Regarding Trump pardons, I have a pretty simple view: This is him doing a thing he can do! It's a very broad power, with almost no limits, and he needs no one else's say to do it. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-president-actually-has-enormous-power-to-pardon … ... Of course he's going to do it in unexpected ways!

As
@nycsouthpaw notes (about what I've written elsewhere), this is *not* about self-pardon questions or questions about using the pardon power to obstruct an investigation into himself, this thread is about what he has done thus far.https://twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/status/1002228405780254720 …Show this thread -

From
@tparti and me, on today's pardon: "The former official said he doesn't think Trump is playing 'the sort of three-dimensional chess people ascribe to decisions like this. More often than not he's just eating the pieces.'" https://www.buzzfeed.com/tariniparti/trump-allies-dont-see-three-dimensional-chess-in-dinesh?utm_term=.rneQqOgly#.whYOl4zgE …pic.twitter.com/QYkXCUs4mI

Rudy Giuliani tells me that Trump told him about the D'Souza pardon decision last night. As to the 3D chess talk: "I say there’s nothing to that," adding that he’s had no discussions with Trump about sending any messages with his pardons.https://www.buzzfeed.com/tariniparti/trump-allies-dont-see-three-dimensional-chess-in-dinesh?utm_term=.rneQqOgly#.whYOl4zgE …

Especially since he never realized how constrained the presidency actually is, which I'm gathering, he was not exspecting.

If something takes more than one sitting to get done or requires more than 3 people acting in coordination then it ain't getting done. Trump will continue to "act", but only on those things that he can do alone.

All true, but no credit whatsoever to
@realDonaldTrump Be willing to bet serious money that#Trump doesn't know, care or understand that the granting and acceptance of a pardon is a tacit admission of guilt. By definition one cannot be pardoned from a crime one did not commit.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
