DOJ Initial Russia Hearings

i've been thinking about this.   if it's true that a president can't self pardon himself....wouldn't that extend to not being able to pardon those who break the law defending him from prosecution?  i am no lawyer so maybe way off base but it seems to make sense to me.

No.  The malcontents are back to alleging there was a quid pro quo, and it even then has to be a bribe outside of normal government operation.   Many Presidents such as Ulysses S Grant pardoned their buddies.

stone said he could have easily turned on trump to make his life easier.      to turn he would have had to offer evidence against trump.  if he didn't have that evidence he would have went to jail for his crimes.  he clearly implied in that statement  that he had the goods on trump.

The turncoat speaks his own 'evidence.'  Every day there are criminal suspects facing the choice between certain jail time or say what we want to hear. 

 
Anybody thinking Bill Barr isn't going to conjure up some BS investigation in the fall is fooling themselves. His boss is laying the groundwork publicly.

Also, you have to laugh, because this is the Trump equivalent of "Of course I know what we're talking about. But I don't want to just give it away to you, so why don't you tell ME what we're talking about?"
