Clyburn: ‘Impeachment Will Give Trump Exactly What He Wants ... To Be Impeached Twice’

EXCERPT:

CLYBURN: "No, I am not. I think impeachment will give him exactly what he wants, something that never has been done by any other president before, and that is the first president in the history of the country to be impeached twice. He seems to want to do things that never have done before, and so let’s accommodate him to this extent. These things can go simultaneously. We don’t have to wait on Pence on what to do on the 25th Amendment and move on to impeachment, and there’s an exception to pardons, too, that involves impeachment. The question I would want to ask everybody who are the experts here, if he is thinking about pardoning himself, if he were to impeach him on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday, if we impeach him before he leaves office, can he give himself a pardon if he has been impeached? I am not too sure about that. Let’s take a look at that, and I am not a lawyer or constitutional expert but I know how to read."
