      1. What if the problem with Trump isn't just the crimes he's committing but the stuff that is perfectly legal -- in fact, well within presidential powers under the Constitution?https://twitter.com/fordm/status/1229909715687223301 …

      A big lesson of the Trump era is that American liberal democracy as we know it exists despite the Constitution, not because of it.

      2. The pardon power has become Trumpized: turned into an instrument of purely partisan gratification to reward allies, donors and people you want to win over. Trump's hints about pardoning Roger Stone point where it is going.

          3. Trump could, at the end of his presidency, give himself the same absolute pardon Gerald Ford gave to Nixon: complete clemency for everything he did as president. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1003616210922147841?lang=en …

          Criminalization of the pardon, as in “that’s a crime.” The sooner we stop granting Trump mythical status (so much is “Trumpian”), the sooner his followers see him for what he is—moronic con in a big suit.

          He drained the swamp alright. It's amazing still that Republicans in the Senate are keeping quiet. What do they fear?
