URBAN: I just think it’s a long, long way, Governor, the tweet — what the president tweeted out wasn’t, I’m looking to pardoning myself. He said, the president’s authority to pardon is complete.
That’s (ph) what it said. So let’s not read — (CROSSTALK)
TAPPER: No. Why would he tweet that?
HAM: Yes. Why would he tweet that?
URBAN: The president, as you heard, I watched your show last night with Michael Smerconish, good lawyer.

URBAN: No, I disagree. Governor, I disagree with you. I disagree completely.
I think the president was simply saying my ability to pardon is complete. Don’t read that more expansively. I’m not.
