I’m more of a commenter than the type to post articles I’ve read - but I’m curious what everyone thinks about this situation. To me, it’s 1) practically an admission of guilt because an innocent person would expect to be vindicated and it would help them win in an election and 2) another attempt to obstruct justice because he’s hoping a Republican (or himself) would be president after the election and pardon him.

Thoughts?

    It’s obvious what the plan is and I personally think that it speaks badly he even has to say it out loud.

    If it was any average American, we would have been buried in the prison system long ago for something barely approaching this level of controversy.

    I feel our political leaders should be held to higher standards, but what do I know.

    Oh he’s going to get approval for this. I guarantee it. That judge is in his pocket deep!
