“When the President does it, it is NOT illegal!”
- "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law"
  i suspect someone will try to save this country, and it won't be someone at the top of the current 'administration'.
  
  I would say that's what he meant but from the other side. I don't read this as him excusing himself. I read it as a message to the followers who may "do something"
  
  Yep, he's already proven that he's above the law; this is just stochastic terrorism.
  
  and he just pardoned an army to do those 'somethings'.
  
  Several have tried already.
