1. I'm divided on this. I don't want him to have a

Pence pardon

[Raven123]

3. Well they could still impeach him.

Cheney does not like Trump and I think the briefings they received made them realize their own danger. I’m guessing she leans on Pence to avoid pardon. Also I wonder if Pence wants to pardon Trump after he was targeted.

7. Pence had that meeting where they were building

bridges and I can see Pence doing the Ford for-the-good-of-the-country thing.

2. After today with him doubling down on thr hate rhetoric...I dont see a resignation happening.

4. He's not going to resign 100% not gonna happen

Jeez.

[moonscape]

5. Even to get a pardon? I think he's rightfully worried on the self-pardon issue n/t

13. Liability

The problem with any pardon is that it opens him up to civil lawsuits for those injured or killed in the riot.

[moonscape]

15. He wouldn't have those anyway? How would a blanket

Pence pardon make him more liable? I didn't think acceptance is legally an admission of guilt. Is it?

[zipplewrath]

20. It would work against him

If he needs a pardon, that means he potentially is liable for something.

12. +1

6. We all know Trump only cares about himself

And he knows how to turn tail if the heat is too much. As his bubble slowly bursts he might just resign, but don’t expect an apology. Just a long whiny crying jag. If he does and tries to make a speech they ought to cut the audio and let him stand there with his lips moving and no sound.

8. The chance of him resigning was zero, and zero multiplied by any other number is still zero.

Trump won't resign.

9. Senate will not move to try Impeachment before he goes

To him, not convicted while in office is a win, and the only one he can expect at that.

Conviction after he leaves, in his opinion, won't count

[JonLP24]

10. It looks like he is speculating

[MineralMan]

11. Norman Ornstein?

He's an arch conservative. Why are we listening to his tweets?

[hedda_foil]

14. If anything he's slightly to the left of center despite American Enterprise Institute affiliation.

[MineralMan]

19. What insights does he have into Trump and the White House

That are better than yours or mine? Why is his speculative tweet with considering?

[lettucebe]

16. The logical adult thing would be to resign. He will not. He is a child.

He will self-pardon and then we'll get that entertainment for the upcoming season of Trumpty Dumpty Took a Great Fall

[sarisataka]

17. Hard to argue with that reasoning

However even if the chances double, two times zero is still zero

[Takket]

18. did i miss something? why would he resign?
