In the meantime, the never ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms! Note that the legal scholars he is referencing argue that the moment a president pardons themself, they need to be impeached on the spot. And those are conservative legal scholars. In more detail, the constitution charges the president with faithfully executing the law. The moment one pardons themself, they are no longer being faithful to the law. And the unitary executive theory that he is referencing explicitly says that any abuse of the pardoning power should result in impeachment. But he'll just ignore that crucial piece. --- ~Peaf~ ...
