        Regarding Thursday’s pardons story, @RudyGiuliani tells me, “We agreed in June that no pardons would be done during investigation.”

        That does, seemingly, fit with the timeline laid out in the Post story, since who knows what “recently” means. But, the Post story also said this, mentioning an early June clemency action:pic.twitter.com/XazZDEinMy

        Rudy also told me this, but did not immediately respond to a follow-up question regarding the Pecker immunity, and whether he thought both of those immunity deals were granted just to prosecute Cohen. —>https://twitter.com/swin24/status/1033180961729589249?s=21 …

        Do we think Trump authorized Giuliani to say this or is Giuliani blabbing (and waiving privilege) in an effort to stop Trump from pardoning Manafort now?

        This was leaked from Trump so Manafort would hear.

        1. Flipping should be illegal. 2. Trump will hold off on pardoning Manafort for a while. THINK ANYONE GETS THE MESSAGE?

        Why would they counsel against it? Seems like their last chance is a mix of pardons and firings. And it's not like the Senate will stop him.

        The Press Secretary said, I think, that they hadn’t discussed it in the White House, and the story today reports that Trump explored a pardon in conversations with his personal lawyers. So not technically “in the White House.” Yeah, I know....
