PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz said President Donald Trump should pardon himself and others in his administration before leaving office to prevent the "radical left" from prosecuting them.

"President Trump should pardon Michael Flynn," Gaetz said. "He should pardon the Thanksgiving turkey. He should pardon everyone from himself to his administration officials to Joe Exotic if he has to."

He should do just that. The deranged progs have been calling for him to be jailed despite not even a hint of lawbreaking. Clearly, they would be more than happy to put him in jail despite no crime being commmitted. He should short circuit that type of illegal and unconstitutional threat.

I :heart; Q

He should, that would be hilarious. Icing on the cake of presidential misconduct.

Now I'll leave the lawyering to you, but I was under the layman's impression that a pardon involves some admission of guilt or wrongdoing, no? Burdick?

Yes, it does. You can't be pardoned for NOT doing a crime.

But I guess tRump is unaware that he cannot pardon himself.

Maybe Qrump is afraid of Federal charges against him...?

Flynn needed it- he's guilty as hell and has the Kraken for a "lawyer"

who's next? great album, BTW.

Lionel Hutz

Another A+++

There is no protection from state prosecution.



-------------------------
I was right.

Hey lawyers what is your take here:

Fun fact; now he's been pardoned, Mike Flynn loses all protection against compelled testimony under the 5th Amendment, so he can be subpoenaed anytime by the House and if he lies, he goes to jail.

"Michael Flynn was a paid foreign asset of the Turkish government after he was appointed National Security Advisor. This would be akin to Jake Sullivan currently being on the take from the Iranians.

It is a scandal without modern precedent. Trump and the GOP own it."

There will LOTS of pardons coming. Gaetz, in between his asskissing and worse, is being used to float this action to get the base used to it and agree with it. They are using Gaetz to politicize the pardons and use it to state loudly and often that these pardons are necessities to avoid the future prosecutions. Those are labeled witch hunts and the pardons are being rationalized by the the previous "witch hunts" that found nothing. The laying of the ground work must come from outside trump and back the appearance of a good idea that he really thinks about, tries to avoid and ultimately decides to do because the demon democrats are likely to "lock them up."
