Amid relentless scrutiny over possible ties between his presidential campaign and Russia, an extraordinary suggestion has emerged - that Donald Trump could pardon himself or his family.

US President Donald Trump has insisted he has the "complete power" to pardon people, amid reports he is considering presidential pardons for family members, aides and even himself.
A Democratic Party spokesman has called the reports "extremely disturbing".
The US authorities are probing possible collusion between the Trump team and Russia. Intelligence agencies think Russia tried to help Mr Trump to power.
Russia denies this, and the president says there was no collusion.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that Mr Trump and his team were looking at ways to pardon people close to him.

Notice how Texalon doesnt respond?
Hes purposefully ill informed. He will ignore ALL contrary evidence and continue to spew his lies in the hopes that he can help sway opinion. Cause repeating lies over and over again will get the sheeple lined up behind you.

Exactly! This is what I've been saying here an in related threads. We've all actually seen and heard the heads of these agencies say as much on fucking camera, yet the trolls keep rolling out there "nothing to see here but a bunch of leaks" bullshit in lock step with Trump's Twitter feed, and doing so in excruciating detail as if all sorts of research went into it. For Holy fucks sake...as if we're all drinking their fucking kool aide. This is fucking SN, not Breibart, though a really really noisy troll minority is making it very hard to tell.
