Some people have become very skeptical of what certain media outlets have to say about Trump. Especially when it's presented as a tip from an anonymous source. More often than not it's nonsense.
Supposing he does pardon himself, what would your opinion be?
My opinion would be based on what the circumstances were.
I can understand him asking a question like that though, since they seem so desperate to dig up or come up with anything they can nail him with.
But if he's not guilty of anything, what has he to be afraid of?
Ask all the people who have been wrongfully convicted for something they weren't guilty of. Especially the ones who had investigators and prosecutors who were determined to pin something on them. I know I'd be nervous if I was being investigated for something I didn't do and seeking legal counsel and finding out what my options were just in case.
http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com ... -the-math/We're not talking about a poor black kid who's unable to afford a lawyer being railroaded, but the most powerful man in the world. Trump is hardly powerless before the forces of law enforcement, and yet you people on the right describe him as if he was.
You people on the right, even though I chose Sanders and I'm what they would call a commie.
Most anyone in the type of situation Tump is in, would want to explore what possible recourse is available even if they're innocent.
Even Richard Nixon never entertained the idea of pardoning himself, and he was guiltier than hell.
Were people as desperate for Nixon to be guilty of something from day one as they have been for Trump? Were they talking about impeaching Nixon before he even became president? It's really not the same situation at all.
Not to mention all the years Nixon spent as a politician, including four years as vice president and another four years as potus. Yet Trump is supposed to be like Nixon in how he reponds to things.
Also I wonder why it seems Clinton who actually was impeached is never brought up. Is it because Clinton is a democrat and Hillary's husband? Probably.
Unlike Trump Nixon hated social situations and crowds. Nixon did not have close to the self confidence Trump has. Nixon unlike Trump was "book smart". Nixon was an adult.
The entire left did not want to impeach Nixon from day one but a lot of the left hated him personally. Eggs and debris were thrown at his car during his inauguration parade. The mutual loathing between him the mainstream media is similar to Trump's but Trump is more outgoing about it. Nixon let others criticize the press especially his vice president. Nixon's Attorney General famously called the owner of the Washington Post and told her she was going to "get her big fat tit caught in a wringer" if they published a Watergate story. He had the IRS audit hostile media and the FDA review thier licences. Trump is investiging the investigators.
