Democrats alarmed by Trump��s promise of pardons to build border wall
The notion of any assurances has concerned congressional Democrats, who had been investigating potential obstruction of justice on President Trump��s part as the House continues to weigh whether to launch impeachment proceedings.

Hopefully , more than the dems are concerned about Donald's casual attitude for promising pardons should any laws be broken to achieve HIS wall objective.

He is overtly fostering illegal conduct..........with an arrogance that is pathological.

How can ANYONE support such obvious dysfunctional conduct??It is a disgrace to the office of the presidency......and the ..the country........

unless they act on his words, which is doubtful, nothing illegal here, he is just making Dems. react to keep them busy.
Actually, that's not correct. Generally, the law of conspiracy requires a "common plan" to commit a crime, and at least one affirmative act to advance the plan. Whether or not the act is legal is irrelevant.

Example: if you and three buddies make a plan to rob a bank, and you go out and buy four masks (in itself perfectly legal), you can be found guilty of conspiracy to rob a bank, even if you are caught before you do it, or just decide not to.

So. . . if the "aides" plan some illegal act to Bild Da Wol!, and Il Dope has advanced that plan by his assurance, he is liable.

Good. but one can just imagine what his lawyers will do withit.

Of all the "shocking" crap that has come from Donald....... promsing pardons for aides that might do something illegal for him.........is in a class of its own. He is making the whole presidency a sham......and a role that promotes full on abuse of power , disregard for the law.... and/ or humanity as a whole.He has disgraced it......and could c are less. His stupid wall is the symbol of HIS INHUMANITY....and cruelty. He has NO appreciation for what the job entails..........only what he is turning it into......while bringing out the very worst in the population...a segment that is just like him.

No, it's Il Dope saying he'll use his power as President to pardon any aide who commits a crime in pursuit of Bilding Da Wol!

Do try to understand the difference between the facts and you interpretation.

Trump cannot get any funding through normal channels

He is an incapable POTUS and would make a horrible dictator too. He is not a good leader to begin with. He has no leadership skills.He can't even keep a stable and content staff .

Did you ever watch the Apprentice ? It was all about firing the incompetents . He is just replacing deadwood . The swamp needs draining and it is a pleasure seeing someone trying to do so . It would be good if we could drain some swampland in Canada , starting in Ottawant and proceeding to provincial capitals and down into municipalities. The swamp is burying us in debt , and your grandchildren will be left holding the bag .Don’t you just love those grandchildren so much you are willing to spend their inheritance?
