6/3/18: Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s newest lawyer and contortionist-able-to-talk-with-both-feet-in-his-mouth, explains in a series of interviews that Trump can’t get in trouble, no matter how much evidence the Russian investigation turns up. Under the Constitution, he says, the president can pardon himself!

Let’s try a few hypotheticals to see if Rudy is right. Could Trump invite Special Counsel Mueller to the White House, shoot him dead, and issue his own pardon? Rudy would say yes. Could he jump behind the wheel of a White House limousine and purposely run over CNN reporter Jim Acosta and get out of jeopardy with a pardon? Yes. Could he get a Playboy Bunny pregnant, and when she was eight months along, order her arrested, brought to the White House, and have his personal doctor perform an abortion? Yes. Could he consort with ISIS members to attack Fort Knox? Could he pardon the terrorists and himself for his role in the plot? Yes.
According to Rudy, the Founding Fathers designed the
Constitution so that one man would be above the law.
