      What's stopping Pres. Trump from issuing pardons? Granting them could aid Mueller's prosecution, writes @AmbHarper https://www.justsecurity.org/43568/presidents-pardons-paradox-granting-aid-prosecution/ …

      @emptywheel @Susan_Hennessey Keith, let me throw a wrinkle at you. AFAIK, nothing would prevent @realDonaldTrump from pardoning perjury too.pic.twitter.com/B4c13Pk23u

      Right: Nothing--except Congress and impeachment--prevents Trump from serially pardoning people.

      Exactly! When you come right down to it, executive pardon power is gift that never stops giving.

      I will say that Bush's refusal to give Scooter a full pardon suggests his (crack) lawyers also saw risk of obstruction had he done so.

      As opposed to giving middle finger to Cheney?

      No. I think Bush had real exposure. I don't think that was ever about being an asshole to Cheney.

          Was mostly joking about Cheney. And conclusion of Bush presidency would've ended pardon power, but not criminal risk if Scooter pardoned.

          Right: Tho trying to remember whether IIPA has 5 or 10 year SOL. In any case, he had OCA authority to declassify her identity.

          Hadn't considered implication of SOL before. Fwiw, don't think promoters of Unitary Executive ever considered no-norms @realDonaldTrump.
