It is sad testimony that Trump's legal team have presented the argument that the President is above the law.
His attorney and PR man, Rudy Giuliani, stated that the President could assassinate the FBI Director in the Oval Office and get away with it.
That is how extreme and radical right-wing is this regime as a statement of absolute fact.
Where is the American Bar Association in this battle for democracy and rule of law?
Where are the freedom fighters in Congress?
You either stand for freedom or you capitulate and fall asunder to tyranny.
Where do you stand? In what do you believe? Do you think that tyranny is a joke, and not taken seriously?
George III was the last leader to lord over America with a declaration of absolute power. Citizens battled in Revolution to change that. Now, what are we to do with Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress who go along?
The path of legal resistance is in the hands of lawyers and the courts, and the nation can't wait for Congress because it is corrupted like the President.

ReplyDelete"Trump asserts 'absolute right' to pardon himself but suggests he has not done anything wrong
President Trump said on Twitter that he has an “absolute right” to pardon his own federal crimes while saying he has no reason to do so because he has not engaged in any wrongdoing.
“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?” Trump wrote.
His assessment echoed that of his lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, who offered an expansive view of the president’s executive powers during interviews Sunday, arguing that Trump probably has the ability to pardon himself."

GOP, Trump at odds on pardon power
ReplyDeleteRepublican lawmakers on Monday pushed back at President’s Trump’s claim that he has the power to pardon himself.
Trump’s assertion sparked a new round of Republican angst with the White House.
“It doesn’t make sense to me,” said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) when asked about Trump’s statements. “I certainly don’t think it would be a welcome strategy.” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told CNN, “If I were president of the United States and I had a lawyer that told me I could pardon myself, I think I would hire a new lawyer.”

Trump calls for readmitting Russia to G-7 four years after it was expelled for its role in Crimean crisis
President Trump said Russia should be readmitted to the Group of Seven leading economies, breaking with other world leaders who have insisted Moscow remain ostracized following its involvement in the 2014 Crimean crisis.
Trump's comments, made as he was departing to Canada for the annual G-7 summit, have the potential to further upend talks with other world leaders. U.S. officials believe Russia interfered in the 2016 election, and part of this year's G-7 summit was supposed to focus on protecting democracies from foreign meddling.
Trump has sought to improve relations between the United States and Russia since taking office. The U.S. government and other nations have imposed strict sanctions on Russia related to its involvement in Crimea, and those penalties remain in effect.
