U.S. Senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, warned President Donald Trump on Tuesday over a possible pardon for his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort.
“Any attempt by the President to pardon Mr. Manafort or interfere in the investigation into his campaign would be a gross abuse of power and require immediate action by Congress,” Warner said in a statement.

No, it says "Offenses against the United States" (Art. II, sec. 2), which means federal crimes only.
Ooooo he bad.
Has there been a verdict?
Is it a warning or a threat?
I’m sure President Trump is really scared!
Yep.
Seems like extortion to me. If we had an AG and not Sleepy sessions, that jackass would be facing criminal charges.
Mark Warner...trying to become the Adam Schiff of the Senate.
Can’t wait until after 2018 and we have some more Trump Senators and a more conservative House!
Love these WARNINGS don’t you?
>>>Any attempt by the President to pardon Mr. Manafort or interfere in the investigation into his campaign would be a gross abuse of power and require immediate action by Congress,”<<<
Sneaky guy, trying to link the Manafort Trial with the Russian Collusion Investigation which half of all Registered Democrats think is true.
Of course they have nothing to do with each other, the Manafort Trial dealing with things back to 2005, but why let Facts interfere with Leftist Democrat Wet Dreams.
Threatening Trump is actively courting danger. Stupid misguided senators should be seen and not heard .. especially with their head up their butts.. it muffles their sole message which is.. Impeach Trump!!
Marc Rich was unavailable for comment.
You are wrong; 99.9 percent of them would go to prison or be hanged.
That 1 percent that wouldn’t be convicted is that mythical congress critter that died 12 seconds after he/she got elected.
No apparent connection.
Manafort was prosecuted only because he worked for Trump. His prosecution was politically motivated & he is a political prisoner.
Totally selective justice is not justice.
Trump should do it just to piss in these liberals bowl of Fruit Loops. Warner and et al are all bark but no bite.
Oh no, even prior to conviction, even prior to indictment...consider Ford and Nixon.
“Bastards have been emboldened while our side at the hill cower in fear!”
I used to think they were on “our side”.....they are actually complicit with the left.
I volunteer to do a “gross abuse” of Warner’s face.
I think he may have already been pardoned. We learn in tomorrow’s tweets.
