Mini-Thread on Pardons. Tea woke up gamin& #39; this out in his head. Here& #39;s some possible pardon scenarios.
1) Trump pardons himself. This would be fought all the way to #SCOTUS. 50/50 chance SCOTUS let& #39;s it stand so it might be a little risky. This leaves Pence on his own.

2) Trump resigns, then Pence pardons him. This would be the most "legal" approach, and mirrors what Ford did for Nixon. The biggest difference, however, is Pence may be complicit in some of Trump& #39;s criminal behavior and he& #39;d be left twistin& #39; in the wind.
