(17,865 posts)It would be far worse than Ford pardoning Nixon. In spite of all the crap that Nixon pulled, he still was a public servant for most of his career and was not driven by greed. Once the cult figures out they can't get what they want from Trump or figure out he has been deceiving them all along, they very well might turn on him.
Perhaps a health emergency can be dreamed up that would elicit enough sympathy. Also we might be going back to the status quo where US oligarchs are not prosecuted for their crimes. That is the default position right now with the Republican party.
In fact I would like to see Mueller or someone like him go after additional US oligarchs who flaunt our laws. I think far too little effort has been done in that case. This money laundering is being done by lots of other people besides Trump.
