There is no limit as to the power of the President when it comes to Pardoning Powers. That is Constitution 101 stuff.

Agreed, as far as Federal jurisdiction is concerned.

But if campaign employees violated New York laws (for example), then the POTUS’s pardon power would not come into play.

Actually there are limits.

At this point, I almost wish they would try something so we can wipe them all out.

The President’s power to pardon is absolute. The constitution places no check on it.

Sorry, but the president can pardon anyone he jolly well pleases.


AGREED - but watch the RINOs like McStain, Flake, and Linda try and pass an UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW limiting THIS unconventional President - Bubba or Obie not so much as a peep.

The limit is that it must be a federal offense

That's right!!!

Mueller needs to be fired by Sessions.

Someone besides our POTUS needs to light a match under Sessions posterior to get some action or Sessions needs to be replaced or needs to be fired!!!

Mueller is such a joke and hopefully, he gets indicted for his actions on selling 25% or 20% of our Uranium assests to the Russians!

Our Astros won last night so I am still not so P.O.ed yet.

Good Lord, even I can see the total corruption of the FBI!!!
