That's great, but it would likely require an explicit quid pro quo. A link and a nod or a lawyer to lawyer confab would not cut it.

William Barr, President Trump's nominee to serve as attorney general, said on Tuesday that it would be illegal for a U.S. president to pardon an individual if that person agreed not to incriminate the commander in chief in a criminal offense.
"Do you believe a president could lawfully issue a pardon in exchange for the recipient's promise not incriminate him?" Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) asked Barr during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"No, that would be a crime," Barr said.
========================================
I'm sure this option has either crossed Trump's mind or been discussed among his legal defense team.
Barr is pooping all over the President.

Has anyone else notice the startling difference between how Barr is comporting himself and the way he speaks and how Kavanaugh did?
Yes, Barr is giving good answers.

I hope he has principles, and stands by these answers. I don't know a lot about Barr, but from what little I have seen, he seems to be OK.

Ok but...Barr suggests Mueller’s long-awaited report might not be made public.
I ask you why am I not surprised ?
I think this in the right's (GOP) DNA...cover-up ? There is no other reason to keep Mueller's report classified.

I hope he has principles too; and corrects any impropriety he discovers regarding Mueller's investigation. Including filing charges for crimes committed by Mueller's team.
Are you saying that misconduct on the part of the Mueller team should be ignored?
What particular misconduct would that be?
I guess we'll know that when/if Barr discovers it.
So you're just dreaming?
Hence the laughing gif!
