Discussion: Scaramucci Says He And Trump Talked About Pardons In Oval Office Meeting

Trump and his buddies don’t know this, but his lawyers do.

There are substantial differences between legislative immunity and a pardon; the latter carries an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it…

“There’s nobody around him that has to be pardoned. He was just making the statement about the power of pardon,” Scaramucci added. “And now all of the speculation and all the spin is, oh, he’s going to pardon himself.”

“That crumpled mass of lead over there on the ground wasn’t a trial balloon and any suggestion that it was is Fake News. However, make no mistake about it, the President does have the power to make a balloon made of solid lead float in the air if he wanted to.”

Trump:

This administration is running like a fine-tuned machine.

For about five minutes. Then he poured sugar into the gas tank.

Scaramucci is a breath of fresh air from Spicer… Bwaaaahahahahahaha!

I think Sean Spicer, in all of his pathetic bumblingness (not a word but apt), seemed about 1000 times more honest, god help us. I though Don Jr had the face you want to punch most. Mooch here might just win that title.

As it relates to any possible pardons. I’m just waiting for him, Sekulow, Sanders or whoever to reference this Pitino quote,

and then I can die happy.

Word is that Comrade Cockholster originally wanted “that ShamWow! Guy” for White House Comms Director. But since Vince Shlomi was dead he had to settle for second best.

I think only the Mythbusters have that power.

All I need is the “it was just Oval Office talk” square for a bingo.

He’s a hanger on.

He was formerly a Walker supporter and when that didn’t pan out, he went to ‘cheerleading’ for JEB.

I disagree. Jr. still has the face you want too punch the most, with evil elf Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III a c;lose second. Mooch is running third.

The very best part of this is that if Mooch does get his legs under him and charms the press into submission, Trump will fire him for out-shining his Sun King.

Though he was bitten by those zombies, communications is what Spicer does for a living. Not sure if bilking grannies is the same, as trying to get April Ryan to stop shaking her head, but folks are about to find out.

Awww, who would want to punch a cute little elf?

And I think we are all forgetting the smarmy smile of Ted Cruz…

From his first TV appearances, I’d say he has the filibuster response down cold. An annoying habit in all cases, but since his filibusters mostly contain embarrassingly fulsome praise of his love object – note exact use of that often misused adjective! – as well as garden-variety lies, I’m sick of the sleazy little fucker already.

I can’t wait to see what SNL does with this joker.
