Steve Cohen: If Trump Abuses Pardons and Obstructs Justice, ‘Remedy’ Is Impeachment

RUSH EXCERPT:

COHEN: "I think no doubt it does, the same with rod blagojevich and Martha Stewart. I was randomly talking with one of my colleagues a week and a half ago, and something came up about a pardon, and he said to me, we’re going to show you what pardons are all about real soon. And this is a fellow who talked to the president on a regular basis. I don’t know if he necessarily knew what he was talking about, but I suspect he did, and what he was saying was basically we’re going to have like a Saturday night massacre when there is going to be several pardons in one day. I think manafort knows it, I think Michael Cohen knows it, I think others know it, I think Robert Mueller probably knows it and it’s an obstruction of justice case. The president can issue pardons per the Constitution. It’s unlimited power. But if you abuse the power, and there can be an abuse of power, the remedy of that would be impeachment. Some say you can’t talk about impeachment, but you have to talk about impeachment when the Congress has been impugned, and if the pardoning power is being used to obstruct justice in this case, which I see happening, the resolution, according to the federalist papers, is impeachment and it needs to be talked about."
