1. yes but i doubt he will.

Trump fucked him up.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

2. Yes, I believe so.

The 25th is just about his ability to serve as President. Once Pence is President, he would have the same powers as any other President which would include the pardon.

3. I would think so. I don't see why not. n/t

8. Lol, the words in my head. "n/t"

4. I think after yesterday Pence is over Trump.

5. I don't think Pence will.

I really don’t. He doesn’t owe that bastard anything.

9. It did not do Gerald Ford much good to pardon Nixon ...nt

[BlueTsunami2018]

16. No, that's how we got here.

Pardoning Nixon, not impeaching Reagan and not prosecuting W led directly to this moment.

6. At this point, I don't see why Pence would pardon him.

[StarfishSaver]

13. The only way I could see him doing it is if that's the only way to get Trump to resign

But that wouldn't be an issue if they invoke the 25th Amendment.

7. Trump may have pissed on the one guy he really needs

Oopsie!

[NotASurfer]

10. Why pardon the guy who tried to have you whacked? n/t

11. Pence and his wife were almost killed yesterday directly because of Trump

Pence is a total dick, but he isn't going to do one thing for Trump.

Karen Pence was with Pence yesterday.

12. How can you pardon

someone who is unfit to serve? 25th Amendment is not a punishment. It's a determination that a person is too ill to perform duties of the President.

[malaise]

14. Why would Pence pardon him after his life was in danger yesterday from Trump's goons

I hope mother intervenes

[dsp3000]

15. he's spineless, I think it would be to save some kind of face... i dunno what to expect.
