Actually, I think you can do a preemptive "any and all crimes" pre-pardon before conviction. Whether Zero wins or loses in Nov, what disincentive would he have to do that? Impeachment? Please.
You can tell whether an (R) or a (D) is in office because when it's an (R), the politically persecuted innocents who deserve one go begging, whereas if it's a (D), every shyster and pedophile with two bucks to run together (or incriminating evidence) gets one. Bad side is, instead of a pardon, you might commit suicide by shooting yourself repeatedly.
Rub together. Two bucks to RUB together.
A pardon doesn’t do jack for a civil suit, does it?
