strive for pithiness. land on glib.: thinking today about Roger Stone and his pardon and maybe a secret service agent or two.

RICHARD NIXON: Listen, you all laughed when I said that if the president does it, that means that it is not illegal, BUT WHO’S LAUGHING NOW

Does this ruling affect lackeys and henchmen? If the President orders you to go kill John Roberts is the guy who pulls the trigger still a criminal if the president isn’t?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
