Predicting a historic presidential move, based solely on a retweet: really Alisyn?
On CNN's New Day on Thursday morning, co-host Alisyn Camerota, referencing President Trump's retweet of Rep. Matt Gaetz's tweet suggesting that the president pardon himself, said:
"It seems clear this is going to happen."
"Clear?" Camerota offered no evidence beyond the retweet in support of her bold assertion.

“I think the president can only pardon a specific charged crime”
IIRC Ford’s pardon of Nixon was unconditional.
He damn sure should pardon himself for any charges that might arise against him for past conduct. If it is legally possible, regardless of how outrageous of an act the Dems think it may be they could never hate him anymore than they already do. So in a way he has a free pass and a free ride for the next couple months. He should have some of THEM arrested even if they get off just to make their lives miserable. He should also bomb the nuclear facility at Natanz in Iran to smithereens. With a nuke. Ok, a tactical nuke, but a nuke nonetheless. That may push the Dems over the edge they are already teetering on.
If you jugheads would educate yourself instead of saying what someone told you to say or you copied what someone else said ...you’d be smart once in your life!
you do not know how infantile and copycat you are! you grow with your ignorance because you do not know of which you speak... just what you hear from more idiots on your side.
you think because you might have a college degree in something and maybe you have a job... that you are something special on the line of smarts.... think again.... you are dumb on everything else... you do know how to insult .... but there are no degrees for that.. otherwise. just dumb.. and you do not know how much!
I don’t know, but the left is being extremely innovative in finding ways to destroy people with the legal system, so I think he’s more than justified in doing it regardless.
Here’s the transcript.

ALISYN CAMEROTA: He re-tweeted a suggestion from Congressman Matt Gaetz last night that he pardon himself. It seems clear this is going to happen.
. . .
ASTEAD HERNDON: We also know that this is a president that has not made any deference, and at every turn flouted kind the kind of presidential norms around pardons, and just basically around the office in general.
So I don’t think that that’s something that’s going to sway him: the idea that that is not something that presidents have done before, and that is not something that has usually been seen as their role. But we are in a stage now where, as a kind of a, you know, Trump Unchained in this last couple months.
ELIE HONIG: You theoretically can issue a blanket pardon, but only looking backwards. In other words, you cannot say, this person, or I, am pardoned for anything I might do in the future. But the president could try to issue himself a pardon saying, I’m covered for anything I’ve ever done up until this moment.
If he does that, it will be a historic moment, in the bad sense. It will be a permanent mark on his history. And it will be very legally debatable whether it’s even constitutionally valid to pardon yourself. I think the stronger argument, actually, is that that would be invalid. But if anyone’s ever going to try it, this is the president.

Well, I think MountainWalker in post 13 is correct.
Orange hair is illegal.
My opinion of Alisyn’s pov is unprintable.
Pardon himself for what?
I think I read a rumor somewhere last week, that they may be poised to sell the network.
I guess with Fox also selling out, the liberal media is maybe going to start getting pretty catty.

Lefties say there’s an indictment waiting with southern district of NY...
Pardon? For what crime?
Not correct..but as far as I know not challenged at SCOTUS
See Nixon’s pardon.
Heard the same.
The financial guru, Kennard, that held Dominion will be heading up ATT — Bloomberg
btw, Trump could also do what Carter did. Broad Amnesty
The TrollMaster has them all atwitter.
Doesn’t it make sense, then, that every president would do it?
