Knowing how self interested dRump is . . . I'm wondering how fast he will turn to issuing pardons

for himself and his minions? He only has about 70 days til he is ousted. My thought is he will either self-pardon or resign and have Pence pardon him - so he doesn’t have to appear on the dais at the inauguration. But what of the likes of Flynn, Manafort etc?

Good question, but is a self interested person the likes of him even care about pardons for others? Thekaspervote Nov 2020 #1

What benefit would he get from issuing pardons? comradebillyboy Nov 2020 #2

He doesn't care if Flynn and Manafort go to jail. They are of no further use to him.
