Pardons on the basis that they there had supposedly donations made to the clinton foundation for the pardons of mark rich. i believe clinton did that for other reasons that had to do with mideast diplomacy. but certainly at the time he was -- the theory was and it was articulated by a senator at the time named jefferson sessions, that the president upon leaving office could be prosecuted for the corrupt misuse of pardons. i think theres a strong possibility that if trump did something like this,...

Is this white house now hurdling towards a confrontation with bob mueller in the end? >> i think you see both with the mueller case and with this discussion of pardons you see the president and the white house laying the ground work for taking those -- possibly taking those steps. the president has been attacking the bob mueller investigation as partisan, calling it fake news, saying there never should have been an investigation so that lays some political ground work i think for moving and keep...
