Trump Could Pardon Everyone Involved In Collusion. GOP Would Do Nothing.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Trump has the power to pardon anyone and everyone involved in Russia scandal who broke the law before the fact. And you can be sure that the DOJ and GOP would just look the other way. He could also fire Mueller as well. Things are that broken.

And the GOP can ignore the public and do whatever it wants. Just look at how they are ignoring citizens on their health care destruction. And wait and see Medicare and Social Security will be next. We have rogues and renegades in charge now.

1. Couldn't get away with that.....the furor would be hellatious.....beyond extreme....

If the GOP ignores the furor (in reality, they won't, except for those involved with the Russia mess), there will be a general strike. The people will not take it. The reaction would make the Vietnam demonstrations look like child's play, and I say that having witnessed those events in the late 60's and early 70's.

Traditional GOP members have a long standing enmity with Russia, and there is only so much the traditional GOP Russia haters can take before folding (again, referring to those not involved with Russia transgressions). The truth is that right now, they are very close to openly turning on Trump. Someone on MSNBC just said that Lindsay Graham made some type of remark, I wasn't listening carefully, so I'm not sure of the exact words used, but the gist I got out of it was to the effect that Firing Mueller would be beyond tolerable.

2. We've Lived to See the Day When Republicans Get in Bed with Former Communists to Win an Election

Who could have ever imagined this -- what appears to be the entire leadership of the Republican Party getting into bed with a hostile foreign power, and former communists to win an election? That Republicans would knowingly and willingly blow up our free and fair elections, the foundation of our democracy is beyond despicable. Ronald Reagan must be rolling over in his grave.

3. Actually, he cannot pardon them.

Because he is one of the co-conspirators.
Same issue came up with Nixon, about him pardoning the Watergate guys, but it was determined to be illegal.

presidency. I wonder if pence would do that or let trump rot.
