I'm also going to have Google maps running on my computer main screen this afternoon to see if Georgia blows up.

How can Pence pardon Trump ......

Because:

Trump can't Pardon Himslef, Here is Why.

According to Article II of the Constitution, a sitting president “shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” That may sound like we have already answered the question; however, therein lies a small yet important technicality within that phrase that requires some unpacking. The operative word? Grant.

ecause of this, we are actually asking the wrong question: It’s not about whether Trump can pardon himself, but whether he can grant himself a pardon. This may sound like the exact same question but bear with us. According to context clues from the text of the Constitution and the word’s meaning at the time it was written, the answer is no. He cannot pardon himself. The president only has the power to grant pardons. For context, the same word appears multiple times in various clauses of the Constitution. Every time the word appears, “grant” is a transmissive term meaning it is from one entity to another, reports The Atlantic. It is not used reflexively as in “to grant oneself” a pardon — it is always used interpersonally. 

Comparing a word to its uses in other instances within a historical or legal document is a common technique used by judges and legal scholars to surmise the intended meaning in context. If a court were to base its judgment solely on the context of the word in the Constitution, it would be reasonable to determine that the president cannot, in fact, grant himself a pardon.

Seriously?!

You are using Schiff-for-Brains as a credible source!?!  Flynn should have been pardoned 4 years ago. 
I wonder if you have an org@§m every time you find one of these left wing articles to copy to smear President Trump and anyone who supports him.

He hasn’t been charged with a crime. You can’t pardon somebody when they haven’t been charged with a crime.

Nixon had been impeached and the Senate was about to convict him/he resigned prior to Senate acted  Was not convicted of any crime.Ford;s pardon insured he would be found guilty of any crime he may have commited while president.  Corredt me if wrong.

Ayahuasca can help with this.  Or at least some apple sauce and an afternoon nap.

I think that is what I saigws by the house but not convicted.  Nixon was impeached by the house, as you are well aware it then was sent to Senate where the trial was to be held.  Nixon resigned prior to the Senate acting.  He was chargedby the house but not convicted.  Ford's pardon insured he could not be charged with that crime and any other federal  crime he may have commited while president.
