if it does happen (Pence is charged then pardoned, will and or could he continue being VP?)

so that Turd can't pardon him. There can't be a pardon until there's a conviction. And once Turd is out, there can't be a pardon. So Turd must be ousted while Pence's charges are pending (between the indictment and the trial).

That Trump can issue blanket pardons, even before a conviction. That person cited a Supreme Court decision.

I don't see any reason from a legal perspective Pence would have to resign if pardoned, although he probably would resign.

Bush I pardoned the Iran Contra defendants before all of them had been tried or pled guilty.

And I am nowhere near clever enough to guess what his strategy will be. Which is a good thing.

then, why bother? Why is Mueller working so hard to find the truth if the truth, in the end, doesn't really matter to anyone in charge, not the PINO, his thralls or his Vichy Congress?

Pardons without convictions, trumpMedia, trumpDOJ, trumpCongressionalCommittees, there are no checks, no balances. trump considers himself and his thralls above the law and apparently there is no one who can set him straight. So, if trump can pardon his thralls, his corrupt family and the Vichy GOP whenever he feels like it and for whatever reason--

Whats the freaking point?

it can maim or even kill an admiinsitration's agenda.

and besides all that, the president can't pardon for state crimes. so in some cases with this administration's sins, the states can take action and those courts can judge.

exactly THE SYSTEM IS FUCKED UP

a pardon before a conviction. More, than can be a pardon before any legal charge is filed (re: Ford pardoned Nixon). However, even under such circumstances, were it to happen, Pence could -- and would -- be impeached and removed from office.

how much more damage could HE do before all this would happen? (removed from office)

That a pardon does imply guilt -- i.e. you can't pardon an innocent person. Most politicians could not function as a convicted criminal. "And now, here's the criminal, VP Pense!" I doubt we'd hear much clapping.

Richard Nixon about that one.

Trump leaves office soon, Mueller will bring charges of conspiracy and obstruction against tRump and he will have no choice to leave, if for nothing else to spare his children and grandchildren a life in prison or worse. Pence will assume the Presidency but only as a figurehead long enough to appoint Hillary VP, he will then be spared prosecution and life in prison by resigning the Presidency in a grand bargain to prevent civil war.
If Pence refuses to resign I could see California and several other states declaring their independence and taking the military resources with them. Washington would likely join California and together they would have arguably the strongest navy in the world with the pacific fleet in San Diego and the nuclear missle submarines at naval base Kitsap.
Trump has pushed our nation to the brink of breaking apart, unfortunately we can't bring back Obama to heal our wounds, the only person capable is Hillary and she must be made President.

Bad fantasy is bad fantasy.

I like it better when this board tries to remain tethered to reality.

Leave a copy of your script with the front desk. We'll contact you.

he (Pence) will continue to be president after tRump is removed?

One-they resign
Two - they're impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate.

Nothing else changes anything.

pence charged ok? tRump pardons Pence ok? (after pardon is Pence still VP?) then tRumped impeached ok? NOW does Pence become president? not disagreeing just trying to figure in my mind the process.

Again, he's VP until he resigns or is impeached. Being charged, not being charged, being pardoned, not being pardoned -- none of it matters.

considering this as a possible theory for them assholes to continue with this shit indefinitly wouldn't surprise me at al
