    No.

    Nixon was pardoned and wasn't charged or convicted of a crime.

    I get that, but he specifically said multiple times that they don't exist and fact is...they do. He said he had no dealings with Russian lobbyists and he did..even if funneled through his children or associates or cabinet members...that's the web they are trying to unwind...lies are lies...they don't have excuses..Trump is out of excuses. That coupled with a complete lack of transparency with financial disclosures...it smells like shit...throw dirt on it

    Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.

    Again, I'm not a legal expert, but it looks like there is some weird gray area here..

    Or may have committed.

    He wasn't charged with anything at that point. Articles of impeachment were in progress, but not voted on by the House.

    This is simply not true. He's said all along that at least the Miss America contest was held there.

    http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/donald-trump-russia-moscow-miss-universe-223173

    He's also said he has no investments in Russia. Not sure where you come up with this "don't exist" bit.

    I find that a really amazing post for one of my countryman to make. And I do suspect that you actually think you believe what you post.
    But please help me with how the hell you believe you are doing anything logical with this sort of bitch?

    Do you actually think it is possible that the Russians were effective in persuading me to vote for Trump instead of Hillary?
    Whom then do you think was persuaded to drop Hillary and vote for Trump?

    What the fuck help could Trump get from the Russians?
    How did it make a difference?

    Emails?

    You do know the Russians did not write her emails that were leaded by Wiki?

    What possible collusion do you smell? What smells like shit?
    Explain the Turd you threw out there.

    I'm excercising my freedom of speech and making my opinion available to all who see the logic, and there are a lot of us, what's happening in DC is pertinent to our lives....to not voice concerns is what is, in fact, illogical....you have bitched as much as anyone about the Obama administration...it's my turn...worst choice for president in American history...book it

    to understand this you need to flip it....how can the Russians manipulate Trump or his representatives....don't tell me you've never heard of backdoor politics or deals under the table...Trump opened the door wide open for Putin to use it to his advantage.....I'll go further to say it's not "Russians" as much as the Putin machine that concerns us...from what I hear Putin isn't very popular in the homeland either

    Trump is lying Marz.....you've argued against the corner he's in....all that info has been posted ...you either sense it or you don't. Hillary is out to pasture....the dems are on the ropes....the GOP is a mess...time for sensible leadership and don't expect it from Trump...I care about my country enough to give a shit about the loose cannon you guys elected...he's horribly incapable and dangerously veiled.

    Ok, that is fair.
    But the fact is Obama fucked a hell of a lot of us and that is worth a bitch. Numbers wise, it may rival the number of new people the law signed on to insurance. Never called for impeachment though. I did ask how the hell a man that was a Kenyan by law, via the right of decent could qualify as a Naturally Born Citizen? No answers, except Ignore the Natural Born requirement.

    Lies!

    If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance.
    If you like your Doctor, you can keep your doctor.
    It was the vidieo?

    But back to the real question. How the fuck did the Russian get people like me to vote against Hillary? You know I was going to do it! So what the hell is your real bitch? This Russian collusion is
    horse shit and makes you look anti American, if not seditious.

    No, that's no what I'm talking about.

    There can't be collusion between Trump and his staff. There can be collusion between Trump and Russia or Trump's staff and Russia.

    Trump saying there was no collusion between him and his staff is 100% true.

    Actually that could make things much more difficult for him. Giving him a pardon now would be similar to him having the immunity he wanted. But that means he could no longer take the 5th and would have to testify when subpoenaed. If he were to lie under oath or even give incomplete answers he would face new charges that the pardon didn't cover.

    Sure, Trump could give him a 2nd pardon but then that would pretty much mean we're in full on coverup.
