Trump attorney says that president is not talking about pardons, while at the same time his new spokesperson is saying he JUST had a conversation with Trump about pardons.

Courtesy of Red State: 

The president in that tweet stated something that is rather unremarkable, that is, under the Constitution, Article II, Section 2, the President has the authority to pardon. But, I want to be clear on this, George, we have not, and continue to have not, conversations with the President of the United States regarding pardons. Pardons have not been discussed and pardons are not on the table. With regard to the issue of a president pardoning himself, there’s a big academic discussion going on right now, an academic debate. You’ve got Professor Tribe arguing one point, you’ve got Professor Turley arguing another point, and while it makes for interesting academic discussions, let me tell you what the legal team is not doing. We’re not researching the issue, because the issue of pardons is not on the table. There is nothing to pardon from.

Well there you go then. This is all just made up fake news that is not backed up by any fac.......wait what just happened?

Courtesy of Raw Story: 

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace asked Scaramucci why Trump tweeted about his “complete power” to pardon last week if no crimes had been committed. 

“Why even talk about pardons?” Wallace wondered. 

“This is one of those things about Washington, the convolution and the nature of things,” Scaramucci explained. “I’m in the Oval Office with the president last week and we were talking about that, he says he brought that up, but he doesn’t have to be pardoned, there’s nobody around him that has to be pardoned. He was just making the statement about the power of the pardon.” 

“Now, all of the speculation and all of the spin is he’s going to pardon himself,” he added. “The president does not need to pardon himself. And the reason he doesn’t need to pardon himself is he hasn’t done anything wrong.”

Sooooo Mooch was in the Oval Office talking about the subject that his attorney swears has never come up?

Well good thing we got that cleared up.

By the way his Mooch guy seems to essentially see his job as similar to the job performed by the spokesman for the North Korean dictator.
In other words his Trumpiness is perfect in every way, and any claims to the contrary are to be ignored as "fake news."

Oh this should be fun.

    I think their not keeping all the stories straight is intentional. Trump likes being disruptive and that is totally how he is operating - on a daily basis.

    Get him out of the presidency, Republicans! He is NOT good for our country and Americans.

    I deplore his black soul!

      I agree with you that not keeping their stories straight is intentional. It is easier to control people by keeping them knocked off balance which is served by constant tumultuous chaos.

      Yep. Keep the journos off-kelter, and if one of the inofficial official versions is proven incorrect, then the WH can claim - again - just how 'fake' the news are...

    Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) explained why Trump is freaking over the special counsel looking at his finances. The entire Trump Organization, meaning the Trump family could have been laundering money for Russia.

    Trump has become the "Whiner in Chief". What a sorry excuse for a man. Way past time to get his sorry butt out of the white house, Republicans!

    Damn, but I wish Hillary Clinton were POTUS. This current idiot is a joke to our country and the world!

      Your "SNL Senator" is a Harvard graduate and he's right that Manafort and Kushner should be required to testify under oath when they appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Otherwise, it's pointless to listen to a word either of them says.

    All I needed was ten tweets reported before I even got out of bed this morning, and I read them in an Alec Baldwin voice.

    Can NO one take his "twitter on the shitter" away from him? He just digs himself deeper.

    In Trumpspeak does "pardon" means something different from what real people think the word means? As far as I know, a pardon is a pardon is a pardon. And why would Trump be so worried about being able to pardon himself and his family if neither he nor his family has done anything wrong? Too much to worry about on a summer Sunday evening.

    Trump loves to have people even dumber than he is around him. He picked a winner. The guy looks like he stepped out of a 1965 BrylCream commercial and into the office of The Godfather. Perhaps he did. But lying on day one? More than once? My my. Next he'll be telling us that Trump hasn't played golf 42 times in six months at all..no, he just went to the golf courses to check up on the food. And look for 'proof' of him 'coaching' Junior's soccer team 30 years ago, and Ivanka surely played softball or cricket or tennis, and Donnie was fully qualified and had plenty of time to spend with the kids, right? My God. The GOP is sick. Painting this creep as normal and honest and patriotic. It is evil.

    The so-called president already told the world he definitely IS talking about pardons.

    I think the reason for the sky-high turnover in WH staff is accumulated self-loathing to the point where self-preservation becomes necessary.

      Melanoma is happy, because the press is not interested in her at all, only in 'how beautiful' she looks in her 'awesome' dresses that show her bare shoulders all the time.
