      I'm hoping we're seeing the beginning of Trumpsters eating their own. Manafort would have had a copy, for example.

      I'm with Wheeler. This is an attempt to stave off the infection before it kills the body. Kushner likely behind it.

      I don't think anyone with a hope of pardon would do it. Plus I think Kushner is less certain of pardon than Don Jr.

      I'm assuming he will pardon entire administration, and attendant staff, in one fell brazen swoop.

          That was VA Sup Ct interpreting VA law. US precedent is otherwise.

          So there's the August 5 1974 OLC opinion in which OLC said "nope"https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/884874515133673472 …

          Going thru OLC ops of pardon power, came across this one from 1974: Can the President pardon himself (OLC's A: No) https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/olc/opinions/1974/08/31/op-olc-supp-v001-p0370_0.pdf …

          And another which concludes you can't pardon posthumously. But my Q is whether he can pardon by tweet. And I don't see why not.

          Most interesting thing IMO abt pardons is not whether or how they'll happen but if Trump can get good enough legal advice to do them right
