Amen Glenn!!! The Flynn thing has burned my A-- since I first saw the fascist running around trying to overthrow our government!!! And paying him a retirement burns my brain everything I even hear his name!
Flynn stands in the spotlight focused on him by the fact that he is not retired as that word is commonly understood. Flynn is on inactive status, therefore he can be called back to active duty, be brought before a court-martial proceeding and tried for the same offences he pled guilty to in his civilian trial. If convicted by military court martial he can get a not honourable discharge and further penalised by forfeiting his pension and other benefits that accrue to retired military personnel. Let’s hope.
Yes, the Presidential Pardons we're NEVER meant to be abused & used as a get out of prison free card for criminals. Once again another disgusting abuse of law by tRaitor. Flynn should be prosecuted by the branch of service he served. He like tRump is a *** tRaitor seditionist to this country!! Take his brother & son with him!!!
In order to do away with Presidential pardons the U.S. Constitution would have to be changed, wherein that issue is a part of. And once the U.S. Constitution is opened for change, these same crooked politicians that benefit from the change would not be un-pardoned.

Welcome to Amerikkkan reality where the only thing more abhorrent than our collective ignorance and bigotry, is the cost paid by innocent people for it.
Unfortunately its still not settle whether a self-pardon is legal. There have been no presidents who have tried it. Im surprised that Trump wasnt the first considering all the other crimes he committed while in office.
Flynn deserves a general courts-martial resulting in reduction in rate to E1 and incarceration in Leavenworth for the rest of his natural life. Or a firing squad.
@Seilolo this is what Nixon's Pardon says, the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9,1974.
It can be open ended but it can not be for future crimes. It can say something like "for any and all crimes committed between May 1st and this date." They usually do narrow it just to avoid landmines. You don't want to issue a full pardon without boundaries then find out down the road the pardon was issued to someone that was unknowingly at the time committing heinous crimes elsewhere and now they have a full pardon for those crimes and the president gets a huge blackeye. For example. Trump issues Steve Bannon a full blanket pardon with no boundaries for his build the wall scam. 3-4 years from now it comes out that Bannon spent all of his vacation time at Yellowstone molesting Bison and running around the different campgrounds flashing the campers while riding a horse naked with a chicken rammed up his rear. A full blanket pardon will forgive those crimes and there will be huge public outcry that a pervert that big was set free by Trump. Some will claim Trump knew some will claim he didn't but there will always be questions. That's why they never issue blanket pardons and only a moron like Trump would.
I absolutely cant stand him>This is fear mongering at its best.For months now he has called Merrick Garland all kinds of names and sewed doubt that Trump will ever even be indicted.Now he switches to fear mongering as a tactic,because Jack Smith has proven him wrong.
@dc4157 According to legal scholars, he is no longer eligible to run for 2024 or ever by the 14th Amendment, Clause 3 because he instigated the insurrection on January 6th. He was advised by family and advisors do something to stop the insurrection on the capital and he chose to do nothing. There is actually no way he will be able to pardon himself. He was under oath to uphold his office and the U.S. Constitution.
Matt Gaetz had sex, gave drugs & alcohol to minors then flew them across state lines. Mollies r faster than alcohol plus orgies. Did GOPs pay off all his victims or what???
I’m going to say her name is on the list. There is no way the reason she asked for a pardon so early on isn’t because she’s nose deep in J6 including planting pipe bombs on J5. It feels like the GOP is a street gang and MTG was seeking membership. I can only imagine how much the men who sent her out into the night with shopping bags and two pipe bombs laughed at her for agreeing to do something so idiotic and dangerous (the bombs didn’t go off, but they easily could have). This has given those men, including Trump, a way to carrot and stick her to do all kinds of things on their behalf. She is desperate to be accepted. I guess she hasn’t figured out she fits under the bus same as everyone else.
This is wrong people convicted of a crime serves time in prison until their appeal is heard just like everyone else Bannon is a nobody he never served in office or in the military
It's absurd that a Court found Bannon guilty and the Republican judge set him free Bannon should be in jail awaiting his appeal hearing someone should investigate this judge and his decision looks like another corrupt criminal Republican move to me
The interaction between Brian and Glenn are one of the most informative series of legal and political dialogues on YT. No filler, ego driven rants or misinformation, driven by an agenda.
They do have an agenda. It's beneficial to ALL Americans, not just heterosexual cis gender white men, like the republican agenda and complicit democrats.
Trump pardoned Bannon so that he could get that kick-back from the money Bannon got for the wall hoax. They probably had a secret agreement huh? Wasn't Trump selling pardons too??? I remember Rudi selling pardone's for $2 million each right? What a businessman this Trump guy is huh? Woot! Now I understand why he has so many supporter's in Red States! O M G !

