RUSH TRANSCRIPT PHILLIP And ░░░░░░░░ us now to discuss ░░░░░░░░ is criminal defense and ░░░░░░░░ attorney Paige pate Paige ░░░░░░░░ situation I guess is ░░░░░░░░ entirely surprising It s ░░░░░░░░ signaled for some time ░░░░░░░░ what is different about ░░░░░░░░ I think a lot ░░░░░░░░ people were expecting a ░░░░░░░░ here Roger Stone said ░░░░░░░░ wanted his extend commuted ░░░░░░░░ he didn t want ░░░░░░░░ admit guilt What is ░░░░░░░░ significance of that PATE ░░░░░░░░ Abby that s a ░░░░░░░░ point I don t ░░░░░░░░ anyone has discussed it ░░░░░░░░ I am certain that ░░░░░░░░ Stone would have expected ░░░░░░░░ full pardon I expect ░░░░░░░░ pardon here Trump said ░░░░░░░░ I m not going ░░░░░░░░ wipe away the conviction ░░░░░░░░ I m going to ░░░░░░░░ too much backlash from ░░░░░░░░ Department of Justice prosecutors ░░░░░░░░ people on the front ░░░░░░░░ so I m going ░░░░░░░░ commute the sentence Now ░░░░░░░░ idea that will stone ░░░░░░░░ still appeal his conviction ░░░░░░░░ s true But there ░░░░░░░░ nothing about that conviction ░░░░░░░░ I can see that ░░░░░░░░ be successful on appeal ░░░░░░░░ result in a new ░░░░░░░░ So I think it ░░░░░░░░ a compromise by the ░░░░░░░░ House BLACKWELL We heard ░░░░░░░░ the top of this ░░░░░░░░ from House Committee intelligence ░░░░░░░░ Adam Schiff I want ░░░░░░░░ to listen to what ░░░░░░░░ Pelosi House Speaker said ░░░░░░░░ limiting the president s ░░░░░░░░ power Watch CLIP BEGINS ░░░░░░░░ There ought to be ░░░░░░░░ law and I m ░░░░░░░░ that we pass a ░░░░░░░░ that presidents cannot issue ░░░░░░░░ pardon if the crime ░░░░░░░░ the person is jail ░░░░░░░░ is one that is ░░░░░░░░ by protecting the president ░░░░░░░░ this was CLIP ENDS ░░░░░░░░ Probably slim chances of ░░░░░░░░ actually becoming a law ░░░░░░░░ rec son style that ░░░░░░░░ the Constitution and what ░░░░░░░░ would take to get ░░░░░░░░ done PATE Yeah Victor ░░░░░░░░ would be an unconstitutional ░░░░░░░░ if it ever passed ░░░░░░░░ the Constitution clearly gives ░░░░░░░░ pardon power to the ░░░░░░░░ It s completely unchecked ░░░░░░░░ there were some objections ░░░░░░░░ that when it was ░░░░░░░░ into the Constitution But ░░░░░░░░ Madison said look it ░░░░░░░░ not a problem If ░░░░░░░░ president ever tried to ░░░░░░░░ anyone he may have ░░░░░░░░ connected with in the ░░░░░░░░ of a crime he ░░░░░░░░ be immediately impeached Well ░░░░░░░░ that s not going ░░░░░░░░ happen in this environment ░░░░░░░░ the idea that there ░░░░░░░░ be a check on ░░░░░░░░ pardon power in the ░░░░░░░░ never made it So ░░░░░░░░ change the pardon power ░░░░░░░░ re going to have ░░░░░░░░ amend the Constitution and ░░░░░░░░ is a huge effort ░░░░░░░░ I don t see ░░░░░░░░ happening PHILLIP It s ░░░░░░░░ you know that ship ░░░░░░░░ impeachment already sailed for ░░░░░░░░ Trump so that threat ░░░░░░░░ not even operable at ░░░░░░░░ moment There s something ░░░░░░░░ President Trump said he ░░░░░░░░ I was under enormous ░░░░░░░░ to turn on him ░░░░░░░░ would have eased my ░░░░░░░░ considerably It really shows ░░░░░░░░ stone had something to ░░░░░░░░ that could have incriminated ░░░░░░░░ president Are there any ░░░░░░░░ consequences down the road ░░░░░░░░ that from that acknowledgement ░░░░░░░░ stone this week PATE ░░░░░░░░ appears not I think ░░░░░░░░ s clear despite the ░░░░░░░░ from the White House ░░░░░░░░ the reasons for the ░░░░░░░░ that the sole reason ░░░░░░░░ the president did it ░░░░░░░░ because he was a ░░░░░░░░ of friend of Trump ░░░░░░░░ had protected Trump The ░░░░░░░░ that they put in ░░░░░░░░ it was a process ░░░░░░░░ he may get sick ░░░░░░░░ jail That applies to ░░░░░░░░ lot of people in ░░░░░░░░ now but they don ░░░░░░░░ know the president And ░░░░░░░░ fact that he lied ░░░░░░░░ something that ultimately protected ░░░░░░░░ president that s why ░░░░░░░░ s not going to ░░░░░░░░ BLACKWELL Page Pate always ░░░░░░░░ to have you sir ░░░░░░░░ Thank you.”
