“In several conversations since Election Day, Mr. Trump has told advisers that he is considering giving himself a pardon and, in other instances, asked whether he should and what the impact would be on him legally and politically, according to the two people.” https://t.co/m637BgfJua

Trump’s going there.
This is going to be a race to see who acts first: Congress and their impeachment, Pence and the 25A option, or Trump trying to pardon his way out of this.
I would argue Trump’s pardons carry no effect because you can’t pardon yourself, but he thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room and he isn’t listening to anyone sane at this point.
