I see 3 possibilities:
-
POTUS pardons himself. This would be controversial in Trump fashion, and may or may not protect him.
-
POTUS temporarily relinquishes the Presidency to Vice President Pence, The then President Pence grants Trump a full and complete pardon, then Pence relinquishes the Presidency back to Trump. The risk to this scenario is Pence. Would he actually pardon Trump?
-
Nothing happens and Trump is subject to an endless laundry list of charges, criminal and civil.
Thoughts?
Even pardoning himself won't work. They would just find something else on him. He knows the stakes.
Federal pardon doesn't cover state charges. Piglosi made this clear in an interview...
