    Yet more proof that the Libby pardon is all about sending Manafort, Cohen, and (soon to be) Stone a message. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/04/12/the-libby-pardon-trumps-object-lesson-in-presidential-firewalls/ …https://twitter.com/ShimonPro/status/984785246527934464 …

        What do Congressional Republicans have to lose? Its becoming increasingly clear that the will be demolished in the mid-term elections. Why not take out Trump before they go and at least salvage some small morsel of their dignity.

        People are getting upset about this, but pardoning famous Republican criminals is the only kind thing he's ever done.

        And it doesn’t even matter - this is totally out of trump’s grubby little paws and cannot be stopped. His corruption will be uncovered and his complicit minions will be exposed and ridicule and anger towards them all will happen. Just a matter of time.

        I could be about sending a message -- or the first in a wave of pardons while Trump still has the power. He may be creating 'chits' for use later. Horrible people stick together, like a pack of rats.

        Like you say, pardoning will be ineffective. Too many moving pieces and if they get a pardon they loose 5A plus liable to unpardonable state charges. Trump is in trouble no matter what. Trump/Cohen have entered the "going to the mattresses" stage.

        Yeah. But can it really comfort them if Trump can't stay in office long enough to pardon them? I know Trump wouldn't think this through, but...
