Hypothetically let’s say he’s given anywhere from 500 to 1500 years in prison by the Deep State. Does anyone know if Trump has the right to grant him a pardon when he leaves office ?

Prosecutors talk such smack

As long as it’s a federal crime, a president can commute the sentence or grant a pardon.

Trump has the power to pardon him at any time during his Presidency. Right now until the last day.

There may be a political price to pay for granting a pardon, but there is no legal one.

Absolutely Trump can pardon him. At the right time, he will... That’s IF he’s ever convicted.

Trump can pardon him at any time, not subject to review by the courts. And no need to wait for when he leaves office – last minute pardons are a Democrat specialty.

If he is convicted...but if they draw the trial out and then take over the house...then they can impeach and Trump won’t be able to save him... which is their strategy....

If they don’t take the house... this will all go away and Trump will pardon him after he is re-elected or on his way out if he is defeated.
