A Self-Pardon Won’t Save Trump
I don’t believe a self-pardon’s gonna fly.I don’t mean to say that President Donald Trump will not attempt it. He very well might.I also don’t mean to say that it won’t be a big deal if and when he does attempt it. It will be a very big deal.I mean, rather, that a self-pardon will not materially decrease the likelihood of his attempted prosecution by the Justice Department after he leaves office, and may even increase the chances of his indictment.
