It is compatible with what I guessed at some time ago.So, how many times have we seen four presidents in office over the course of four years during our history? Would it be the first time? I can't speak for you but I'm all giddy about the idea of one of them being a brown skinned woman ( a couple of firsts wrapped into one) I with no experience running anything being given the power to run our country. Is that what you wanted and knew you were getting when you voted a month or so ago? I vote Republican because the Republican side isn't as fucked up or into as much nonsense and mischief as the Democratic side.
He then gives reasons why Trump may not pardon himself or have Pence do it. What he also missed was an intent to maintain control of the Republicans, to link to a TV network, to remain a relevant force. A pardon has been basically is an omission of guilt. If he gets one, he winds up linked to Nixon and discredited among those not rabid red.
Interesting options anyway, and still leaving civil and state charges a possibility.
