I don’t think he gave one for himself though. Too arrogant to think he’d need it. The only problem I really have is because it’s secret. The federal government will spend months and lots of money for investigations and when charged he pulls out the pardon and yells, “psych!” He’ll do it that way too. I have no doubt.
