He can’t pardon himself if he wins
In the event he actually gets incarcerated, if he were to win the presidency he could sue claiming being locked up interferes with his constitutional duties as president. I think I know what this Supreme Court would decide on that
If you have the pile of links why not post them? This is just a screenshot of truncated headlines masquerading as a source.
One of the headlines is "Samuel Alito Is Mad You Can't Be Bigoted Towards Gay People Anymore." This could be an article about the current conservative supreme court protecting the rights of gay people, or it could be an article about how the supreme court is planning to strip rights from gay people. I don't know because you didn't actually post a source, you posted a screenshot of a list of truncated headlines.
There is no way in hell he will see a second of jail time. He needs to, but he won't.
Yeah I’m not holding my breath
Part of me wants to just leave America so I don't have to think about this stuff. Another part wants to stay and try to fix it.
But I'm tired.
We should not speak of Trump pardoning himself as if that's a legitimate power he would have, rather than a batshit crazy end run around the obvious intention of the Constitution.
And in any case, he's been convinced to state crimes, and there's no legal theory to support the idea that he can pardon himself or anyone else for state crimes.
No but he could pardon himself on any federal charge. It’s not crazy talk
He won't need to, it'll be his "independent" department of justice calling the shots. Sessions and Barr did everything in their power, without committing actual explicit crimes, to keep Trump happy while they were in charge.
Right? What do these people think would happen? Trump calls in the military to fight NYPD?
I mean, he's such a fucking idiot, I wouldn't put it past him to suggest it.
