Trump Has One Ace Up His Sleeve That Would Be Robert Mueller's Worst Nightmare
Robert Mueller is waging war on Donald Trump and the American people.
The special counsel took his Russia probe to the next level by indicting Trump aides
and signaling he wants them to flip on the President.
But Donald Trump has one ace up his sleeve that could shut Mueller down for good.
Even after the indictments of former campaign manager Paul Manafort and his deputy Rick
Gates, Mueller has yet to produce any evidence of collusion with Russia.
It's clear Mueller's probe is a fishing expedition designed to concoct any reason
the swamp can use to impeach Trump and remove him from office.
But there is a way Trump can end this farce.
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, former Reagan administration officials David B. Rivkin
Jr. and Lee A. Casey say that Trump could shut down the Mueller investigation by issuing
a blanket pardon to anyone involved in the investigation.
They write:
"Mr. Trump can end this madness by immediately issuing a blanket presidential pardon to anyone
involved in supposed collusion with Russia or Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign,
to anyone involved with Russian acquisition of an American uranium company during the
Obama administration, and to anyone for any offense that has been investigated by Mr.
Mueller's office.
Political weaponization of criminal law should give way to a politically accountable democratic
process.
Nefarious Russian activities, including possible interference in U.S. elections, can and should
be investigated by Congress.
Partisan bitterness will not evaporate if lawmakers take up the investigation.
But at least those conducting the inquiry will be legitimate and politically accountable.
And the question of whether Russia intervened in the 2016 election, and of whether it made
efforts to influence U.S. policy makers in previous administrations, is first and foremost
one of policy and national security, not criminal law.
The president himself would be covered by the blanket pardon we recommend, but the pardon
power does not extend to impeachment.
If Congress finds evidence that he was somehow involved in collusion with Russia, the House
can determine whether to begin impeachment proceedings.
Congress also is better equipped, as part of its oversight role, to determine whether
and how the FBI, Justice Department and intelligence agencies might have been involved in the whole
affair, including possible misuse of surveillance and mishandling of criminal investigations."
Rivkin and Casey cite the blanket amnesty given out by President Washington after the
Whiskey Rebellion, and Lincoln's pardon to Confederates who had pledged their loyalty
to the Union.
Mueller's Russia probe has been a partisan political hit job from day one.
And Donald Trump would be well within his authority to shut this nonsense down.
