Does Trump Plan To Pardon His Cronies? His Family Members? Himself?
The news in the past couple of days has brought stories about whether Donald Trump is already planning pardons for members of his family and even for himself. Today Sarah Sanders was even asked about whether he was planning these pardons at a press conference, which I found utterly astonishing. I mean, pardons are only given to the guilty. If the president was contemplating them, he was admitting that he was considering, and considering seriously, that he and members of his family might be guilty of crimes. This is not normal behavior.
Tonight I saw this article in the on-line version of, "The New York Times". It explains that presidential pardons made for corrupt purposes and to obstruct justice might be a crime. Who would have thought that The United States would have been dragged this low?
