Forums:
Manafort going to jail, Cohen ready to cooperate. I say we are going to war with Canada any second now to distract from all this.

The president can actually issue preemptive, pre-conviction pardons. In the case of Ex parte Garland, the US Supreme Court held that the President's pardoning power is ''unlimited,'' and ''It extends to every offense known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment.'' (emphasis added).
Nixon hadn't been convicted of anything yet when Ford pardoned him and I believe Bush I pardoned a whole slew of cronies before they were officially convicted too.

The lawyers have told Drumph
The lawyers have told Drumph don't even think of pardoning anybody involved with the Mueller/Russia investigation until it's done.
Stating it will only make things worse.
** Remember there could be "sealed" co-conspirator indictments on Trump himself.
*** If you receive a pardon, you no longer are granted 5th Amendment protections.
Example: If Trump pardoned Manafort today...
Mueller could issue a subpoena for Manafort to face the Grand Jury,
where he would be forced to testify against Trump.
**** Presidential pardon doesn't protect you against "State Indictments".
Example: NY AG filing Suit against the Trump Foundation,
Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka and Don "The Con" himself.
So basically...
He's boxed in like a turtles pecker.

I was told they did it because they had a sense of civic responsibility.
The nepotism and general lawlessness extends from the White House and halls of Congress (both parties of course) all the way down to your local councilman who runs because his stupid brother-in-law needs to get that open dog catcher position. Everyone has a ulterior motive.

Apparently, George Washington took the "role of Cincinnatus" to heart. It's been a downhill run since.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_Quinctius_Cincinnatus
Despite his old age, he worked his own small farm until an invasion prompted his fellow citizens to call for his leadership. He came from his plough to assume complete control over the state but, upon achieving a swift victory, relinquished his power and its perquisites and returned to his farm. His success and immediate resignation of his near-absolute authority with the end of this crisis (traditionally dated to 458 BC) has often been cited as an example of outstanding leadership, service to the greater good, civic virtue, humility, and modesty. As a result, he has inspired a number of organizations and other entities, some named in his honour.

The problem is the Citizens United ruling.
Holding: Political spending is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment, and the government may not keep corporations or unions from spending money to support or denounce individual candidates in elections. While corporations or unions may not give money directly to campaigns, they may seek to persuade the voting public through other means, including ads, especially where these ads were not broadcast.
Judgment: Reversed, 5-4, in an opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy on January 21, 2010. in a 5-4 decision with an opinion written by Justice Kennedy. Justice Stevens dissented, joined by Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, and Sotomayor.
