Pardon Me? Help Stop President Trump from Doing So

Turns out President Trump doesn’t want to just let Dinesh D’Souza, Martha Stewart, and Rod Blagojevich off the hook.

This morning he tweeted about his absolute right to pardon himself (ALL CAPS FOR EMPHASIS, JUST AS THE FOUNDERS INTENDED!)

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!

Here are 5 ways to help make sure that doesn’t happen

Check out the full list of exactly what Trump might want to pardon himself for, courtesy of our friends at Corrupt.AF.

Call your Senator and your representative (202.224.3121) to urge passage of legislation protecting Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Trump’s Russia ties. There are two Senate bills (S. 1735 and S. 1741) and one House bill (H.R. 3771). Indivisible has a great phone script and guide for visiting your representative's office.

Visit the aptly-titled www.trumpisnotabovethelaw.org, where groups are planning a rapid response to the possible firings of Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. More than 350,000 people have already RSVPd to 900+ scheduled emergency events.
