re: #194 Targetpractice
I think of the three scenarios (25th, impeachment, self-pardon), I think the third is the likeliest. I’d even propose a fourth, which is the one that’s been discussed in the past: Trump resigns just before the inauguration and Pence issues a pardon as part of the bargain.
There’s no damn way Pence will pardon Trump now. There was a chance earlier, but after this week, Trump despises Pence and has made no secret of it, and Pence, while he isn’t willing to take calls on the 25th Amendment, is not about to give Trump a free pass.
