Pardon Me

Loose lips not only sink ships, but also torpedo Presidential pardons.  Trump's carefully leaked praise for Flynn after firing him, was Morse Code for pardon me and I will pardon you.

Fearing friendly fire, Trump has fueled leaks about his broad pardon authority.  But presidential pardon authority stops at the state line.  A president cannot pardon state crimes  Most of Trump and Kushner's business interests run through New Jersey and New York.  New York has a Democratic Governor, and New Jersey, soon will.

New York has a comprehensive, broadly written, money laundering statute.  So, if we can prosecute them there, we can prosecute them fair and square, so it is up to you New York, New York

  1. MSNBC covered this on August 28 or 29. My readers could say we already knew about it.
