If Trump loses in November, can he resign in the lame duck period allowing President Pence to pardon him? Like Ford did for Nixon.
Certainly a possibility, Mr Crow.
But two little problems for Trump re: pardon:
1) it's only applicable to federal crimes, not state, as I'm sure you know
2) if trump is pardoned, then he can still be subpoenaed and forced to testify, under oath, because...he cant invoke his Fifth Amendment right, based on fear of self incrimination. Which means, at least in theory, that he would have to come clean about all his cohorts. ( That means..Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric, as well as all his business and government associates.)
