    He can hold him in contempt. Though a corrupt AG will not prosecute him criminally. But the next AG could.

    Sure. Since you say it would help you.

    "The President...shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."
    ARTICLE II, SECTION 2, CLAUSE 1​

    See how it's better to ask for help, like you did here, rather than to make wild claims as you have done elsewhere?

    Yeah so, I'm guessing you didn't see some of the questions they asked him such as "are you the hitman, the bagman or the lookout or all of the above". How the **** do you think you're going to get responded to when you have a kangaroo court on an international broadcast?

    That means he can't say "they impeached you and found you guilty but its cool you can still hold office" not that he cannot pardon someone jammed up for say lying to congress or something like that.
    The only offense he cannot pardon that is federal is a charge of impeachment.

    Are you talking about checks like this one?

    Wasn't William Jefferson the guy who kept bribe money in the freezer?

    Why are we talking about him in a thread about Trump? Looks like you're avoiding the real subject, aren't you?

    I can understand why: you have no way of defending Mr. Sharpie. So changing the subject is your only hope.

    Didn't something very similar happen already? I think the Democrats already established that it is ok to let the president off if he is from your party.

    What the f... hell? There is so much nonsense in the above paragraph that... There is no such thing as "a charge of impeachment"

    Actually... you should look up what "impeachment" means.

    Impeachment means you've been charged by the house and you'll be going to the senate for a trial on the merits. If convicted you lose office.
    He can't pardon that.

    He CAN pardon perjury from someone not on the horns for impeachment for example: Let's say someone lies to congress when they're called as a witness. Let's go with Lewandowski. Let's say he bold faced lied and they prove it and he goes down for perjury.
    Once the conviction is final, Trump can then pardon him because he's not pardoning Lewandowski regarding an impeachment matter of Lewandowski.

    How about naming the most serious one? The one that could lead to actual criminal charges?

    I said Nadler can bluster and bray. But no AG is going to criminally prosecute Lewandowski for contempt of congress.


    Do you actually believe congress would even think about impeaching Lewandowski???? Really?????​

    Not that one, the other one, and you brought him up.

    Newsflash. Paying big bucks to settle a criminal court case to avoid a conviction on sexual assault is a billion miles away from signing a perfectly legal and common non-disclosure agreement.

    Fat Jerry would have no more luck forcing Justice Kav to testify than he would attempting to force Trump or Pence to.

    Hollywood Ignores Avalanche of Pro-Kavanaugh Facts.

    But don’t worry, NYT. Even CBS is busting you for journalistic malfeasance, but the “fact-checking” hacks at Politifact are still swinging in your defense: No, the New York Times has not admitted to peddling ‘fake news’ about most recent Kavanaugh claim. See, they’ve just admitted to things that make it clear that the story was fake news, they haven’t admitted to the story being fake news. So there.

    The New York Times’s travesty of journalistic ethics.

    Certainly no Republican sycophant AG who thinks he is Dirty Donnie's personal defense attorney would prosecute.

    Lewindowski is not subject to impeachment any more than I am. He is a private citizen.

    Did anyone notice Lewandowski admitted to lying to the media when he denied any recollection of being asked to pass a message to the antebellum lawn jockey known as Jeff?

    Not sure I understand your question. That's not what "impeachment" means.
