President Trump is mulling an unprecedented self-pardon, raising questions about what federal crime he would pardon himself for. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber reports on Trump's potential legal exposure after leaving office, emphasizing that the rule of law requires any consideration of an ex-President's exposure focus on the evidence, not one's views of the ex-President or his policies. Melber reports on a specific convicted crime that Trump was allegedly involved in, reporting on both sides of any potential case regarding that offense. This is an excerpt from a longer special report. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 12/7/2020.

https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh yes
Right?!?
The whole family is criminal. Why else will he pardon them.
@tu suong I BLEW BILL ORALLY BACKSTAGE
@Pineapple Ninja Lol. You’re going to eat those words really soon. Trump has even talked about it himself brainiac.
@WaterBoardTrump Gitmo
So did clinton.
@PauliDee, TMJ trump probably does not have a laptop, he would not know how to use one
@Tony Young
Ar ar ar.
How old are you? 12?
Donald Trump has paid more money to Stormy Daniels than he did to the IRS.
Geez, he did too 🤦🏼♀️
God what was she thinking,when she bedded down with that orange urangatung,she must of been drunk,or high on drugs.
@Naomi West Naomi, Naomi, Naomi. When did you start being interested in and involved with pedophiles? Is that what you look for in a partner? How many photos of Epstein & Trump do you have above your bed? Does your Tickle-Me Elmo cry?

@Naomi West if you support diaper don you are fine with all 40 allegations against him.
Well, that trump is mulling a self pardon is trump making a confession for once:
– ” Look people; I know I am a criminal ! “
He only commits the best crimes. Huge, tremendous crimes. I tell you once he’s done we’ll all be tired of crimes.
@Twinkie 2 You poor thing! Stop injecting the Trump disinfectant laced Kool-Aid! It is rotting your brain.
@rick lichau Regarding Kool-Aid and rotting brain, speak for yourself!
@camelshit Trump isn’t the one promoting Communist ideals. So your statement is flawed.
@skierpage Your usage of the word accurately is subjective.
Yes they need to take it to court and make an example out of trump lock the crook up
“Trumpism” IS a crime. He’s constantly breaking laws and telling his…”supporters” to do the same. They should all be locked up.
@Tater Girl IGNORE THIS. TRUMPISM IS A DISEASE.
@PauliDee, TMJ no need, they’re killing themselves by not wearing masks 😂
@Paul Vizcarrondo
I dont know any trump supporters not wearing masks.
Then again, my neighborhood is 70 and older.
@PauliDee, TMJ Thats what trump would do to mexicans and muslims if it was up to him, stop playing the victim, one minute reps accuse people on the left of playing the victim card and next minute there playing the victim card. P.s. i think both reps and dems are trash who are in it for themselves and themselves only. Just so you dont accuse me of being a lefty, God forbid i should let human beings dictate how i should feel about morality and important policies.
@Moe Boutari
Garbage.
Yeah… How about crimes against humanity?! Yes he should be locked up, otherwise where is the line?!
@Blind Visionary Just Fyi, I am pro choice. What I do with my body no man will tell me what I can and can’t do. I alone will answer to my maker ,not to another human being .
Yes, lock him up, lock him up. Sound familiar, now the tables have turned. Make fat man run. I don’t think he’ll be grabbing pus** in prison. Lol
@Blind Visionary “Unless of course someone disagrees with you.”
What a horrible argument to use defending Trump. That is projection 101.
@Mortimare77 How about taking children from their parents at the border for one? He owes millions to Russia. GTFOH
@Blind Visionary You sure are blind mf.
That’s why he’s crying fraud he knows he’s going to prison next year
@Nic F Real original. Did you come up with that yourself or did your mom do it for you?
The AG of New York said that Donald Trump will be far too busy in legal affairs to even be able to do anything political. They have been working on different legal matters for years irrespective of just election fraud. His real estate and tax fraud runs deep.
🙏
Goh wow
https://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
oh good
@Nic F Sure, traitor. Sure.
44 days until he’s gone!!!!!
He should not be allowed to pardon anyone including himself.
Pardon or not. Mission Accomplished. The Trump Administration planted Corona virus, in order to take down China.
The world will be blaming China for years to come.
Truth hurts, but truth must be told.

@Beverly Antoniou To pee on him like Stormy?
Exactly what can we believe that comes out of Trumps mouth . N O T H I N G .
Richard Thomas You tell me exactly what can be believed from Fake News!
@Kagan Asmr Why are you here if this is fake news?
Your mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty partisanship and knee-jerk nastiness.
All that evidence , but trump will walk scott free money is king in this world
@Gladis Gamez
Remember when Don said he liked the uneducated? Well, you just proved it with your weak minded acceptance of Trump’s daily deluge of BS crap.
@Gladis Gamez and your still running around claiming that there was some type of voter fraud going on because you can’t believe you’re Great White Hope lost the election you and the rest of his racist politically uneducated cult members are delusional and a total joke 🐑 🤡
@Augie Rockero yes she is I mean if you just read the B.S she is typing with no evidence smfh
@Truthat
Clinton was impeached

I love watching drumpf lose. It’s like he’s a loser, playing the role of a loser, losing. So much losing. So, so satisfying
It is truly a wonderful thing to see and hear.
It’s…alternative winning.
It’s so Dangerous to let a Criminal Run Our Country…
What is even more frightening 70000 Gullible Americans voted for this con man!!
@Aaron Shipman … those are probably the phony ballots.
A stupid one at that.
Trump’s “disgusting people” don’t care—they believe anything, everything the cult leader tells them.
You are disgusting dirty democratic filthy rat
Carol Dunkin You lost, deplorable. Time to slither back under the rock where you came from
@Carol Dunkin ad I’m sure your a lovely, gracious person! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can gracefully say that, yet they’re the problem???
emcanally8 They’re proud to be disgusting. They’re proud to be deplorable. He’s not calling them that, Trump supporters are proud to be disgusting, that’s the point
Christ just stop already with this “individual one”, we all know it’s Trump
I think it’s just repeating what was in the legal documents.
Oh gimme a break Michael, he doesn’t care about his children.
The icing on the cake will be when Trump goes to jail.
James once trump go to jail we all should have street party and hope we all should have a day off