@@spacelemur7955 self-pardons by a pardoning officer, and pardons by a pardoning officer to the pardoning officer’s co-conspirator are null and void. This means the pardon has to be more than just to protect the pardoning officer issuing the pardon to be null and void. The pardoning officer must be involved as a co-conspirator in the crime which is being pardoned. For example, if Melania had publicly announced she would testify against President Trump for every crime he has done before and while he was president to which she has receipts for, and Trump hired a hitman in DC (federal area) to take Melania out as she’s walking into Congress to testify, successfully ending her life (a federal crime because it was executed in DC), and then Trump issues presidential (i.e. federal pardons a president has jurisdiction to issue) pardons (pocket pardons or otherwise) to himself and the hitman, neither pardons are effective, because the pardoning officer (President Trump) was involved in the crime that is attempting to be pardoned in both pardons. If his daughter had ordered the hit, and the crime benefits him but he wasn’t involved in it, the pardon to his daughter and the hitman are both effective.
this is as good as it gets. Glenn and Brian. A mastery of information and FACTS. These men help us to get to a place of Justice for all. Including the self appointed mafia king.
Thankfully he can only do that if he becomes President in the future. Just got to hope and pray that never happens, but I fear someone else will issue a pardon for him ....
I think the DOJ is worried about filing charges against a former president because it could become a "tradition" for the incoming administration to prosecute the outgoing one - kind of like how the Republicans want to impeach Biden as payback for Trump being impeached twice.
And nor are pardons of co-conspirators. Self-pardons by a pardoning officer, and pardons by a pardoning officer to the pardoning officer’s co-conspirator are null and void.

