Are self-pardons OK? How about unlimited preemptive pardons? The 2 Qs may seem distinct, but they’re not. Presidents who know they can pardon any & all federal crimes they may have committed while in office will know FROM THE MOMENT THEY TAKE THE OATH that they’re above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

There are lots of reasons a self-pardon isn’t permitted by the Constitution, but a key question nobody seems to have asked is why pardoning someone in return for a bribe must be forbidden. It’s because the only legal pardon is one granted solely to benefit another, not yourself! — PolitiTweet.org

1.Time to reup what I wrote in WaPo this 7/21: “The Constitution specifically bars the president from using the pardon power to prevent his own impeachment and removal. It adds that any official removed through impeachment remains fully subject to criminal prosecution.” — PolitiTweet.org

Trump fired #ChrisKrebs for saying the 2020 election was legit. Disgusting @JoeDiGenova said he should be drawn & quartered for that apostasy. What will he say should happen to #BillBarr for agreeing with Krebs? Watch this space. — PolitiTweet.org

When will Trump join Giuliani in claiming Barr is clueless when he says the election was legit? Whassup with Barr’s making Durham a special counsel? Can Trump pardon himself? Tune in on @ErinBurnett at 7 ET tonite to hear us discuss these breaking developments. — PolitiTweet.org

@ErinBurnett will be interviewing me on CNN around 7:05 ET tonight about the latest Bill Barr news and about @seanhannity’s plea that Trump should try granting himself a full pardon. Can he do it? How would the validity of a self-pardon be tested? Please tune in! — PolitiTweet.org

“This is not about comparing Mr. Trump to Hitler. . . But the Dolchstosslegende [the stab-in-the-back myth] provides a warning.” Losers persuaded they never really lost are fertile ground for demagogues & dictators. 1918 Germany Has a Warning for America https://t.co/8WoebohTha — PolitiTweet.org

“Pope Francis succored Catholics around the world by shifting to an online Mass in response to COVID-19. His NYT op-ed eloquently argues the common good trumps simplistic appeals to ‘personal freedom’ in protests against justified public health measures.” https://t.co/XfCumDMFFl — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, referring to his string of legal defeats: “You mean as president of the United States, I don't have standing? What kind of a court system is this?" This guy really thinks he’s not just above the law but exempt from Article III of the Constitution! https://t.co/ktz3NN8GCd — PolitiTweet.org

@dorfonlaw & I explain how Justice Gorsuch gave the game away by exploiting the opportunity created by ACB’s replacement of RBG to cast shade on cases like Griswold and Casey and signal a move toward an unhealthy theocracy. Sound complex? It’s not, really. Just read our op-ed 👇🏼 — PolitiTweet.org

A court that insists on preferential treatment of churches while subordinating public health, bodily integrity & privacy is starting to resemble the highest judicial authority of the theocratic and misogynist country in Atwood’s dystopian "Handmaid’s Tale” https://t.co/svEeKx0qLW — PolitiTweet.org
