In the United States, the pardon powerfor federal crimes is granted to the President of the United States under Article II, Section 2 of the United StatesConstitution which states that the President "shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment ...

So no high crimes or misdemeanors which the President may have committed. This is exactly what courts all agreed on in 1974 when Nixon floated the idea of pardoning himself. They all ruled no one can judge their own case meaning the President may not legally pardon himself. Kidiot can claim what ever he wants but the courts have already ruled otherwise just like they have ruled Presidents do have to obey subpeonas.

What the frick are you talking about? Courts don't make rulings about what the President thinks. Are you drunk again?

The Mueller investigation is unconstitutional so he makes a good point. If no one cares about anti-Trump people attacking the Constitution then why should Trump supporters care if he pardons himself.

That is just so much *DERP*.

Has anyone else noticed that Trump started talking about pardoning himself the day before the special master in the Cohen case declared 99.5% of the documents and electronic files seized in the raid on Cohen's home and offices were NOT protected by attorney client privilege? Quite famously both Cohen and Trump had claimed virtually all of the seized material was protected by attorney client privilege, they were desperately relying upon that claim to prevent the documents from being made public, but now a Bush appointee (Republican) judge has found almost none of it is.

So Trump knows virtually all of his and Cohen's dirty secrets are going to be made public and immediately upon learning that Trump wrongfully starts claiming he can pardon himself (Hint: He cannot; the constitution forbids it). Yep, Trump is totally guilty and he knows he is guilty because only guilty people need pardons.

That's because the BBC exists to disparage American conservatives.

I think it's in their Charter.

**** you're stupid.

Wonder why the BBC never flippantly reports on Muslims being killed by animals.

See this is what I'm talking about.

"The president interfered with an investigation"

HE'S THE PRESIDENT!

"Yeah, but he can't interfere with an investigation of himself."

next day...

"The FBI didn't spy on Trump. He has nothing to worry about!"
