Not *quite* as absurd as "I can pardon myself*"

[conuly]

but nevertheless, a statement like "If a president did something that he believes will help him get elected, in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment" is still remarkably bold. I'm not sure if it says more about their desperation, their effrontery, or their intelligence that they're trying it with any level of seriousness.

* No, you can't. I don't care who you are or exactly what you're trying to pull, you cannot pardon yourself.
