Innocent Or Not?
What then could be the purpose of signing off on so many pardons if it didn’t mean innocence?
If the President pardoned himself could that be seen as in the same light as White House guidelines?
If pardoning didn’t mean innocence what would that say about the President pardoning himself?
Nevertheless the claim by Trump had raised many eyebrows. It said that the possibility of Trump pardoning himself was very low.
“No one is above the law,” Paul Ryan said. He spoke to reporters who wanted his view on the claim from the President.
Trump’s lawyer said the President had done nothing wrong so he won’t pardon himself.
He also said Mueller had “13 highly partisan Democrats … (who) are trying very very hard to frame him to get him in trouble when he hasn’t done anything wrong.”
