Showing Original Post only (View all)Poll : When will Trump resign in time for a pardon from President Pence ? [View all]
To me, Trump has only 3 options
- Do nothing, take what comes as regards any Federal crimes he might have committed, gambling that the Establishment won't want to bring that added shame to the country or fearful of dividing an already divided USA.
- Self Pardon, Cipollone and Barr have already warned him that a Self Pardon WILL be challenged, and would more than likely be thrown out by the SC, because it would otherwise, in effect, make a President a King/Be his own judge.
- Resign, in exchange for becoming the 46th President, Pence will agree to pardon him. This is still the most likely eventuality, as it takes Federal crimes off the table. Yes, he would still be liable for State crimes, but he would only be fighting battles on that front. He has no problem with pardons, and he has been laying the groundwork, so why not himself ? The only fly in the ointment, so to speak, is whether he values a pardon for himself over allowing Pence to become President ?
So with that in mind, when will he resign, to take a pardon from President Pence