As a retired teacher, I was appalled to find out so many young people I met out & about were not registered to vote. I did like these gentlemen just talked about and started getting people interested in voting & registered. I know I got about ten people to vote and I’m going to continue to talk to young people who bag my groceries , hand me a drink at a fast food establishment or wherever and encourage them to be responsible citizens and bite. We need to PRESERVE our democracy… NoW !
Anybody can go to their nearest Party Chair and volunteer to help people register to vote! I have always believed that High Schools should include in their government classes the importance of registering to vote. Sometimes if voting is not important to parents or older family members that care of the right to vote ,young people are not going to! Government studies teachers can without being political encourage the kids to register! Even make a school trip if the school allows it! When I turned 18, I wasn't looking towards a Birthday Party, I could hardly wait to register to vote! And so my children, all vote, one thing I also taught my children is what my dad told me is to read and educate myself on issues and what kind of person I chose to vote for! And never ask people " who should I vote for?" There were no computers laptops or cell phones that were invented yet) Some.of my kids vote differently than I do and I respect that! They sometimes rub me the wrong way but I have never allowed any disrespect either way! God bless America, land that I love! love!😢
If he goes to prison, he will want to squeel, those he threatens will want to shut him up, trump wont think they will do it, but lindsey already turned on magats telling capitol police to kill them with firearms. Trump will be under 24 hour guard.
We clearly need a Constitutional amendment to address Presidential pardon powers. Pardons should be nullified when used by a criminal President (or state Governor) to exonerate his or her criminal conspirators. It is illogical and insane to allow it to be used that way.
I can’t believe I missed this conversation 5 months ago! So glad I listened now, my husband and I were especially thinking the same about Mike Flynn, he needs to be called back to active duty, then court marshaled ! He is the ultimate of a trader!!!!
Flynn is indeed a Trader. He traded away his integrity for a momentary appearance in front of a ragtag group of magats that couldn’t find their way out of a non enclosed shower.
They should be found guilty or plead guilty in court before they become eligible for a pardon. Giving pardons out before they are charged is ridiculous.
There are times a pardon preemptively makes sense. Examples include both Lincoln and Johnson pardoning ex-confederate offices and arguably Ford pardoning Nixon rather than putting the country through the prosecution of an ex-president. That’s a precedent I sure hope we don’t see repeated if/when charges are dropped on 45.
Glenn is GREAT! Listening to him is like going to Law School for Dummies. He has a way of explaining things that are fairly complex in terms that most people can grasp. The teaming of Glenn with Brian-one can’t ask for more! BRAVO!!
I agree, this has caused me alot of issues. This won't be over until prosecution's are delivered and the GOP Changes. We Must Vote, I can't stress this enough.
If he’s confined to his home because it’s not feasible to keep him safe in prison, they’ll need to stipulate that he cannot use social media or have free access to the public.
@@jo-p5 And trump really would listen to these orders? Just take his gag Orders as an example! No, living in luxury at home IS NO PUNISHMENT for trump. He can still have McDonald's, and you tell me of other prisoners having just that type of luxury in prison? trump WON'T learn anything if he is sent to his room and not dealt with like you and me, if we had done just one of those crimes trump committed!
One of the things most missed in the Jerad kushner deposition was when he said “… my interest at the time was to get as many pardons done “ , they were pushing them through like lottery tickets
Michael Cohen and Lev Parnas talked about it on TH-cam this past week. And yes, he was pushing out pardons as fast as he could but for a price a very hefty price.
Really great point from Glenn that people who’ve been pardoned would not evoke their 5th amendment rights. It occurs to me that several of the reluctant parties who are resisting subpoenas, including some Congress people, may already have received pardons, which shows knowledge of guilt.
Any idea why child trafficker matt FU*KING #gatezz is still walking around freely??? 🤔 Dont tell US that #clarence and #gini plan to legalise Child Trafficking NOW??? 🤔😪✌ And what about oorgy #cawthorn who took guns into the airport??? Are we common poor people now allowed to do the SAME??? 🤔
A presidential pardon is an acknowledgment of guilt where a person has been convicted of a crime. Acceptance of a presidential pardon in advance of a trial or conviction is an acknowledgment of criminal knowledge and fear of prosecution. It's also racketeering if granted by a president in furtherance of a conspiracy.

OMG, I was talking to someone about why isn't Flynn being court- martialled. This really needs to happen. As a commissioned officer he can be recalled back to active duty for the purpose of being court-marshalled.
The court marshal is reserved for active duty members of the United States military. This would be done by the judge advocate general known as the Jag. Civilians cannot be court-martialed period .
This was one of your best interviews! I had a major WTF moment when Flynn pleaded the 5th on the peaceful transition of power. Reinstate him, the let him have it. I learned a lot today.
As a veteran, General Flynn’s statements are infuriating. But he is far from the only military officer involved in seditious conspiracy. Top brass, including Flynn’s brother, were negligent in their responsibilities on January 6th and are equally guilty.
Agreed. But it's not the first time a high ranking official has completely lost their mind. I think he's a seriously sick person, whether it's mentally ill or maybe a degenerative illness like dementia... I would be curious what lives in his service records.
It seems reasonable to come to the conclusion that Trumps inquiries about self pardon was a guilty conscious..... in 2017. That goes along with the dissolving of the Whitehouse ethics department.
Self-pardons by a pardoning officer, and pardons by a pardoning officer to the pardoning officer’s co-conspirator are null and void. This means the pardon has to be more than just to protect the pardoning officer issuing the pardon to be null and void. The pardoning officer must be involved as a co-conspirator in the crime which is being pardoned. For example, if Melania had publicly announced she would testify against President Trump for every crime he has done before and while he was president to which she has receipts for, and Trump hired a hitman in DC (federal area) to take Melania out as she’s walking into Congress to testify, successfully ending her life (a federal crime because it was executed in DC), and then Trump issues presidential (i.e. federal pardons a president has jurisdiction to issue) pardons (pocket pardons or otherwise) to himself and the hitman, neither pardons are effective, because the pardoning officer (President Trump) was involved in the crime that is attempting to be pardoned in both pardons.

