Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump told Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan he would grant McAleenan a pardon if he were sent to jail for having border agents block asylum seekers from entering the US in defiance of US law, senior administration officials tell CNN.

 

Trump reportedly made the comment during a visit to the border at Calexico, California, a week ago. It was not clear if the comment was a joke.

 

Two officials briefed on the exchange say the President told McAleenan, since named the acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, that he "would pardon him if he ever went to jail for denying US entry to migrants," as one of the officials paraphrased.

Typical. CNN changes wording, their pets jump at it. 

 

Even find it necessary to state "unclear if it was a joke".

 

But doesnt keep Starkiller from yelling Collusion! Lmao

 

I didn’t say collusion SimpleJake. I said obstruction of justice. 

 

If Trump is offering to hand out pardons to anyone willing to break the law for him, that is textbook obstruction of justice.

theres a pretty big difference between spreading them out and forcing them into certain cities with the intent of fucking those cities up. 

 

you also know that there will be some assholes fully funded by anti-immigration folks that get sent there with the task of actually causing trouble in order to make Trump appear right.

This last sentence made me think of the rednecks in that Zohan movie.
