@tedlieu
Dear @realDonaldTrump: Dude, you can't tell a federal employees to violate the law and then say you will issue a pardon. That's the kind of stuff that can get you impeached.
Also, why are you trying to eliminate pre-existing conditions health care coverage?

BREAKING: Pres. Trump told the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, Kevin McAleenan, that if he were sent to jail as a result of blocking migrants from entering the US, the President would grant him a pardon, sr. admin officials tell @jaketapper.

It seems to me he's aiding and abetting crimes when he makes these comments.

(6,259 posts)So, all you have to do is commit a crime in the name of Lord Trump and he will pardon you?
Wow! It would be interesting to see how many republicans in congress are OK with that one.
And where would it stop? Killing Trumps enemies gets you a pardon?
I surly hope the Republicans of this nation wake up.

(7,404 posts)The red wall in the Senate says otherwise. America's national government is dysfunctional and there is little to suggest that will change any time soon - and that includes following the 2020 election. Big money government by oligarchy says otherwise.
