In reply to the discussion: Mueller Investigation Prosecutor Calls on Next Attorney General to Investigate, Prosecute Trump: ... [View all]crickets
(25,960 posts)19. I don't care if trump tries to pardon himself, or gets Pence to do it.
Weissmann concluded, In short, being president should mean you are more accountable, not less, to the rule of law.
Yes. Strike down any attempt at a pardon. Not only should it be made clear that no president is allowed to self-pardon, no president should get a pardon. That should be one of the many things a president gives but never receives. No president should ever, ever again feel that he can away with anything as long as he has his get out of jail free card.
Despite the fact that the Mueller Investigation ultimately found no evidence of Russian collusion
Oh, we could go on all day about what that sentence really means, but there should be a proper investigation into collusion. The Mueller Investigation ended up being less than comprehensive in some ways, to put it kindly, and we have yet to see the entire report. Do over on that one, big time.
Go after him for federal crimes. I'm pretty sure trump's on the hook for international crimes. Throw the book at him again and again, every single book we can find. We will never again know true peace as a country if we don't.
