As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong? In the meantime, the never ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms!

The appointment of the Special Counsel is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Despite that, we play the game because I, unlike the Democrats, have done nothing wrong!

I am sure that the investigation is constitutional, and that Trump cannot pardon himself, but he will undoubtedly argue that the fruit of an unconstitutional investigation cannot be used against him in an impeachment proceeding, et cetera, et cetera …
Trump will attempt to remain in office if he is impeached and convicted, summoning his loonies to rally to the White House and prevent a coup; we are headed toward an epochal constitutional confrontation.
