Today, our president, Donald Trump, tweeted that he thought he could pardon himself. "As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong? In the meantime, the never ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms!"
He thought that in the event that he were tried and convicted of a federal crime, that he could simply say, "No biggie. On behalf of the American people, I hereby pardon myself."
I can't even. That logic is unimpeachable, sir. You win. 22 weeks from now, on midterm election day, we'll see if what you win is a landslide for the opposition.
[Update: the opposition "won back" the house but not the senate.]
