Judge Nap: ‘It Boggles the Mind’ Trump, Lawyers Thinking in Hypothetical About Pardoning Himself

EXCERPT:

NAPOLITANO: "It causes the president to tweet, legal scholars say I can pardon myself but I won’t because I didn’t do anything wrong. Just the very mention pardoning one self is so contrary to the rule of law, that one can’t be a judge in one's own case, even though the pardon power is absolute. It boggles the mind that the president and his lawyers would be considering or thinking about this even in the hypothetical."
