How Trump’s Pardons Of Russia Figures Could Backfire If He Is Prosecuted | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Democrats love balls in and around their mouths
Not only murdering a random person but how about your political opponent in an upcoming election. That’s Putin’s playbook, and every other despotic dictator who ever lived. Hey republicans, would you approve of this scenario…. trump runs in 2024, and in October, just a month before the election, Biden gets someone to murder trump, and then pardons himself. Then he wins the election because republicans are in disarray with a few weeks before the election. Then every election after that the Dems hold power by murdering their opposition. What do you say…. all good with that are you….?
Manafort looks like he’s been at a spa. See the smug look on his face!
There is going to be some kind of firework show…or not…post Jan 20th…
According to the Constitution, the President must “Faithfully Execute the Law”!?!? And be “Indicted NEVERTHELESS of Impeachment”!?!?
I’m have little doubt that Trump is SELLING these pardons…or at least as a quid pro quo.
Glenn kirschner for AG because justice matters.
I hope they prosecute the b astard, family and cronies!
They can be compelled? What are they going to do, ship them off to GITMO and stick bamboo under their fingernails? You should watch a couple of Roger Stone videos when he’s being deposed. He’s a rabid dog. Manafort won’t be any better. The truth will go with them to their graves. They are “kept men” by Trump.

There is a similarity. A recent ancestor?

DEFUND TRUMP!
Trump is transactional!!! Most probably there may be hidden agreements to get some funds either in the USA or outside the USA!!!
LOL You’re so dumb
May they pay for their sins.
May they be locked up in Mar-A-Lago with no other company but each other and McDonald’s hamburgers on thr menu for the rest of their days.
let us not forget. trump is not alone in this. the entire republican party has been profiting behind trump… every single one of them thats tried to back up his attempt to overthrow the election… each and every one of them needs to be investigated to expose them for what they are, crooks..
The laws of this Country is stupid
When you see so many down votes on a Rachel Maddow clip, know it’s stings the Russians and their little agent Orange.
“PARDON HIMSEF”!! how ridiculous a subject is it by itself even to raise for discussion!!
There are certain fundamental, universal legal principles which no modern law or norm
even avails of itself over them – like “nulla poena sine lege” or “ignorantia juris neminem excusat”
or “nemo judix in re sua causa” – translated, the last one would mean “one cannot be a judge
in his own cause!” What do you mean pardon himself??
Leftist delusions. Wait on it baybeee………see you in DC
setting himself up to be back-charged by pardonees being forced to grand jury hearings….karma baby.
“Before I go, I pardon myself from any federal crimes”
Wait what?
Prosecuted for what, exactly??
There was NO COUNTERINTELLIGENCE REPORT on the King in the White House by Mueller. “Billions Spent on U.S. Defenses Failed to Detect Giant Russian Hack.” I believe everything was given to Russia by the King in the White House & his Court (including big connections with Private Companies) in order to do the Hacking. Look at all the millions of people who voted for the King & also the number of high status Republicans who voted to End Democracy but was shot down by the USA Supreme Court just for a few examples. Not a surprise to me! (Michael Cohen said he may even try & start a war to Remain in Power & he knows his former boss) & I believe the King in the White House will now (as a Last & Final Act) go to a foreign power such as Russia (big financial friend of the King, Family, other Republicans, etc.) & stop the November Election through his own private Defense Department (just changed with new wonderful people (goons) after Secretary of Defense Mark Esper was fired & I believe more people from strategic area’s will be on their way out) by now planning a Complete & Total Power Blackout of the USA including all Communication (internet, radio, TV, hacking of many online bank accounts, etc.) through Connections with his own private Defense Department & take it from there with COVID-19 running wild just what will happen to the USA. The King has already asked Russia for the emails of the old lady Clinton in the past, put a bounty on USA troops & most likely now will veto the current Defense Bill to fund the Military (for what ever reason), also take away the open skies treaty, discard observation USA planes and now put more goons in the Pentagon’s Defense Business Advisory Board just for starters & looking for more from the Justice Department also. Russia will promote the King in the White House from President to Dictator over the entire USA including the 30 USA billionaires who More than gladly support him (because the fools think they won’t be Taxed at all like he was, etc.) but Wrong – now with future Big Huge Massive Private Taxes to the King & the Family to pay off Huge Massive Debts & from other Republicans, etc. & also take control of Unbelievable Private Wealth you can be quite sure the 30 billionaires will be stopped (COVID-19 also) from leaving the USA. If the King does not get all the $ from his USA billionaires (for private wealth also) there will most likely be International Contracts (even by Russia) put on the King, the Family, other Republicans, etc. using the mob & others. The November Election will be no more except for Civil War & No more Aid (medical, transportation, etc.) to States going now into Bankruptcy. If this is not done, the King will be going to jail for most likely the rest of his life If he remains in the USA Outside of White House Power after the November Election is over with by past women who he did enjoy, obstruction of justice through the Mueller Report, City & State of New York Taxes, Debt, etc. The King Must Remain in White House Power but this time as their Dictator not President under a Totalitarianism regime supporting Civil War & I believe that the supposed over 70 million voters who did vote for the King in the White House will now support the King more than ever – Not the Constitution of the USA and some will be forced to also. Unfortunately I don’t believe Uncle Joe will be President when the law is saying he should be if Democracy fails due to Civil War, Economic Collapse (Wealthy only get more Wealthy, etc.) like it did in Greece, etc.
