That should be the only impeachable offense required.

You are correct. Upon further thought, they must’ve said “to cover up his crimes” or some such.
They were arguing that without such a caveat he would essentially be completely above the law, a monarch. Of course, they also never speculated on whether SCOTUS would reach the same conclusion. And who can blame them?

My voice is so bad I clear out PEWS at Church; so I ‘should’ have sympathy for KAC, but guess what, I don’t.
I don’t sing in public because I CLEAR OUT PEWS AT CHURCH.

Give the cowmen and farmers something they both can agree on and watch them become friends.
One thing is for sure, Trump has not being able to stop the leaks from coming out of the White House… imagine the torrent of information arriving at a daily basis to the desks of the Russian and Chinese intelligent services…

There is a solid legal argument that the pardon power does not include the power to pardon yourself. That argument has never been tested, of course, but basically it invokes the common law principle that no man is above the law and injects that into the scope of the pardon power. I don’t find it terribly persuasive myself, but I would not mind seeing it tested on Drumpf if he tries a self-pardon on the way out the door.

I too would like to see it tested, if for no other reason to see if all the lip service about “no man is above the law” is actually true.
Thankfully, he’ll still be subject to state law. Moreover, his (and his family’s) chances of being pardoned by any governor of any state that goes after him hover right around zero to none.

I look forward to her rendition of “You Light Up My Life” backed up by Barr on bagpipes, at his big DC party.

Indeed, let’s see if Fox Stürmer carries “The Sychopant’s Ball” live.
Yeah, with the current SCOTUS we can rest assured Trump would be stymied.

I was thinking more along the lines of “The Devil Went Down To Georgia,” just to hear about someone’s desire to win golden bagpipes.

I suspect a central (but unspoken) tenet of John Roberts’ jurisprudence is that certain people are very definitely above the law. See McDonnell v. United States (2016).

You know of course he’s taking the FEMA money to penalize the people of Puerto Rico and California in walk of their governments being critical of the admins management of the the funds…and them using the most…
The fact that he’s willing to put at risk MILLIONS of people for political gain is seriously FUCKED UP…

It’s a conspiracy to defraud the government and obstruct justice in violation of 18 USC 371 .
It’s also another impeachable offense.
