Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) is warning President Trump's allies that they shouldn't expect a pardon in the ongoing Russia investigation should there be any convictions.

The Democratic lawmaker on Saturday tweeted that targets of the investigation should still feel compelled to testify.

"Any witness counting on a Russia investigation pardon should think again," Blumenthal tweeted, linking to an earlier report from The Hill quoting Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who said that Trump's pardon of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio was a signal to those targeted by the Justice Department.....

What is this Constitution you speak of? Such a thing doesn’t exist when one side completely ignores it, and the other side doesn’t care.

Threats from a lying weasel punk.

Hey Dickie...isn’t lying about a combat record actionable in a lot of venues?

Someone mentioned on another thread that Trump’s pardon of Arpaio was a signal to the swamp that he’s not afraid to use his pardon pen...I agree.

I guess the dems and the corrupt-state run special counsel are nervous that their threats of imprisonment won’t work.

No one expects a pardon who’s done nothing wrong.

But those who seek to create the false impression that wrongdoing has occurred will find sly ways to imply it.

Blumenthal is a leach on the American Taxpayer. He is also a liar regarding his service during the Vietnam era. He is despicable.

He was convicted July 31 of criminal contempt for disobeying a federal judge's order on detaining individuals suspected of being in the U.S. illegally

convicted by a judge, not a jury, for disregarding a federal judge's order to stop obeying federal law.

If the left feels that people are too pretty to go to jail, certainly a 85yo man with a wife who has cancer is too old to go to jail.

Blumenthal and Schiff both belong in a padded cell and forced to watch old Charlie Rose and Larry King shows for eternity. On second thought, since they are both insane, the would probably enjoy those shows.

Let’s make them watch “Romper Room” (more at their level of intelligence) and “Capt. Kangaroo” (Bob Kershan, do you thing).

Implication seems obvious that if anyone will soon be in sore need of pardons it will be Democrats.
Correct me if I'm reading this wrong, clearcarbon

If you answer, “Are you still beating your wife?” You can feel pretty sure it is a question asked by a Democrat. Same old nonsense.

Correct.

Richard Blumenthal can eat his words with a slug of Pepto-Bismol.

I’m sure there’s a few Republicans who are not working from the Democrats. But not many.