Glenn Kirschner is the best and I always learn more and more about the legal process and how it works and applies to real issues involving criminal conduct and more from him.
Glenn Kirschner has an authority built on citation for every idea he advances. My impression is that he is not working at a political agenda, but rather Justice.
The DOJ is being methodical just like the committee. Merrick Garland will do the job. I have a pinch of faith that he is the man in the position for a reason. History will remember him based upon it.
Methodical is one thing. This is just slowwwwww. Terribly, terribly slow. It'd be fine if people weren't being groomed to commit future violence, but they are. With so many mass shootings I fear the US is raising a generation of mental health problems, being made worse by the politics of division.
I agree ..I have faith he's quietly doing a meticulous job making sure there's not the smallest crack left open in order for those mobsters to get off on a stupid technicality..
I appreciate you and Glenn for covering this honestly. Explaining in terms I can understand, gaining knowledge as this moves forward, thank you both. History, Trumps failed Presidency, a disgrace to his country.

About Mike Flynn. 💯 agree. He cannot disagree with govt and collect pension and also try to overthrow. We cannot allow him to live this out. He should be made a example. I've watched young marines do less and get court martial.
Kirschner is out of touch if he is worried about pardons from trump because they pleaded the fifth that's one of the reasons why the Dems are in trouble this November they did this to themselves
We need to remind people that accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt.

What about crimes commented after the date on the pardon.
@@renee22067 a valid pardon has to specify the crime. It can't be for crimes as yet unknown.

He needs a court martial and his retirement spent in Leavenworth - til his death! He needs to sit and think for the rest of his traitor life!
After THIS length of time, though, John, how likely are either or ANY of those things to happen?

You don't want to issue a full pardon without boundaries then find out down the road the pardon was issued to someone that was unknowingly at the time committing heinous crimes elsewhere and now they have a full pardon for those crimes and the president gets a huge blackeye. For example. Trump issues Steve Bannon a full blanket pardon with no boundaries for his build the wall scam. 3-4 years from now it comes out that Bannon spent all of his vacation time at Yellowstone molesting Bison and running around the different campgrounds flashing the campers while riding a horse naked with a chicken rammed up his rear. A full blanket pardon will forgive those crimes and there will be huge public outcry that a pervert that big was set free by Trump. Some will claim Trump knew some will claim he didn't but there will always be questions. That's why they never issue blanket pardons and only a moron like Trump would.

Glenn Kirschner has fast become one of my favorite voices of fact and reason.
Without a doubt!!
I as well
Glenn and Brian deliver powerful no nonsense messages. My favourite team
I absolutely cant stand him>This is fear mongering at its best.For months now he has called Merrick Garland all kinds of names and sewed doubt that Trump will ever even be indicted.Now he switches to fear mongering as a tactic,because Jack Smith has proven him wrong.
Absolutely!
If he can pardon himself, that means he is above the law!
@dc4157 According to legal scholars, he is no longer eligible to run for 2024 or ever by the 14th Amendment, Clause 3 because he instigated the insurrection on January 6th. He was advised by family and advisors do something to stop the insurrection on the capital and he chose to do nothing. There is actually no way he will be able to pardon himself. He was under oath to uphold his office and the U.S. Constitution.
Why isn't MTG being prosecuted. She had led a tour of insurgents in Congress. Those people are partially responsible.
Matt Gaetz had sex, gave drugs & alcohol to minors then flew them across state lines. Mollies r faster than alcohol plus orgies. Did GOPs pay off all his victims or what???
If she was leading a tour she was doing more than that. She was a mole from the day the election was called.
Bish MTG, the 3Toed Sporkfoot traitor.
Good question.
I’m going to say her name is on the list. There is no way the reason she asked for a pardon so early on isn’t because she’s nose deep in J6 including planting pipe bombs on J5. It feels like the GOP is a street gang and MTG was seeking membership. I can only imagine how much the men who sent her out into the night with shopping bags and two pipe bombs laughed at her for agreeing to do something so idiotic and dangerous (the bombs didn’t go off, but they easily could have). This has given those men, including Trump, a way to carrot and stick her to do all kinds of things on their behalf. She is desperate to be accepted. I guess she hasn’t figured out she fits under the bus same as everyone else.
How can a pardon from a corrupt president be valid?!

