The latest wave of media attention to hit President Trump came from a revelation from Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani said that Trump had the power to pardon himself, a statement some found startling.
To make the situation even more horrific was the statement that if Trump had shot James Comey, it would change nothing regarding an indictment. He said that he would have to be impeached instead.
In a Country that boasts democracy and claimed transparency that was mind boggling. It also caused ripples through the GOP community, who thought the idea was out of bounds.
Trump’s lawyer said that it may be difficult but it wasn’t impossible, however many would disagree with such a claim.
Subpoena Claim
Giuliani spoke to various media agencies about the matter and seemed adamant that Trump could do as he pleased.
“In no case can he be subpoenaed or indicted, “he said. “I don’t know how you can indict while he’s in office. No matter what it is.”
“If he shot James Comey, he’d be impeached the next day,” Giuliani said. “Impeach him, and then you can do whatever you want to do to him.”
Norm Eisen, the White House ethics lawyer under President Barack Obama tought that idea was absurd.
“A President could not be prosecuted for murder? Really?” Eisen asked. “It is one of many absurd positions that follow from their argument. It is self-evidently wrong.”
