Legal scholars tell us that a president can literally pardon anything that has run afoul of federal law. But Congress can always impeach and convict an errant president, and then indict the resulting private individual. Besides, a basic facet of law does not recognize anyone sitting as judge and jury on his own case.

"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy...and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."
At first glance, I'd say yes. I can't see any other way to read that.

The minute his impeachment trial begins, I'm pretty sure Trump cannot pardon himself. But Pence could once he takes his rightful seat at the throne.
Posted by: jon smith | 04 June 2018 at 05:35 PM
“So Todd Trump can murder a child and pardon himself and face no criminal proceedings and you're ok with that.”
Is that a statement or a question? Either way, Paul, that is a dark sentence, a very dark speech..
Didn’t one of our VPs shoot somebody in the growing pains of our nation? It wasn’t murder, it was mutual combat.
And the town crier waved his lantern and the went through the streets that night calling out, “Murder, Murder on Pennysvalia Avenue. Murder, Murder.. Murder in the White House.”.

Not just murder, but murder of a child.p, eh. Nothing like taking it to the limit Is that like Armageddon or what? Pardoning herself for murder was a big plus My Gal was looking forward to. Alas, it was not to be.
Child murder. Is that before or after Trump does the nasty on the youngster?
I can see why somebody’s mind went straight to THERE. Makes sense. Since the pagan Druids had to sacrifice a Virgin, the only undefied females around were kids under 5. Mercy. That’s some glucked up stuff. Child murder? Child murder? Only a sicko would go there.

The impeachment is done by the House, the prosecution by 2/3 of the Senate. Until the moment he is successfully prosecuted he remains the President. Ask Andrew Johnson.
And Pence could then pardon him as did Ford for Nixon. Maybe not smart politically but still legal.

Before, I think. A White House BBQ will follow.
Keep in the mind that the child is crippled, blind, and a POC. Trump is an old guy so it's harder for him to chase down his prey and thus slower ones are needed.
Amy Goodman will run with the story. It'll turn out that the child was an undocumented citizen and honors student. The crack KVMR news crew will host a call-in show discussing the Trump Crimes and the dangers of 5G technology.
Paul and George Boardman will share a Pulitzer for their story, "TRUMP CHILD MURDER. EVIL? OR WILL IT HELP THE CROPS GROW?"

From your interpretation of the Constitution could Trump pardon himself of all potential federal crimes before facing impeachment which could remove him from office but leave him immune from any criminal prosecution?

We are not calling these groups homeless; it does a disservice to the people who are really homeless that need services, that don’t want to be homeless. A lot of people, we understand, have fallen on hard times-- we want to get those people services,” Pierce County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Ed Troyer said.
They were offered services. We even offered them jobs with labor people for a few months,” Troyer said.
He added that all their offers were rejected, including money to help clean up their own mess.

This is what happens when the Dems run the show. Who do they legislate for? The wealthy! Who do they try to destroy with high gasoline prices and taxes? The poor!
Don't forget to add 20K to the price of your new home! That will surely help the poor working class. But we must pass new laws to aid the wealthy. Gee - I could have sworn the Dems claimed that the Trump tax law helped the wealthy. Now the Dems in Cali are trying to reduce the increase in fed taxes on the wealthy. I realize we shouldn't discuss this until Paul Emery gives us the go-ahead, but dang - I'm kinda confused by Trump giving tax breaks to the wealthy but the Dems in Cali want to help the wealthy by protecting them from the tax breaks that Trump gave them? Maybe one of them smarty pants lefties can chime in here.

The enlightened. tolerant, and superior Leftists, led my our own jon smith, called the beautiful, classy, and gracious First Lady a “whore”. Liberal idol Rosie called the First Lady’s ten year old son a retard, obliviously autistic. The President’s daughter was called the C word and then the one who said that was honored and admired, awarding her at the TV Academy Awards two days later.....at an event where our civil liberty betters barred the press. They saved the best for the President.
My, my. they are certainly the mentors that will lead us out of darkness and into the sunshine, right? They are the right thinkers, no?
“May’s jobs report shows that strong employment numbers mean little to the families hit with soaring new costs under the Republicans’ watch,” asserts Nancy Pelosi. “There’s no question today’s job report is good news, including the news that we’re as closest we’ve ever been to full employment in the black community. But what’s full employment without full respect?” asks CNN anchor Don Lemon.

Thanks for the tax article, it's absolutely hilarious to watch the machinations.
Imagine the results of a websearch on the hue and cry for raising taxes on the rich over the years. Trump does it, and the first thing that happens is that highly unequal states (Blue States, natürlich) jump in to save the day for the folks that actually run the show.
I wonder how long it'll be until the California wealthy are hopping around in helicopters to avoid the favelas. They'll probably drop in once in a while to get a bit of ethnic food from that really good restaurant down in the barrio 'cuz the owner really likes them.
The real net results from running a single-party social democracy, especially in a diverse polity, are breathtakingly obvious. The only smart moves are to stay rich or to stay away.

That was a good editorial that you linked to, but I'll have to disagree with it in one area.
One point the writer made was that it's 'the fringes' who are the most ugly acting. Maybe it's hard to avoid the attractiveness of the standard curve as a way to build a taxonomy.
I keep some track of that, and would have to say that neither the real deal alt-right or the long term socialists or communists act in a particularly impolite fashion. The most hardcore of the former mostly pushes for ethnostates (formerly called 'nations') with high functioning citizens, classical education, fitness, traditional gender roles, etc. The most hardcore of the latter calls for what they always have, but aren't particularly impolite about it if you check out their websites and writings.
I'd say what you are seeing is more a radicalization of the middle. It's a lot easier to call the First Daughter a cunt than it is to have political thoughts of any depth. It isn't like the chattering classes of the Left are thinkers of any note and the angry old white men are just using the internet as a form of local tavern for venting purposes.

Oh Linda.....the price is set at the margins and an overall increase in worldwide supply should have a suppressive effect on price!
You might want to consider instead why we have 23 different flavors of gas across the nation depending on the season and also remember that Governor Senile (D- CA) rammed new gas taxes through and their effects are just now manifesting themselves!

Oh Todd. The lines are shorter and waiting times much quicker in the men’s bathrooms. When the females got to go like really bad, they become opportunists. The only thing I don’t like about women in the guy’s restrooms is that they take way too much time to take care of business, not to mention hogging up the few stalls. Those stalls are for pooping, not for peeing, duh. And they use way too much toilet paper. Whatz up with dat?
But, the larger point you make perplexes me. I thought men could go in the little girl’s rooms. In fact, isn’t that why CA and other liberal states boycott North Carolina because of that horrid “sex you were born with” ass backwards sexists bathroom laws??? Best check your information.
The Left is the protector of all women and that is why they advocate for (and force) male pervs, Peeping Toms, pedophiles, and the gender confused with testicles into the Ladies Room. Oh, maybe the conservatives are right. Maybe we call it the “Left’s War on Women” for a good reason.
Bottomline: As long as you are pro-choice, then that’s all matters, right?
“Hey little girl, want some candy?” Yep, the Left’s War on Women is appropriate.
