If Trumps Pardons Cohen & Manafort It Will Be For "Trumped" Up Charges.

Trump could claim that his pardons, if they happen, was because they were convicted on "phony" and "trumped" up charges. That the convictions were a miscarriage of justice. They these trials were part of the made up "witch hunt". And that the invalidity of these charges show how invalid the Mueller investigation is.

Now I know that what I have just said is preposterous. However, Trump has nothing to lose because the GOP will say nothing or support him.

We are so far off the rails in this country. Victory in November grows more crucial by the day.
