we are approaching an endgame here
Trump must be smelling the threat of prosecution
and he does have animal cunning, survival trait I suppose
self pardon? the legal opinions I see say it probably won't work
the alternative - resign and get Pence to do the deed
wouldn't it be hilarious to have Pence 'agree' then knife the old Donald in the back?
that's how I would write the final episode anyway

The Rule of Law principle and no person is above the law goes back to the very beginning.

For now, the question would be - Pardon him from what? He has not been charged.

That would be a good ending, Et tu Pence.(the Idiocracy version of Caesar)

Ford's pardon of Nixon was pretty general from what I recall
but then again it wasn't tested, country had no interest in prosecuting Nixon at the time
things are a little different now

Nixon was busted and resigned with impeachment underway.
The NY AG will not charge trump for tax evasion until he's out.

the non federal prosecutions put this in a whole different category
there is enthusiasm to get Trump inside houses of the law
prison too much to hope for? maybe
but a situation where Trump can feel the hot breath of the wolf on his neck? priceless

70 million people voted for Trump, many of them believe the as yet unsubstantiated claims of election fraud. Imagine the chaos were he convicted. I don’t see it happening.

Definitely.

Trump has eluded the law his entire life.
Hopefully it's a case of can't fool all the people all the time.

You guys still don’t get it.
They won’t go after Trump.
If they do it sets a precedent to go after every unpopular president/politician who leaves office ... which is bad if ur in the political class.
What happened to Nixon by the way? Wasn’t he pardoned?

Anyway,
If anyone would care to make a wager with me (zeez u seem pretty confident)
I’ll take ur action.

they are lined up WAITING for chump to lose presidential protections. he will not be prosecuted because he is unpopular, he will be prosecuted for the crimes he has committed. and you still don't understand that. he was a con-man, tax cheat and more for DECADES before he saw his big chance & switched from D to R...he should have been in prison years ago.:good:

. Agnew’s downfall began in the summer of 1973, when he was investigated in connection with accusations of extortion, bribery, and income-tax violations relating chiefly to his tenure as governor of Maryland. Faced with federal indictments, Agnew fought the charges, arguing that the allegations were false, that a sitting vice president could not be indicted, and that the only way he could be removed from office was by impeachment. After the solicitor general released a brief asserting that sitting vice presidents could be indicted, Agnew launched an attack on the administration and vowed not to resign. With Nixon in danger of impeachment for his role in the Watergate scandal, the administration sought to remove Agnew from the presidential line of succession, and secret plea bargaining took place between Agnew’s lawyers and a federal judge. Agnew resigned the vice presidency on October 10, 1973, and appeared in United States District Court in Baltimore on the same day to plead nolo contendere to a single federal count of failing to report on his income-tax return $29,500 in income that he had received in 1967, while governor of Maryland. Acknowledging that the plea amounted to a felony conviction, Agnew declared that he had resigned in the national interest. He was fined $10,000 and sentenced to three years of unsupervised probation.

No, it follows the precedent established in the Nixon admin of going after criminals once they leave office.
That is a very sunny outlook you have there! Playing the victim is a staple of trump-humpery. The systemic attacks on straight white conservative males have to be stopped!!!

why would anyone be fine with those in power committing crimes using our tax dollars to get richer?. This is not a political issue. Its a right vs wrong issue. How many would embezzle from the treasury knowing you could get away with it?. Anyone running for congress or POTUS should have the character needed to know whats right.
