TRUMP INDICTED! TRUMP CONVICTED! GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES! ... and more convictions yet to come!!!

Now, whatever we think of the morals and decency of these folks, they DID know the ins and outs of the structures of power, and that they often took their own conduct to the bitter edges of legally acceptable. If THEY thought that Nixon needed a pardon, and if NIXON of all people accepted a pardon, then there is NO way any of them thought he was “absolutely immune” from prosecution. This is particularly true because of the legal effect of accepting a pardon is effectively the same as pleading guilty. As the Supreme Court held in Burdick v. United States, 236 U.S. 79 (1915)a pardon carries "an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it," .

So, everyone involved, a president, a recently ex- president, two White house lawyers, a Presidential Chief of Staff, and Henry F—ing Kissinger, all agreed that a president was NOT immune from anything and needed a pardon to avoid prosecution under the laws of the United States
