Lololololololol

What about when a President pardons anyone during a trial? Is that interference? That reasoning is stupid.

It also likely isn't legal, but, that would take a Supreme Court decision, too


Jonathan Turley and the text of the Constitution disagree.

Clearly.

Again, Trump interfering with a legal prosecution against him is going to be very costly for him, politically.

Assuming it's legal and possible, that doesn't remove Trump from the potential political consequences (impeachment and possibly removal).

I don't see what is stupid about understanding people are going to be pissed and a LOT of GOP moderates have to run again 2 years after 2024.

Even if the DEMs couldn't use that threat to flip the GOP, they can flip the Senate bigly in 2026 if the public is also outrages (which I think enough may be).
