Trump Jr. knows his father has the pardon pen. He’s trying to take one for the old Pop.
In all honesty who hasn’t felt at some point in their lives that they labored for something only to have it given away to/by someone else right before them. He’s actually taking this impressively well…lol.
And what a statement. Fredo indeed.
Just wait until Manafort confirms that Trump Sr. was told all this both in advance and after the meeting. This poor reporter’s head might explode.
… and so we pull within striking distance of the last, desperate, pathetic line of defense:
Crooked Hillary was the real criminal, and whatever it took to beat her can’t be treason because it was good for the country.
Coming soon to a courtroom near you.
I really don’t think there’s a plan beyond “oh shit the NYT is about to publish this, well I’ll publish it first”.
Yep. Stupidly, I’m sure Junior thinks that if he goes diwn, folks will call it closed…
As if the media will say…
“oh, we got Donald Trump (Junior), that’s it, thats the collusion we were looking for, no need to look further”
I mean Fox will say this but that’s it.
And it’s only the beginning. folks. That’s the best part of it.
Right now, today, more than ever, Greaseball’s father knows he’s completely fucked. The game is ending.
I was going to say the shit is finally hitting the fan, but I now think an enormous pile of feces has buried the whole ventilation system.
The only pardon he can’t issue is one for treason.
EDIT: It has been pointed out to me by @dnl that Governors may not pardon treason after the fact. My memory is in error.
I feel for ya, Jared. But you knew this could happen. Blurting out self-incriminating stuff is a family trait.
Hate to quibble but that is hardly the “last” line of defense.
Replace “Hillary Clinton” With any generic democrat and tjat is simply their M.O.
This sounds like an Internet Fact with no basis in, like, actual fact.
Just wait until Daddy cracks. There are any number of ways he can incriminate himself. He’s probably so desperate to tweet right now his tiny hand is trembling.
“The end justifies the means.”
Kind of ironic that, in the end, Republicans all turned out to be Trotskyites.
…something the Sessions Justice department would never allow to be persued.
He’ll plead to a violation of an obscurely names statute that few in Trumps fanbase will understand
Poor Greaseball
Sad Weasel
If convicted, treason cannot be pardoned by the president…

Interesting FTL:
"However, a pardoned person is not exonerated from the civil liability that a crime may have incurred."
HRC, take them for everything.
