Breaking the Law to Build His Wall

To cite the venerable blog Talking Points Memo, Donald Trump wants his border wall very badly.  He wants it so much that he's willing to pardon members of his administration if they break the law to get the job done by Election Day

 Among laws and regulations that might be broken:

• competitive bids for, and awarding, government contracts to, the lowest bidder
• seizure of privately held property only after adequate adjudication
• diverting funds already allocated to FEMA for disaster relief to help fund his wall
• diverting Pentagon funds to the wall

In addition to all of these being illegal, at least for anyone who accepts and respects the idea that no one is above the law, they also make Mr. Trump a prime candidate for impeachment.
