    Never going to happen Trump could not accept that he has ever done anything wrong, he would rather go to prison than admit he was less than perfect!

    That’s not the way he will see it.
    I suspect he knows that he does things that are illegal, but he doesn’t think it is wrong for him to do them. He would not hesitate knowingly to break the law if he thought he could get away with it, and granting himself a pardon is a perfect way to get away with anything he has done in the past.

    He will pitch it differently to his supporters. He will say that the last 4 years has shown the Democrats to be corrupt people who will do anything to bring him down and the only way to protect himself from another witch hunt will be by granting himself a pardon. All BS of course, but his supporters will eat it up.

    He’s also a coward so he’ll try whatever he can to save his own skin.

    #DiaperDon would turn state’s evidence and rat out his whole family and administration if it could keep him out of jail.
    The orange dotard only cares about himself.

    Lol...now the justice department is investigating trump’s pardon-for-a-bribe scheme that he has been using to milk a bit more dough from his time as con artist in chief.
    You can’t make this stuff up.
    Is there anything about trump that isn’t fatally corrupt?

    I'd think the OP of a thread would bother to do that. One thing to have an opinion with no link, but this goes beyond opinion into a specific claim.

    I mean, we'll see where this ends up for sure. It's just funny the hoops one jumps through to support Trump. Somehow there was massive fraud that changed the election results, despite there being ZERO evidence for this massive undertaking. But then when there is an actual investigation into possible wrongdoing by Trump, well that's all made up and blah blah blah.

    All that mental gymnastics must make for some great cardio. lol

    Of the three, I suspect only Kavanaugh might feel an obligation.
    But honestly, I doubt a single SCOTUS judge will rule in favor of trump on election fraud issues.

    How often have you been taken in by unnamed sources in stories like this?

    Stories from CNN and other reputable media outlets that are based on unnamed sources almost always turn out to be entirely or largely accurate and are almost never disproved.

    If you think this is a fake story, it must be your position that no people close to trump will get pardons. Let’s wait and see.

    So three possibilities:
    1 no people close to trump get pardons, you might be right and this was fake news
    2 no people close to trump get pardons, but it was seriously under consideration and this story is true
    3 people close to trump do get pardons and this story is true, which disproves your cry of “fake”

    So what are we calling the conspiracy here? That Trump is looking to pardon himself, Rudy, family and others? It is your contention that he will not pardon himself or family?

    Dems are sore losers, dems are also sore winners. Dems have already declared that they would start a vicious and vindictive witch hunt and fishing expedition against every member of Trump's administration.

    Trump absolutely should pardon everyone, this will kick the teeth out of Dems' fascist plans of endless persecution. The left's meltdown will be spectacular when they realize they can bark but aren't be able to bite.

    4. Someone tried to bribe the presidency for a pardon and got caught and this story is true. Because only in liberal Democrat La-La Land is the victim of a bribe the guilty party.

    This thread isn’t about bribes. It’s about people close to trump asking for pardons.

    Trump wont pardon himself because he knows that he will never be prosecuted for anything. We will never prosecute a former president for crimes while they were president. That requires politicians to make that happen, and they will never cave on their own for fear of being caved in on. Its a very slippery slope for them, and they know it. But their is also the question of the legality of "crimes" by a sitting president, who has immense legal powers.
