ever happen. i would refer you to personal attorneys to comment on anything specific regarding that case, but we don t have anything at this point. we do, however. joining us are kirsten powers, david urban and carrie sellers. just from a legal standpoint, the president s power to pardon is pretty absolute. it is. executive power for the president, a pardon is one of the fundamental exec ty powers th executive powers that he has. we don t even know what michael cohen might be charged with. if he s charged at all. we should point out he hasn t been charged nobody has charged him yet, so there is a little bit of anticipation of going towards the pardon power. the only limit, and correct me if i m wrong here, on a president s pardoning power is if it s done in order to buy somebody s silence, correct, or
lived and we talked to a neighbor carrie sellers who lives across the street and down the road from the gibbons house. she said she actually heard and then saw part of what happened to mario gibbons in 2013. i asked her what she heard and saw and this is what she had to say. that night it was 2:00 in the morning and i just heard this loud extreme like i didn t do anything i didn t do anything. man, what are you doing to me? and i peeped out of the window and then i realized it was him. and i saw two officers like standing up white officer and black officer and i could hear the voice on the ground. i came to my door and looked out the door and i realized that it was mario laying on the ground. he kept saying what did i do? what did i do? you knocked on my door and you just snatched me out. you tased me. and thomas apparently what
happened was the girlfriend of mario gibbons brother, the ex-girlfriend is the one who called 911. but when police arrived at the house they were looking for the brother but got mario instead. bun of the things that s significant about that there s a significant difference in the height of the two brother. mario is tall and brother is 5 5 . so the ex-girlfriend was witnessing what happened and yelling it s not him. you got the wrong guy. according to the complaint, the officer who we know is the same officer, officer slager continued to tase mario while he was on the ground. so i also wanted to ask because the officer was in fact cleared in this incident whether or not he was fighting the officer orangeor angry, this is what the neighbor had to say about that. and when you saw this incident happen did mario seem afraid, seem angry? he seemed more afraid and little angry.
let s go to the latest on the investigation of the north charleston police officer charged with murder and walk you through the latest. investigators could be releasing the dash cam video of officer slager at any moment. it could shed more light into the moments during michael slager s traffic stop of walter scott for broken brake light. slager has hired a new attorney charleston defense attorney savage. we re learning more about the background which does include a complaint for improper use with a taser. he was exonerated from that. gibbons is the man who had the run-in with officer slager and a neighbor who witnessed that event talked with joy reid. take a listen. he kept saying what did i do? you just knocked on my door as soon as i came to the door you snatched me out and tased me. what you tase me for? i didn t do nothing.
