Possibility of Trump pardoning himself sparks GOP pushback
The Hill ^ | 06/03/18 | Mallory Shelbourne

New talk of President Trump possibly pardoning himself drew pushback from Republicans on the Sunday show circuit this week.

Both Congressional Republicans and the president's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, urged caution that a self-issued pardon could be politically problematic for Trump.

But Giuliani said the president “probably” has the power to give himself a pardon even though doing so would prove to be difficult.

“I think the political ramifications of that [pardoning] would be tough. Pardoning other people is one thing. Pardoning yourself is another,” Giuliani told ABC’s “This Week.”

Etc...

No. That’s not true. He (Rudy) was asked in an interview and gave an honest answer. The president probably could pardon himself. That would probably result in impeachment, but the president could probably do it nonetheless.

A pardon wouldn’t stop impeachment.

If Trump ever did “pardon himself” he would do so with my complete support.

The people who are against him are terrorists who are out to destroy the country. It’s simply not a fair playing field.

Secondly, if “they” attempted to remove Trump from office I guarantee.... GUARANTEE and I do not say this with a light heart but I GUARANTEE a full blown civil war.

We will not allow this to happen. Not now that we understand the enemy.

The roads of the entire state of NY will run red with blood of the cabal of northeastern sh!tbags who are actively trying to destroy our country.

I think the MSM twisted or left out key points in what Giuliani said. In other words more fake news.

He can't go out with the wife for a dinner and a movie any more.

So he is making his own entertainment.

I don’t think Trump’s supporters would care. They know the Russian investigation is rigged. They know that Obama’s tried to rig the Presidential election.

While it would be political suicide the power to pardon is absolute and the only thing a president can’t pardon are impeachments...

And should he do that (pardon himself) it would almost certainly wind up with impeachment charges being brought.

With all that said. This all just trolling the Dems and media.
