The New York Times is reporting that Trump’s former lawyer John Dowd  contacted the lawyers for Mike Flynn and Paul Manafort “floated the possibility” that Trump may pardon both of them.

Dowd resigned last week, but apparently not before he let it be known among writ twits that if Dowd and Flynn didn’t flip on Trump, there would be a pardon in the offering.  Dowd denies it. Of damn course.

I’m not a lawyer.  I am, however, married to one. I also gave birth to one, who also married one, whose mother and father are both lawyers. They all kept telling me that this kind of crapola was happening because anybody who would lawyer for Trump has to be unencumbered by ethics.

Legal experts are divided about whether a pardon offer, even if given in exchange for continued loyalty, can be considered obstruction of justice. Presidents have constitutional authority to pardon people who face or were convicted of federal charges.

This is how screwy DeeCee lawyers are. Regular people cannot offer anything to a potential witness.  However, apparently there are those who think a Washington DeeCee lawyer can. I wonder why the hell that is?  Because they are full of crap, that’s why.
