New Square pardon for votes for Hillary.

Comey exonerated the Clintons on that crime.

Be a shame if someone beat the teeth out of Eric Levitz's lying seditious face.

If someone got it on video, they could make a pile of cash, though...

Maybe they could also get a video of Schneiderschwein getting interviewed by Donowitz and Lucille...

A power not seldom exercised does not exist.

You're ignoring the threat of using it, which caused Nixon's resignation and, coupled with Clinton's actual impeachment, made two in 25 years, recently. If, as Brilliant Bob fears, the President were to badly abuse his pardon power (for example, by pardoning thousands of some reprehensible group), the possibility of impeachment then becomes very real.

“reports reveal” Really, what reports from which agency, who wrote those reports?

Fake news.

Yes, that is the theory, but I am talking practice.

From what I observed in the Clinton and Obama administrations, the Democrat Party will never overcome partisanship, regardless of the offence, to remove one of their own from office.

The Democrats have adopted a mafia mentality and have no respect for the ideals of the Constitution.
