Pardon = Witness Tampering

Pardon = Witness Tampering
Trump preemptively pardoning Cohen is witness tampering by definition. There must be a law to prevent this Executive power from being used in self interest. Any thoughts? If you have no thoughts about this feel free to hurl insults at Cheeto Von Tweeto.

Accepting a pardon confirms the charges.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Just heard Alan Dershowitz say that if Cohen accepts the pardon before trial he loses the right to plead the 5th. He can then be called as a witness and compelled to testify. This will be an interesting circus either way.
