I’ve read and heard questions about whether a president can pardon himself and comments that it is a question that has never been asked before. That was also the big question being passed around when Nixon was in trouble.
There was a news bit that said Rudy had been discussing pardons for himself, Don, Jr. Eric, Ivanka and Trump, himself. Since they have not been charged with anything yet these would be Prerequiste pardons – for crimes found in the future. They do think if he pardons himself – it will go to court and I guess most experts feel it would not be allowed. So it is also floating around that he might resign so Pence could pardon him. Leave it to Trump to do all of this and his cult followers say he has done nothing wrong!!
The “Tiger King” wants one too. How about the my pillow guy or Maga-nanny? Just sign a blank pardon form so they can fill in the crime later. Trump A Claus is going to be busy. Can’t wait for his after Christmas sale.
I want to see him try to pardon himself. The Constitution appears not to allow it. A President can’t be the judge of his alleged crimes, otherwise he would be above the law.
This is not the first time a president abused this “privilege”, but this is certainly the most blatant in-your-face instance. I would like to see legislation introduced and passed PREVENTING a lame-duck president from issuing pardons between the election day and the inauguration of the next president. Won’t cure the whole problem of abuse, but could somewhat curb it.
Why do these people need pardons? Have done anything illegal or committed any crimes? It sort of speaks of self incrimination doesn’t it. Besides a presidential pardon, I believe, only covers federal crimes, state and local crimes have to be pardoned by the governor of the state in which the crime was committed.
With all the coal Santa will be distributing in GOP stockings this year, the coal industry might actually grow for a change. That’s one promise Trump is keeping.

Every pardon is an admission of guilt! Why else would they need to be pardoned? Duh!

In reality The Donald’s stocking would be much bigger than all of the others, and be mounted much higher than them and in the center…

So Jared (and Ivanka) have Christmas stockings? Well, I guess that runs true to character: Doing anything to get something from the boss.

Note “White Privilege” Christmas cause in no way any Black or Brown people involved (if any) are being considered a pardon.
