Whoopi Goldberg tells Trump: 'You're not going to run in 2024 if you're in jail, my friend'

Goldberg said New York Attorney General Letitia James is waiting for Trump.

“She is!” agreed former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin. “I would imagine his pardon power is not that exhaustive. What’s interesting to me once you pardon someone like Michael Flynn, that gives people immunity. Michael Flynn could decide to turn against Trump and testify against him. It’s not the best strategy.”

She went on to say she doesn’t think that Trump has fully thought it through. The other problem is that a pardon would mean that a person would admit their own guilt. With Flynn, he already pleaded guilty twice. So, Giuliani’s plea to Trump for a pardon would be another admission of guilt.

“He can try to pardon himself federally,” said Goldberg. “There are all these people waiting. Letitia James is waiting with her foot. She is patting that foot, waiting for him to take a step out. He keeps saying he’s going to run in 2024. You’re not going to run in 2024 if you’re in jail, my friend."

Donnie may well be convicted but he won't do any prison time.

They convict him two or three times over, he might get some home detention.

Probation and fined up the @## yes.
