Can he pardon himself...seems a bit of a grey area...and opinion seems to favor a 'no'
Could he resign tomorrow and have President Pence pardon him?
Does a pardon apply to legal actions across the board...criminal and civil?
I think the pardoning thing has been covered by others, but i think its as much about Immunity rather than a pardon.
With immunity he can't be charged.
A pardon is generally done after charges stick.....but not always as has been pointed out.
A pardon still does imply guilt in most peoples minds, whereas immunity does less so.
Either way, i reckon trump will take anything he can get....im just not sure if he will get offered anything.
