re: #279 Dr Lizardo

See, I figure that if Trump pardons himself, it’ll end up in front of the SCOTUS but that doesn’t mean Trump’s in the clear. If he pardons himself, which, after all, means admitting to a crime, NY AG Schneiderman’s office can most likely use that as evidence in their separate RICO case.

Trump can’t pardon for state crimes and it takes an admission of guilt for a pardon to take effect: Simply put, Trump hangs himself on RICO.

And he’s just dumb enough to do it, too.

and if he did pardon himself and the others, how does the “you cant profit from your crimes fit in?

pardon means you did the crime. how do you keep the job you illegally got? what about all the salary you got in that job you illegally got

what about all the side emoluments you generated - controversial or not they are direct result of your illegally gotten the office.

what a shit show

and here we are having to parse these thing seriously
