1. No pardon! Do crime, serve time!

I had same feeling today.

[Blue_true]

9. Unfortunately, if he resigns and Pence pardons him, there is nothing that can

be done on the federal level. I doubt that Joe would reverse a pardon, that would create way too much turmoil, especially given that we need MAGATS to cooperate in getting the nation back rightside-up. I would even expect the New York State case to be settled for a fine instead of going to criminal Court if Trump resigns and is pardoned on the federal level by Pence.

[SheltieLover]

16. You may be right, but it will be an enormpus mistake

To not prosecute EVERY SINGLE ONE involved.

I think this would be perceived as "both parties are the same" argument.

Serious mistake.

[Blue_true]

18. I see your point. If no one goes to jail, then we will see a future variant of

Trumpism, to me, that is the downside to letting him slide if he quits.

[SheltieLover]

24. Absolutely must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!

Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

From chumputin on down.

Stiff sentences & assets seized.

Absolute must.

[AZ8theist]

54. NO QUARTER, DOTURD MUST DIE IN PRISON.

Or our democracy is forever fucked.

[SheltieLover]

30. Also

Must get bad players out of positions of power.

They all must go down.

[lostnfound]

43. Confiscation of his property could still occur, for taxes owed.

Worse than prison, for him.

[Blue_true]

44. That would be good. And yes, that would literally kill him. nt

[AZ8theist]

55. That's just a start.

Tax Evasion
Money Laundering
Tax Fraud
Bank Fraud
Conspiracy
Witness tampering
Emoluments
And last but not least: TREASON

[not_the_one]

59. RICO Money laundering

And he has been doing that since the 80's. As has Ivanka, Jared, Donnie Jr and Eric. They are all part of "TRUMP CORP".

All of his/their assets can be taken.

Letitia James, NYAG should prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.

He should die in jail, and the rest of the klan should spend at least 20 yrs (I'm trying to be kind), and be penniless when they get out.

[chowder66]

67. He and/or his family would scam his way back I fear.

Hell they would probably become Evangelical leaders to shake down the gullible at that point.

[Blue_true]

76. A big time evangelical like Howard Colson, the Watergate wannabe knee-breaker.

Hell, Trump would have tent revivals every other night to shake down MAGAT evangelicals.

[TheBlackAdder]

47. I'm sure as retribution for this perversion of justice, Pence can be imprisoned for something too.

[rwsanders]

61. Does a pre-emptive pardon stand? What if he was charged after January?

[Blue_true]

77. Nixon got a pre-emotive pardon. That ended all legal activity against him.

Nixon didn’t have state level crime issues like Trump has, though.

[Tribetime]

3. No pardon period

[SheltieLover]

17. Right!

Absolutely must prpsecite every single one to the fullest extent of the law, with harsh sentences!

Absolute must!

[mindfulNJ]

4. I don't believe this for a second.

Do you???

[malaise]

6. I don't only believe it - I predicted it

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214173797

[Takket]

7. not a bit......

he can't contest the election (which has about a 1% chance of working but it is the only chance he has) if he doesn't actually GET to the election.

if he resigns, the NY State AG nails his ass to the wall 5 seconds later.

[BannonsLiver]

13. No, I don't believe it

It’s actually kind of ludicrous. Trump is hopped up on roids and is aggressive. Aggressive people don’t surrender. And beyond that, he’s likely been advised by Putin at some point that no matter what, don’t ever cede power.

I’d also mention this guy claimed to have sources on something else over the weekend that didn’t end up happening. I think he just likes to tweet a lot.

It is still plausible in my view that Trump might resign if he loses if he can secure a pardon. At that point the pardon becomes the last big chip he has, as far as any federal charges.

[yardwork]

27. I'm sorry - I didn't read your post before I wrote mine!

It looks like I copied yours but I promise I was thinking the same, not plagiarizing yours!

I guess more than a few of us are thinking that this is all ludicrous.

[BannonsLiver]

34. No worries

I didn’t think I was alone in that.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

66. If trump has to relinquish power temporarily for a medical procedure Pence can alway pardon him.

https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/president-trump-could-theoretically-invoke-the-25th-amendment-and-be-pardoned-by-mike-pence/

This opinion shows that there is theoretically a scenario where Trump could invoke the 25th Amendment to temporarily remove himself from office and be pardoned by Acting President Mike Pence and either resign or resume the duties of his office. Don’t take our word for it, take the DOJ’s:

Under the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case, the President cannot pardon himself.

If under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment the President declared that he was temporarily unable to perform the duties of the office, the Vice President would become Acting President and as such could pardon the President. Thereafter the President could either resign or resume the duties of his office.

Although as a general matter Congress cannot enact amnesty or pardoning legislation, because to do so would interfere with the pardoning power vested expressly in the President by the Constitution, it could be argued that a congressional pardon granted to the President would not interfere with the President’s pardoning power because that power does not extend to the President himself.


While DOJ guidelines do say that a sitting president cannot be indicted, this would protect Trump from facing charges when he leaves office. This kind of a move would be seen as improper to the highest order, but desperate times call for desperate measures. How persuasive would this non-binding opinion even be? We don’t know, this hasn’t been tried before.

[cwydro]

69. I agree.

People have been predicted his resignation for years now.

