Here is a distinctly anti-Trump spin of the same scenario:Legio wrote: ↑Wed Nov 11, 2020 5:31 amI like the way you think.tector wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 7:13 pm Here's a scenario:
Trump pardons just about everybody you can think of a few days before January 20.
Once these are all official, he resigns.
Pence, in turn, assumes office and pardons Trump. This eliminates the whole "can a President pardon himself?" issue.
Of course Pence would have to be on-board, so who knows about him. And as previously mentioned, this would do nothing to protect Trump from the whims of New York State, which is poking around in his businesses even now. Like the NRA, he should have gotten his legal roots out of there long, long ago.
