Donald Trump has promised to pardon his White House staffers, reported the Wall Street Journal’s Josh Dawsey in an exclusive report on Friday.
Dawsey, the veteran DC reporter, cited “people who have heard his comments” in the bombshell report revealing that Trump is asking his staff to operate with a sense of impunity.
“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,” Trump reportedly told staffers “in a recent meeting to laughs.”
If impeachment goes to trial in the Senate and it looks like it might not go well for him, he will make sure everyone is pardoned before he is removed from office.
republicans will make a show of it but ultimately they won’t vote to remove him. They’re complicit and they’re absolutely wallowing in the fact that they can do whatever they want as long as they convince everyone it was his idea.
