    Default Giuliani says Trump can let whomever he wants off the hook

    Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Sunday the president might pardon his jailed, onetime campaign chairman and others ensnared in the Russia investigation once special counsel Robert Mueller's work wraps up, if he believed they were treated 'unfairly.'

    Until then, consideration of clemency is unnecessary, Giuliani said, as the White House presses to bring the yearlong investigation to an end.

    Giuliani denied that Trump was trying to send a message to Paul Manafort, who was the 2016 chairman for nearly five months, or others to refrain from cooperating with prosecutors. The former New York City mayor suggested that an end to the investigation could be in sight one way or the other – either by undercutting the Mueller's inquiry as illegitimate, or if necessary, by agreeing to a Trump interview with prosecutors under limited conditions.

    'The president is not going to issue pardons in this investigation,' Giuliani said. 'Because you just cloud what is becoming now a very clear picture of an extremely unfair investigation with no criminality involved in it of any kind.'

    But, he added, 'When it's over, hey, he's the president of the United States. He retains his pardon power. Nobody is taking that away from him. He can pardon, in his judgment.'

    What does rudy know? It has not gone to the courts. Never been a ruling made on that. If trump starts the pardon games, the courts will come in. Unfortunately the Repubs stole Obama's Supreme court judge appointment.

    Of course you know Rudi's track record and what is his role is in this attack Mueller campaign

    Legally Trump can pardon El Chapo Guzman if he desires, Rudi isn't bringing anything real to the discussion, that is his job

    Rudy is correct. And there is nothing NY or Mueller can do about it.

    Boy...just like the crowds hailing and cheering for Adolf Hitler in 1930's Germany.

    Cheerleaders for a disaster in the making.

    I'm attending the "rallies" here on JPP.

    The posters from the right (who make up the rallies)...are helping enable a dictator wanna-be. I know...I know...this seems over-the-top. But everything the abomination-in-chief does seems to be over-the-top.

    I don't think it can happen here...but as I said, if it doesn't, it will be in spite of what people like you are doing to enable the abomination...rather than whatever checks you think you are offering.

    TO THE OTHERS WHO SEE WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT HERE:

    Keep quiet if you think this is too much. But it would have been very good for Germany if more people refused to be quiet...refused to be persuaded that such a thing "could not happen" there.

    Rudy and you are both wrong. Trump would abuse a power that has not ever been adjudicated in court.It would go to the supremes and we would all find out the truth. I doubt even this right wing court will vote for an imperial presidency. Trump is not above the law.

    That was about as stupid a response as I've ever seen in this forum, Yaya.

    Congratulation...you are a winner!

    He is irrational...although to give him his due...
