A lawyer for President* Trump broached the idea of Mr. Trump’s pardoning two of his former top advisers, Michael T. Flynn and Paul Manafort, with their lawyers last year, according to three people with knowledge of the discussions.Dowd might want to accelerate the process of hiring his own attorney who is good at white-collar criminal defense.
The discussions came as the special counsel was building cases against both men, and they raise questions about whether the lawyer, John Dowd, who resigned last week, was offering pardons to influence their decisions about whether to plead guilty and cooperate in the investigation.
Meanwhile, if Abraham Lincoln had a "Team of Rivals", then, by comparison, Spanky is building a Team of Toadies. We'll be lucky if he doesn't order Swedish to be our national language.
Also, Putin's investment isn't paying off very well. His ambassador is, essentially, persona non grata without having to suffer the indignity of being expelled.
