During his visit to the border in Calexico, California last week, President Trump told the then-head of Customs and Border Patrol, Kevin McAleenan, who is now the acting head of the Department of Homeland Security, that he would pardon him if he were jailed for violating immigration law, CNN reported Friday.
According to officials briefed on the conversation, Trump told McAleenan he would “pardon him if he ever went to jail for denying U.S. entry to migrants,” one of the officials said. It was unclear if the exchange was a joke, CNN reported.
The road to tyranny will be paved by “jokes” about prospective impeachable offenses that turn out not to be jokes.
It’s a clear abuse of power. We know Trump’s pattern. No matter what the issue is, he will always direct people to violate laws and commit crimes of concealment.
This period is the right time to impeach Trump. It takes only about 6 weeks or so to do it, and Dems can get it done well before the first presidential primary and set things up to destroy Trump and the GOP. The people want accountability. The Democrats should use the power that we gave to them and impeach the motherf***er. He’s weak.
Yes trump is actinging like he is totally free of any and all laws. Time to nip this now
PP is trying to get a pile of people to pardon at once to conceal the fact that he is pardoning someone in particular. He’s got pardon on the mind. I’m guessing Stone.
The absolute worst of this piece is the word “joke”.
