Trump should start cranking out the pardons
By Fritz Pettyjohn

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton appeared Monday night on the Lou Dobbs show on Fox Business, and he was a deadly serious man.  He said the proper constitutional remedy to the Deep State assault on the presidency is a blanket use of the pardon power, beginning with retired Army lieutenant general Michael Flynn.  Every potential legal target of Special Counsel Robert Mueller should also be pardoned.  The president doesn't have to fire anyone.  He can simply take away legal jurisdiction through the exercise of his pardon power.

As the Supreme Court stated in 1866, in Ex parte Garland, the presidential pardon power is "unlimited."  "It extends to every offense known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission."  In other words, it may be pre-emptive.  It's not just after conviction, but before any criminal prosecution has even begun.

This is terrible advice. "Conservatives" are truly some of the dumbest people on the face of the planet.

Should Trump pardon some people? No doubt he should, but for him to start blanket pardoning is terrible optics.

so let me get this straight.  Bad optics when the Pubs do it.  Justice served when the Rats do it.   

What a country!

You got it.   Those damned double standards (the only standards the left has) are even more glaring now, during Trump's presidency.  And I thought .... during GWB's ... that it couldn't get any worse.  The left keeps proving me wrong re: that.

Trump just waking up in the morning is terrible optics to the usual outlets. If he did this it wouldn't move the needle either way. It would cut Muellers nuts off, which would be fun.

"Bad optics" or not, Mr. Trump should immediately issue a blanket pardon for that lawyer who just got his office raided in New York.

Even though no "crimes" have been charged against him as of yet.

I don't care if you dislike the optics.
This is war.
And the message should be sent to Mueller and his crew:
We are NOT going to let your investigation amount to anything more than a hill of beans.

Quit now, get out with your dignity intact, so we don't have to fire your a@@ outta there.

In a related matter, the Ninth Circus just appointed a Special Master to look into the legality of President Trump's pardon of Joe Arpaio.  Said they couldn't see a good reason not to.