This is wrong people convicted of a crime serves time in prison until their appeal is heard just like everyone else Bannon is a nobody he never served in office or in the military
Maybe it was the same judge that Kyle Rittenhouse had, and got off Scott Free!

Trump pardoned Bannon so that he could get that kick-back from the money Bannon got for the wall hoax. They probably had a secret agreement huh?

Everything about Trump is beyond the pale. He’s probably completely evil, wicked, depraved, crooked, horrid.
It’s not Trump that bothers me, really it’s the elected Republicans who covered for him every damned time, and they as badly as Trump are cowardly traitors.
The question to ask is under what circumstances can these pardons be considered invalid?
If the pardon was issued to protect the person issuing it, it will probably be ruled illegal.
@@spacelemur7955 shiiiiiet hopefully because Pardoning is literally starting to be synonymous with Privilege
@@spacelemur7955 self-pardons by a pardoning officer, and pardons by a pardoning officer to the pardoning officer’s co-conspirator are null and void. This means the pardon has to be more than just to protect the pardoning officer issuing the pardon to be null and void. The pardoning officer must be involved as a co-conspirator in the crime which is being pardoned.
For example, if Melania had publicly announced she would testify against President Trump for every crime he has done before and while he was president to which she has receipts for, and Trump hired a hitman in DC (federal area) to take Melania out as she’s walking into Congress to testify, successfully ending her life (a federal crime because it was executed in DC), and then Trump issues presidential (i.e. federal pardons a president has jurisdiction to issue) pardons (pocket pardons or otherwise) to himself and the hitman, neither pardons are effective, because the pardoning officer (President Trump) was involved in the crime that is attempting to be pardoned in both pardons.
If his daughter had ordered the hit, and the crime benefits him but he wasn’t involved in it, the pardon to his daughter and the hitman are both effective.

@@clairemcnamara1749èèèl
This logic makes America look insane to the rest of the world!
I am getting a clearer picture of why they have not charged Trump yet and Glenn is making clear of it. I hope justice matters for Trump's misdeeds.
Glenn: “A presidential self pardon is not permitted”
Let’s go then, DOJ!
I think the DOJ is worried about filing charges against a former president because it could become a "tradition" for the incoming administration to prosecute the outgoing one - kind of like how the Republicans want to impeach Biden as payback for Trump being impeached twice.
And nor are pardons of co-conspirators.
Self-pardons by a pardoning officer, and pardons by a pardoning officer to the pardoning officer’s co-conspirator are null and void. This means the pardon has to be more than just to protect the pardoning officer issuing the pardon to be null and void. The pardoning officer must be involved as a co-conspirator in the crime which is being pardoned.
For example, if Melania had publicly announced she would testify against President Trump for every crime he has done before and while he was president to which she has receipts for, and Trump hired a hitman in DC (federal area) to take Melania out as she’s walking into Congress to testify, successfully ending her life (a federal crime because it was executed in DC), and then Trump issues presidential (i.e. federal pardons a president has jurisdiction to issue) pardons (pocket pardons or otherwise) to himself and the hitman, neither pardons are effective, because the pardoning officer (President Trump) was involved in the crime that is attempting to be pardoned in both pardons.
If his daughter Ivanka had ordered the hit, and the crime benefits President Trump but he wasn’t actually involved in it as a co-conspirator, then the pardon to his daughter Ivanka and the hitman are both effective.
Was Obama involved as a co-conspirator, even allegedly, to the crimes he gave pardons to others? Or is that just your speculation?
Riiiight.... it all goes to the stacked Trump Supreme Court. SMH yall be hopefully justice..... but those "heads of justice" are all mostly placed and paid by Trump....
Please wake up and realize there is no true justice anymore. It's ALL ON BOTH SIDES, politically motivated

