Steve M quotes the Post.
President Trump is so eager to complete hundreds of miles of border fence ahead of the 2020 presidential election that he has directed aides to fast-track billions of dollars’ worth of construction contracts, aggressively seize private land and disregard environmental rules, according to current and former officials involved with the project.
He also has told worried subordinates that he will pardon them of any potential wrongdoing should they have to break laws to get the barriers built quickly, those officials said.
. . . .
When aides have suggested that some orders are illegal or unworkable, Trump has suggested he would pardon the officials if they would just go ahead, aides said.
He has waved off worries about contracting procedures and the use of eminent domain, saying “take the land,” according to officials who attended the meetings.
“Don’t worry, I’ll pardon you,” he has told officials in meetings about the wall....
I love it when lying pundits solemnly declare that, in America, no one is above the law, not even the president.
Do you think the stooges on the Supremes will let anyone nullify his eventual pardons of his cronies, his minions, his family, and even himself?
And he gets to sit undisturbed in the White House, waiting out his term, solely because the spineless Justice Department has invented for itself the flunky doctrine that a sitting president cannot be indicted - nor even accused, to hear Muller tell it.
