Can the President Pardon Himself?

Today the President Tweeted, "As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong?  In the meantime, the never ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms!" Don't get me wrong, he Tweet Stormed many other Tweets over the weekend and today, but this is the one that stood out to me the most.  Why?  Because the President wants to make it clear to the world that he is above the law.  The President wants everyone to know that he feels he has absolute power in his position.  That is not OK.  The President is not Omnipotent or above the law. With the Pardon talks lately it has seemed as though Trump has been sending a message to those who are under investigation to ride it out and he will pardon them.  That is a way of controlling the narrative and stopping those with dirt on you from sharing t...

Let the Investigation Finish!

I have had a very difficult time dealing with the happenings within the Administration over the past 16 Months.  I can barely stomach the outright lies and deception that have occurred on a scale never before seen in Washington.  What makes my stomach turn more than anything though is the current spin being drummed up by the President and his closest allies to discredit the Mueller Investigation, Department of Justice, Free Press, and individuals who have been doing their jobs and who happen to be closing in on subjects that hit exceptionally close to the President himself. Being a person who watches many news sources, I find it appalling to turn on FOX News these days, as they are spewing rhetoric and bending over to forward the President's agenda of demonizing the Mueller Investigation, the Free Press (that would be all press outlets that cover facts about Trump), the Department of Justice, and others.  The conspiracy theories that are discussed are laughable, and on ...

Collusion: Is it a 'Witch Hunt'?

We have all heard it out of Trump's mouth and seen the term on Twitter countless times over the course of the Mueller Investigation; WITCH HUNT.  Donald Trump loves more than anything to refer to the Mueller Investigation as a Witch Hunt.  So the question I pose in the title of this blog is simple.  Is it a Witch Hunt?  First let me start with the dictionary definition of Witch Hunt: Merriam Webster defines Witch Hunt as 'The searching out and deliberate harassment of those (such as political opponents) with unpopular views.' Essentially, Donald Trump has said scores of times that Robert Mueller's Investigation is going on simply to harass him and his administration because they have unpopular views, and not because he or those around him have done anything wrong.  He stands by the fact that Mueller will find no collusion; another word Trump loves to hear himself say out loud, often with a long drawn out 'colluuuusion' escapin...

The Stormy Rolls in!

I am someone who watches and reads numerous news stories to get to the bottom of a story and to ensure I am getting facts rather than conjecture or complete and unfounded opinion.  The one thing that has been flowing through media now for months is the Stormy Daniels story and subsequent lawsuit.  Michael Avenatti is Stormy Daniels' (Stephanie Clifford is her real name) lawyer, and he has been on the television hundreds of times throughout the past few months both keeping his client's lawsuit in the news and making many speculations about how different things in Washington happening within the Trump Administration and amongst those who have been targeted in the Robert Mueller Probe are all in many ways interconnected.  Everything that happens, to include Trump's new lawyer Rudy Giuliani going on his media throw up tour where he has done more harm for Trump than helped Trump, has been playing into the hands of Michael Avenatti.  Michael Avenatti is no s...
