  1. What the President DOES have the power to do is to absolutely control the news media narrative, day in and day out. Every day the President wakes up and decides what the media will talk about today. THAT is power! The media are like little kittens running into walls chasing the red laser pointer the President leads them around with. Too funny.

  2. Evidence strongly suggests otherwise. McCabe has asked for immunity.

  5. Ampersandrascott....To answer your questions 1. There IS NO constitutional limit on the President's power to pardon, except in the case of impeachment. The President cannot pardon himself from articles of impeachment. Impeachment is a political action, NOT a crime. Read Article II, section 2., which states that the President "shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment" There IS NO admonition against the President pardoning himself for crimes. The pardon power does NOT apply to state crimes, only crimes against the United States. Murder is usually NOT a "crime against the United States" unless it occurs on federal property or against a federal employee or by acts of terror, hijacking, etc. 2. Nixon was never charged with a crime. Nixon was never impeached. 3. There is no crime for which President Trump has been charged, and he IS NOT "pardoning himself". This was, and is, a hypothetical question.

  6. I didn't acknowledge anything. I cut a pasted a portion of the Constitution. The President's authority comes from Article II of the constitution. You can actually read the Constitution for yourself. It is not a secret document. The President (Chief Executive of the Executive Branch) is a separate and equal branch of government from the Congress (Article I). Please, do not bother me with your ignorance again. I do not exchange ideas with idiots. You didn't even know Nixon was never charged with a crime. Idiot!
