    I mean, yeah. Then promptly pardoned.

    That’s the fucked up thing about this. The president can order his people to do things illegally in an “official act” and get immunity. Then pardon the people who do his illegal stuff.

    The “checks and balances” require republicans to oppose their king. That ain’t happening.

      Contempt is not pardonable. They do the time one way or the other if things work out the way they’re written.
