that his legal staff (including Barr before he left) told him that a self-pardon would be a really bad idea and it could open him up to all kinds of claims and litigation. So now he's pouting. If I can't have a pardon, then nobody can.

Have to wonder with pence and dotard once again playing kissy face if he will resign so pence can pardon him.