As a retired teacher, I was appalled to find out so many young people I met out & about were not registered to vote. I did like these gentlemen just talked about and started getting people interested in voting & registered. I know I got about ten people to vote and I’m going to continue to talk to young people who bag my groceries , hand me a drink at a fast food establishment or wherever and encourage them to be responsible citizens and bite. We need to PRESERVE our democracy… NoW !
Spot on. Damn good suggestion.
Anybody can go to their nearest Party Chair and volunteer to help people register to vote! I have always believed that High Schools should include in their government classes the importance of registering to vote. Sometimes if voting is not important to parents or older family members that care of the right to vote ,young people are not going to! Government studies teachers can without being political encourage the kids to register! Even make a school trip if the school allows it! When I turned 18, I wasn't looking towards a Birthday Party, I could hardly wait to register to vote! And so my children, all vote, one thing I also taught my children is what my dad told me is to read and educate myself on issues and what kind of person I chose to vote for! And never ask people " who should I vote for?" There were no computers laptops or cell phones that were invented yet) Some.of my kids vote differently than I do and I respect that! They sometimes rub me the wrong way but I have never allowed any disrespect either way! God bless America, land that I love! love!😢

Excellent Barbara!! Every opportunity matters. We all need to be proactive. 💙💙💙

Also, I think Trump thought to himself. “If I go down,they go down with me.”
That has been his way of thinking for ages.
Autumn is my favorite season. Also known as the great FALL.
If he goes to prison, he will want to squeel, those he threatens will want to shut him up, trump wont think they will do it, but lindsey already turned on magats telling capitol police to kill them with firearms. Trump will be under 24 hour guard.

A PRE-LOGICAL ORANGE MUMMY IS BACK, TO PICK-UP HIS OWN SKULL !!!!!LOL!!..
We clearly need a Constitutional amendment to address Presidential pardon powers. Pardons should be nullified when used by a criminal President (or state Governor) to exonerate his or her criminal conspirators. It is illogical and insane to allow it to be used that way.
Yeah...pretty sure Derek Chauvin wanted one too...
Good to see Glenn here -- after all, Justice Matters.
Trump found a way to subvert Justice with the self pardon and rigged the Supreme Court in his favour.

I can’t believe I missed this conversation 5 months ago! So glad I listened now, my husband and I were especially thinking the same about Mike Flynn, he needs to be called back to active duty, then court marshaled ! He is the ultimate of a trader!!!!
ABSOLUTELY EXCEPT IT IS SPELLED TRAITOR.
Yes ...
Traitor
Flynn is indeed a Trader. He traded away his integrity for a momentary appearance in front of a ragtag group of magats that couldn’t find their way out of a non enclosed shower.
I'm the only one who can blow up this phone
They should be found guilty or plead guilty in court before they become eligible for a pardon. Giving pardons out before they are charged is ridiculous.
It's an get out of jail card. Monopoly anyone?
THIS IS 100% RIGHT.
There are times a pardon preemptively makes sense. Examples include both Lincoln and Johnson pardoning ex-confederate offices and arguably Ford pardoning Nixon rather than putting the country through the prosecution of an ex-president. That’s a precedent I sure hope we don’t see repeated if/when charges are dropped on 45.
@Eszrah I couldn’t agree more.
Unfortunately as long as it's after the crime is committed it's legit. I don't like it, but that's about the only fairball in this insanity
Glenn is GREAT! Listening to him is like going to Law School for Dummies. He has a way of explaining things that are fairly complex in terms that most people can grasp. The teaming of Glenn with Brian-one can’t ask for more! BRAVO!!

