taking $500,000 to work against American interests and who knows what riches Trump will enjoy? Well there are supeonas going out on all Flynn's business contacts as we speak, the evidence they bring may hold the key.

LOL

Your blather is never going to get very far with me iguanaman.

California voted for Hillary in droves because progressives have purified the electorate via their Progressive policies. It's the poster boy for Nanny State dependence on the largess of the government.

Think about it, the Unemployment rate is reaching full employment, and despite the highest taxes and fees in the Nation, Moonbeam and his tribe in the State Assembly are projecting deficits and economic struggles in the months and years ahead. They are heading for Armageddon, and they already bleed the citizens more than any other state.

Only liberal/socialist progressives could accomplish such a pathetic and catastrophic result. But, when you turn a population into addicts, it does get the votes.

Working for Turkeys interests is not working against our interests. Turkey wants the extradition of Gulen. How's that against American interests?

For one Turkey hates the Kurds who are our best allies in the region. Not to mention that the source of the $600,000 appears to be Russia.
The Turkish man who gave Mike Flynn a $600,000 lobbying deal just before President Donald Trump picked him to be national security adviser has business ties to Russia, including a 2009 aviation financing deal negotiated with Vladimir Putin, according to court records.

The man, Ekim Alptekin, has in recent years helped to coordinate Turkish lobbying in Washington with Dmitri “David” Zaikin, a Soviet-born former executive in Russian energy and mining companies who also has had dealings with Putin’s government, according to three people with direct knowledge of the activities.

This unusual arrangement, in which Alptekin and Zaikin have helped steer Turkish lobbying through various groups since at least 2015, raises questions about both the agenda of the two men and the source of the funds used to pay the lobbyists.

Why can't you answer the question? Or do you need a bouncing ball yourself?
 
If such a situation were to occur, Mike Pence would likely pardon Trump and Hillary in a sign of solidarity. Both Republicans and Democrats would agree to this.

I say yes, why not, SCOTUS sucks so bad why not try to embarrass them by making them rule on this...it will be his final act of war against our failed elite.

The fact that you of all people is now at least acknowledging that Trump might be on his way out speaks volumes.

You really do not pay attention do you.....i knew that Trump was in trouble mid December when I was not hearing about convoys of lawyers headed to Washington to back him up like FDR had, and by mid Feb I put down on my calendar 3.15.18 as GET THE PARASITE OUT OF TOWN DAY.

Why do you keep embarrassing yourself like this?

What kind of a stupid question is that. A president can't pardon himself for God's sake.

No doubt that is why Putin is so interested in Turkey and there is no doubt that the Russians have Eradogan's ear. It is also no coincidence that Trump was the only major world leader to send Erdogan congratulations in "winning" a referendum that makes him all powerful. "Hurrah another dictatorship is born." is our Presidents official position. Aren't you proud? Who do you think put him up to that? The same smuck that got Trump to give that RT TV exclusive of Trump and 2 Russian diplomat/spies bragging and laughing about him firing Comey in OUR Oval office.. Trump is like Putin's puppet on a string. It would be comical but it makes us look like blithering idiots to the rest of the world.

He doesn't need to pardon himself because he cannot be indicted for any crime no less convicted. Only the Congress can remove him from office and if that happens his successor can certainly pardon him for all crimes.
