Will Trump go to jail when he is no longer Potus?

Hello Nordberg,

Bannon said his biggest problem is money laundering. He escaped with his robbing his charity and bilking rubes with Trump University. Trump may never pay for his malfeasance.

A majority of society yearns for the day we are rid of Trump. He does far more harm than good. He is a net loss.

For instance, taxes are low, but not enough is collected to pay for the government. His legacy will be immense and irresponsible needless debt.

If he loses he can pardon himself before he leaves office for any crimes that may have been committed.

"do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9,1974.

Nixon could not pardon himself, stupid. Your suggestion is unprecedented and defies common sense, though that's no impediment to you.
By your logic Trump could murder his wife and use her blood to ink his quill to write the pardon. :rolleyes:

Forget just potus, where anywhere in the law is authority given to forgive oneself for criminality, misfeasance, malfeasance or negligent omission?

And what crime will that reveal?

If I were to guess, I'd say tax evasion, but that remains to be seen.

Maybe they'll find something in there that will lead to racketeering charges, too.

All kinds of possibilities.

Let's all keep our fingers crossed that it's a bountiful harvest.

Typical example of a poster who uses insults when he doesn't know the answer to an issue.

I would agree the president probably can't pardon himself, but that is something we do not know at this time. The DOJ suggested it could be done using the 25th Amendment.

"The legal and constitutional ability of a president to pardon himself (self-pardon) is an unresolved issue. During the Watergate scandal, President Nixon's lawyer suggested that a self-pardon would be legal, while the Department of Justice issued a memorandum opinion on August 5, 1974, stating that a president cannot pardon himself. The 1974 memo laid out a scenario in which, under the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the president could declare himself unable to perform his duties and could appoint the vice president as acting president. The acting president could then pardon the president and "thereafter the president could either resign or resume the duties of his office."

The issue re-arose in 1998, during the impeachment of President Bill Clinton."

Unlike Mueller, Trump cannot as a practical matter fire the entire southern district, which comprises about 150 career prosecutors, as distinguishable from political appointees. Unlike Mueller, the southern district is not constrained in what it might investigate by a narrow authorization. And unlike Mueller, the southern district does not report, on most matters, directly to the attorney general, who is appointed by the president and who might act at the president’s bidding, though norms of justice department independence proscribe that.
