tRump thinks he can pardon himself...Tom Steyer says NO!

https://www.needtoimpeach.com/trump-pardons/
Earlier this week, Donald Trump tweeted that he has the “absolute right to pardon” himself.

His perception is not only wrong, it is completely counter to one of the core principles of our democracy—that no one, not even the president, is above the law.

My team put together a new video—take a look, and then forward this email to five of your friends and let’s spread our message further. In a 20-page memo leaked over the weekend, Trump’s legal team tries to make the argument that Trump cannot obstruct justice because he gets to determine what constitutes justice. This argument is flawed for multiple reasons, but most importantly because, despite his apparent views to the contrary, Trump is not a king.

Trump is normalizing his lawlessness, all the while claiming he’s done nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. We can’t accept this from any leader. In the face of this unconstitutional behavior, we must unite and resist.

Let’s keep the pressure on, and show Trump we will hold him accountable for his defiance to our democracy.

Forward this email and encourage your friends and family to join our movement:

Thank you,
Tom Steyer
