Has anyone else we have moved from "no collusion" to "you cannot charge the President" and "The President can pardon himself".
This is ridiculous. Let's just say the Mueller investigation comes back and says we believe Trump is guilty of obstruction of justice. Great - They move to impeach him, and before he is removed form office Trump pardons himself. A week later the Mueller investigation comes forward and says "During the course of our investigation we also discovered sixteen other, unrelated crimes" - perhaps something about finances. At that point, he is no longer President, he can be subpoena, he can be required to testify under oath, he can be charged, AND he can be sentenced and imprisoned.
Of course, just imagine if he did pardon himself. The GOP would drop him like a hot potato radioactive. I'm not talking about Republicans in general, but instead I'm talking about the rank and file Republican Congressmen and Congresswomen. There is no way Congress would stand for this.
I'm sorry, Trump is guilty as sin. The proper thing to do would have been to say "Yes, I will sit down and testify under oath" without any rules. This is what Clinton did when he was under investigation. But of course Trump cannot do this....
