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?
Why would trump have to pardon himself he hasn't done anything wrong. What crime would he bepardoning?
Do you have any idea at all how many people are doing life in prison for crimes they did not committ because the cabal wanted them out.
They also aren't billionaire 2 term presidents.
