I ask Ted Cruz if he agrees with Trump that the president can pardon himself. Cruz is silent for eighteen (18!) seconds before telling reporters it’s not a constitutional area he’s studied.
Alright, folks. Here's the audio
Big thanks to @rking_19 for prodding Cruz for an answer after we walked in silence waiting for him to respond for 15 seconds
If you listened to this audio it means you have to read my article now. Look, buddy, I don’t make the rules. weeklystandard.com/haley-byrd/sen…

THREAD: I’ve put together a mini Midterms version of the Trump Fundraging analysis, focused mainly on the last few days before Election Day (Oct 29-Nov 6). Please RT!

#Trump #TrumpEmails #Midterms #2018Midterms #2018MidtermElections
From October 29th through November 6th, I got 27 total emails. That’s exactly 3/per day, WAY above the 0.896/day average throughout all of 2018.

I chose Oct 29th for this thread because that’s when they really started picking up.
“Donald J. Trump” dominated the From field most of Oct. In the week before the midterms, they switched to a big mix of surrogates: Donald Trump Jr. (1st email of 2018), Eric Trump (8th), Melania Trump (5th), Lara Trump (23rd), Newt Gingrich (12th), & Brad Parscale (12th).

I’ve spoken to many U.S. senators about the president’s extraordinary claims on pardons, his legal team’s arguments on obstruction, and the constitutionality of the Mueller probe. 1/ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
What I didn’t find: Any senators defending claim of Trump’s lawyers that a president can’t be guilty of obstruction for stopping an investigation or pardoning people because he’s the chief law enforcement officer.
Senators who voted to convict Clinton for obstruction of justice, like Moran and Shelby, don’t buy idea that a president can’t obstruct an investigation. Moran said obstruction’s an impeachable offense. So did Lindsey Graham, who helped lead the impeachment of Clinton.

On the question of whether a president can pardon himself, we're seeing an abundance of knee-jerk partisanship and dishonest journalism.
Virtually every Dem is saying "of course not, the president can't pardon himself (mostly because we hate Trump)." On the other hand, some Rs are saying "of course the president can."
If we were actually focusing on the Constitution, the answer would be more complicated. The text of the Constitution provides, the President "shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."
