Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace asked Scaramucci why Trump tweeted about his complete power to pardon last week if no crimes had been committed.
Why even talk about pardons? Wallace wondered.
This is one of those things about Washington, the convolution and the nature of things, Scaramucci explained. Im in the Oval Office with the president last week and we were talking about that, he says he brought that up, but he doesnt have to be pardoned, theres nobody around him that has to be pardoned. He was just making the statement about the power of the pardon.
Now, all of the speculation and all of the spin is hes going to pardon himself, he added. The president does not need to pardon himself. And the reason he doesnt need to pardon himself is he hasnt done anything wrong.

(65,290 posts)at the start of his campaign has so completely gone over to his side. What can Trump offer him that he doesn't already have?
I would say that this is what he gets out of the deal: Im in the Oval Office with the president. . . . "
He gets to announce to the world that he's da man, someone so important and influential that he can say, Im in the Oval Office with the president," as a throwaway line.
When you get right down to it, humans are just jumped up chimpanzees, and this sort of status posturing is very chimp, as are Two Scoops' own continual dominance displays.
