Donald Trump has promised to pardon his White House staffers, reported the Wall Street Journal’s Josh Dawsey in an exclusive report on Friday.
Dawsey, the veteran DC reporter, cited “people who have heard his comments” in the bombshell report revealing that Trump is asking his staff to operate with a sense of impunity.
“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,” Trump reportedly told staffers “in a recent meeting to laughs.”
There is a pretty significant chance that Trump won’t keep his word.
And that’s if he doesn’t just die before he has a chance to.
Generally speaking, you want to pardon your Capos because you don’t want them ratting on you.
You say this as if trump thinks things through.
Hows that Iran situation going? Oh, he declaired absolute victory? How very odd, and also factually untrue.
He’s been at this racket for a long while.
Everyone on the inside is making a ton of money.
If they’re pardoned they can’t hide behind the fifth, especially if he issues the blanket pardons like he’s threatening.
Might make for some interesting TV. And you KNOW those dumbfucks would then somehow screw up their testimony, subjecting them to perjury charges…
They can if they don’t fear a contempt charge. Quite a few seem happy enough to entirely ignore subpoenas
Yeah but on the other hand, if they are pardoned then the 5th doesn’t apply to them and they can face charges for not answering questions.
