So now he puts out a sheet (you know, on that site called Shitter) complaining that, as one of the top two finalists in the election, he should have been warned that Manafort was under investigation by the FBI and Department of “Justice”. _Sic_. Not sure what is endgame is supposed to be, putting it in quotes like that. ---

If someone tells you that Trump can pardon himself and/or that he cannot obstruct Justice, please ask them the following; 1\> If Hillary Clinton had been elected, could she have pardoned herself for any crimes? 2\> If Hillary Clinton had been elected, could she obstruct Justice? The reaction will tell you everything you need to know about that person. ---

The original assertion is enough to do that. Mentioning Hillary is just trolling them at that point. ---

> [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > The original assertion is enough to do that. Mentioning Hillary is just trolling them at that point. No, this is a perfectly valid question that places their hated enemy in the same position and asks if they would support her doing it. They say no, they’d just fucking hypocrites and that should be thrown in their faces. They say yes and maybe they’ll have time to think about the error of their ways. They storm off angry, you have your answer. They’re damned hypocrites.