[yardwork]

25. No. So far Hicks and Miller are still around. He hasn't lost them.

This is kind of ludicrous. Trump doesn't act like somebody who is thinking about quitting. Far from it. He's on a manic narcissistic roid high.

And he's not alone. Unfortunately, he's still surrounded by lots of enablers. Especially in Congress.

[Awsi Dooger]

45. Another sucker thread

Trump will save his worst for last. He's not resigning.

[BigmanPigman]

49. Hell NO!

[yellowcanine]

5. He can resign but he is still on the ballot so he will still lose. I already voted against him.

[superpatriotman]

8. BS

Deep and spreadable

[Indykatie]

10. I Think This is Bogus - He's Facing Serious State Charges That Can't Be Pardoned by Pence

I'm always suspicious of GOP/Republican "scoops" that Dems like Cooper and Garland get before anyone else. If this take is legit Robert Costa have it. He's got the best GOP sources.

[moonscape]

41. Just hope the state charges are enough

to totally bankrupt him, i.e force sale of every property, dig into his kids pockets, etc

[ananda]

11. Good grief!

There are so many other things that Trump can
be tried and convicted for.

In any case, it’s SCOTUS that really matters.

[Roland99]

12. Not so sure of Cooper

Keeps claiming to have all these high level GOP sources

[DrToast]

20. Yeah, I don't buy his stuff

[Cracklin Charlie]

14. No one will go near that guy.

Which of the ones that are left will even sit in a room with him?

He’s toast.

[Chichiri]

19. Advised by who? Some vlogger with 14 subs? Need more.

[Blue Owl]

21. Get a brain, morans

23. Pence can't pardon NY state crimes.

Done. Stick a fork in him after January 20.

[KS Toronado]

58. I don't understand how Pence can pardon him for Federal crimes he hasn't been charged with yet.

[roamer65]

65. That is true as well.

[canetoad]

70. Ford pardoned Nixon

Before charges.

[hatrack]

26. "USA News Agency"?

Whatevs.

[Kingofalldems]

28. Note the title of the OP.

[mnmoderatedem]

29. "resign in honor"

whoa talk about a ship that has sailed

[Solomon]

46. Indeed!

[BarbD]

50. You can't put honor and Trump in the same sentence.

He will leave kicking, screaming and tweeting.

[gristy]

31. From Jon Cooper's tweet to God's ears.

Make it so. :|

[BlueWavePsych]

32. NO PARDON!

[NewDayOranges]

33. The Orange one can talk to Pence about a pardon...

But NY AG Leticia James will still nail his ass for something!

[Cha]

36. Yeah, not to be too cynical but I'll see

"he's done" when he's done.

Not that I don't believe.. I just want it to happen and then I rejoice.. there may be some dancing in the streets.

Also, I guess things aren't going as well with all the Maggot Gaslighting as they act like it is.

[Renew Deal]

38. Is the play to lose the presidential election, without taking down the rest of the republican party?

Will the Trump true believers show up on election day?

[jmbar2]

40. Is this a reliable news source?

Doesn't turn up in a Google search.

[Kingofalldems]

42. Most likey not true, hence the title.

But maybe.

[yaesu]

48. I'm not buying it. nt

[JDC]

51. I'll believe it when I see it.

[Demonaut]

52. lol

[Skittles]

53. HUGH!!!11!!

that still makes me LOL after all these years

[Vivienne235729]

56. How the hell is Pence going to pardon him when he hasn't even been charged w anything?

And lets say Pence can play fortune teller, he can't pardon him from SDNY. So, if this is remotely true, it's just desperation from a maniacal, covid laden narcissist. It means nothing. His campaign IS kaput. We just have a few more weeks to ride this bullshit out.

[canetoad]

71. This

[Celerity]

78. he can blanket pardon him for any past, present, future FEDERAL crimes arising from his presidency

he can do nothing about state charges in re. Rump


Ford pardoned Nixon in this manner

[PatrickforO]

57. Too late for him to resign with any honor at all.

After the criminal shit-show that has been his administration, rife with treason, homicidal negligence, racism, violence, divisiveness, corruption and crimes against humanity, I'm not sure a federal pardon will take care of it for him.

And I hope not. He honestly belongs in a prison cell.

[canetoad]

72. Right on, Patrick

But let him think so. teehee

[mn9driver]

60. Freeper alternate universe source.

There seem to be more of them every day.

[Sogo]

62. Who is Jon Cooper?

[Xolodno]

63. I'm skeptical.

Even if it was true, fairly sure he resigns after the election.

And I don't doubt Pence will pardon him, he chained himself to this dead carcass (won't use hooker, they deserve better respect). So he has no future in politics....other than a token resistance in four years.

And I'll state it again, the state prosecutions will settle out of court or get dropped. Just the way it is. Oh and he'll add at least one more bankruptcy to his name.

[Upthevibe]

64. Kingofalldems...

Thanks for this post. Honestly, I don't know what to think or what should be done....

[aeromanKC]

68. Trump will want to die in Office

[chowder66]

73. This is bogus if you care to dig a little. Check out the website address in the twitter handle

over at twitter. It's expired. Once you start digging you will see what I mean.

I hope I'm wrong.
