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)
