Trump says he'll pardon himself

I recently watched a documentary on Netflix titled "Survivors guide to prison" about how to survive in prison. It was an eye-opening look at the injustices happening all over the country.

Today, I remembered the wrongly accused in the documentary upon seeing Trump's morning tweets. Because it seems to me Trump is using the same defense many people in jail wished they could use: prosecutors are biased & corrupt & the whole law enforcement system is broken. 

In addition to the "corrupt law enforcement" defense, Trump has (among the many overwhelming advantages over those wrongly accused), the powers of the presidency of the United States at his disposal. & even if Mueller does find the Donald culpable, the president now says he will just pardon himself: 

Interesting defense which would sound reasonable to unjustly accused people in jail, but one which most people with any common sense would soundly reject. Especially when Trump starts making it a partisan issue (13 angry democrats?) despite the fact the special counsel is headed by a republican (Mueller) who was appointed by another republican (Rosenstein). 

It is very frustrating for those of us who want a fair outcome to the investigation. Because the special counsel should have been headed by a prominent democrat for it to be fair. But it is what it is. Notwithstanding the fact he was initially appointed by republican, Mueller appears competent and impartial. Just don't start complaining & essentially lying about the Mueller investigation when you (Trump) are the most powerful man in the world & someone from your own political party is leading the probe.

A friend of mine recently told me: "Trump thought once he'd been elected president, he'd be able to do whatever he wanted, like a king" which is basically the same thing a recent NYTimes opinion article titled"Trump thinks he is a king" asserts:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/03/opinion/mueller-trump-executive-power.html
"The president believes he is above the law. That’s the takeaway from the confidential 20-page memo sent by President Trump’s lawyers to the special counsel, Robert Mueller, published over the weekend by The Times. And it’s the same sentiment that Rudy Giuliani expressed on Sunday when he suggested that Mr. Trump has the power to pardon himself."

What will be the fallout after Mueller probe is over? It is anyone's guess, but I know law enforcement and the rule of law are in the spotlight. Very few people think justice is fair for the average joe, but most people already think the rich & powerful are "above the law". Therefore, the trust we place into the U.S. justice system will be tested when the Mueller investigation reaches its final conclusion. 
I know Trump's tweets attacking the probe most likely won't change the outcome, but the brazenness of declaring oneself above the law is nevertheless interesting & necessary to discuss.