Yes I heard that when he said it. I couldn’t believe my ears. This guy is actually admitting that many many people are guilty. Disgusting.

@@Scraggy51 yes it did
Really great point from Glenn that people who’ve been pardoned would not evoke their 5th amendment rights. It occurs to me that several of the reluctant parties who are resisting subpoenas, including some Congress people, may already have received pardons, which shows knowledge of guilt.
Terrorism has no pardon.

A presidential pardon is an acknowledgment of guilt where a person has been convicted of a crime. Acceptance of a presidential pardon in advance of a trial or conviction is an acknowledgment of criminal knowledge and fear of prosecution. It's also racketeering if granted by a president in furtherance of a conspiracy.

says to me
Trump was possibly SELLING pardons.

More than likely !!
Duh 🙄
Giuliani said pardons were being sold for $2mil.
We know that he was and Jared Kushner was the bag man. Rudy was also trying to gain in the back aller at the time.
This was one of your best interviews! I had a major WTF moment when Flynn pleaded the 5th on the peaceful transition of power. Reinstate him, the let him have it. I learned a lot today.
He hit the nail right on the head about Flynn taking the fifth: an abomination.
His commission and his pension and benefits should be revoked immediately.
As a veteran, General Flynn’s statements are infuriating. But he is far from the only military officer involved in seditious conspiracy. Top brass, including Flynn’s brother, were negligent in their responsibilities on January 6th and are equally guilty.
Agreed. But it's not the first time a high ranking official has completely lost their mind. I think he's a seriously sick person, whether it's mentally ill or maybe a degenerative illness like dementia... I would be curious what lives in his service records.
Excellent interview. Jam packed. Great questions. Powerful responses. Signature Glenn Kirschner!

It seems reasonable to come to the conclusion that Trumps inquiries about self pardon was a guilty conscious..... in 2017. That goes along with the dissolving of the Whitehouse ethics department.
“I already got a guilty conscience, might as well have the money too” -from the western Tombstone and from tRumf
Self-pardons by a pardoning officer, and pardons by a pardoning officer to the pardoning officer’s co-conspirator are null and void. This means the pardon has to be more than just to protect the pardoning officer issuing the pardon to be null and void. The pardoning officer must be involved as a co-conspirator in the crime which is being pardoned.
For example, if Melania had publicly announced she would testify against President Trump for every crime he has done before and while he was president to which she has receipts for, and Trump hired a hitman in DC (federal area) to take Melania out as she’s walking into Congress to testify, successfully ending her life (a federal crime because it was executed in DC), and then Trump issues presidential (i.e. federal pardons a president has jurisdiction to issue) pardons (pocket pardons or otherwise) to himself and the hitman, neither pardons are effective, because the pardoning officer (President Trump) was involved in the crime that is attempting to be pardoned in both pardons.
If his daughter had ordered the hit, and the crime benefits him but he wasn’t involved in it, the pardon to his daughter and the hitman are both effective.
He has no conscience

Thank u both BTC and Glenn Kirschnet 4 the great analysis.
Congress must swiftly pass a law that makes it necessary for a pardon to be publicly announced at the time of granting, or it is not legitimate.
Or better yet, do away with the power of the President to issue pardons.
no shit ! The law has turned against the people. The Law v. America
It would have to be a constitutional amendment since the power is stupidly prescribed in the constitution.
Amen!
Maybe they can verify when was the pardon issued , certainly it wouldn’t be valid if it was dated after January 20 2021.

with the delaying power that #Drumpf is famous for.... would not be surprised if this is delayed until 2028.... 🤦🤦🤦🤦....
That's wonderful news!!
Could we get this guy to be Attorney General?
Attorney General hell, let's get him in the WH
He could, but don't think he would want to.
About Mike Flynn. 💯 agree. He cannot disagree with govt and collect pension and also try to overthrow. We cannot allow him to live this out. He should be made a example. I've watched young marines do less and get court martial.

Kirschner is out of touch both him
