Will Trump pardon himself?

Will Trump pardon himself?

  • Total voters
    58
  • Poll closed .
I was a little surprised that the poll results strongly favoured a self pardon.
However the second impeachment is the difference, while there are proceedings underway it seems a self pardon is impossible.
 
No. Benefitted from voting late, but reporting is out there that is suggesting that Trump sees a self-pardon as risky, as it might provoke squishy Republicans into convicting at an impeachment hearing.

4.5 hrs left, no self-pardon yet.
 
I voted yes, but I think I was wrong.

Unless he really is waiting until the very end.

I don't think he can secretly pardon himself. Can he?

I'd imagine the bigger danger than impeachment would be that federal criminal charges are just a small part of his legal trouble. His best bet to stay out of jail is that there is Trump fatigue once the proceedings get stretched out enough and it becomes a big enough headache so deals are struck that leave him not in jail and living on some sort of stipend.

If he self-pardoned it would substantially increase the will to see him convicted and punished in state court.
