        Of course, but they’ll claim it was unacceptable as he was pre-pardoned. He’s got a very good defence because the idiots went on Fox ahead of this and said they were trying to trap him into perjury. But if it goes to the SC, that’s politically stacked so it doesn’t matter about the constitution or precedent.
