I wondered about this, too. Trump used the word "illegal" twice today while ranting about the investigation:

As Kristol said, this might just be venting...but Trump could be winding himself and his base up so he can get rid of Mueller on this pretext.

Do it, chicken shit.

(23,946 posts)framework, if that is even possible now, to issue pardons when one has pled guilty, and not a Twitter screed.
His "groundwork" is for his confused base...he must sense it from his not as good as last year CPAC reception. And the exposure of his great Florida and Penn. rallies in the campaign as being the product of Russian spies and not his own magnetism must be a great wound to his ego.

(297,269 posts)it's FAKE news to get them brainwashed so they'll understand if he tries to fire Mueller and pardon anyone.
Surely he's heard that much from his weasely treasonous son-in-law and john Kelly.

That doesn't change Flynn
it doesn't change Papadopolous
it doesn't change Gates
it doesn't change any of these OTHER people that are indicted or already plead guilty.
