Washington Post -During
his Senate impeachment trial, Democrats repeatedly asserted that
President Trump is “not above the law.” But since his acquittal two
weeks ago, analysts say, the president has taken a series of steps aimed
at showing that, essentially, he is the law.
On
Tuesday, Trump granted clemency to a clutch of political allies,
circumventing the usual Justice Department process. The pardons and
commutations followed Trump’s moves to
punish witnesses in his impeachment trial, publicly intervene in a pending legal case to urge leniency for a friend,
attack a federal judge,
accuse a juror of bias and threaten to sue his own government for investigating him.
