Which will only happen if Trump is not elected. If he IS elected, he'll pardon himself (along with anyone he's ever met) and trigger a huge constitutional crisis over pardoning oneself (meaning presidents can break ANY law they want).
I gotta ask, how is mishandling classified documents not a good reason to keep him out of office where he would have more access to classified documents?
My user name probably should have given it away lol
Like, one of the documents he mishandled was one showing a plan to attack Iran. Why the fuck are you okay with the government making plans like that and hiding them from you?
The hope is that if convicted, he's be ineligible to hold office as president. That is not a guarantee as there is no precedent one way or another. More lawsuits, more supreme court intervention, more unknowns.
None of the felonies in New York or Florida would prevent him from taking office. It's POSSIBLE charges in the 1/6 or Georgia cases MAY, but we don't know what those charges are yet, much less when the trial dates will be.
Not only will he pardon himself, he will come after the legal system. This guy is a fucking disaster, how he's free to walk the earth is truly mystifying.
It’s already been decided that presidents can’t pardon themselves. Nixon tried it during the watergate scandal, and got shot down. The bigger issue is that with the way the SCOTUS is stacked in Trump’s favor, they may actually allow him to do it simply because it’s him. Like they’ll say yes, then do some weird nonsensical legal argument for why it should be allowed.
