Rump cannot be deciding this pardon thing on his own so

[bluestarone]

Who is stopping him? May i add stopping the mueller investigation here also? WHO is stopping him (names?)

[irresistable]

1. Why would Trump actually pardon anyone?

[ooky]

9. I predict he will pardon himself.

Children too, if any are indicted.

2. Pardon?

Am I wrong, but in order to Pardon someone, don't they actually have to be convicted, or at least charged with a crime?

4. No, Nixon was never charged.

[empedocles]

3. His lawyers probably stopping him now. Doesn't want to risk pardons now.

May well give pardons a shot in the future though.

[marylandblue]

5. As soon as he pardons someone, he loses leverage.

So he has to wait until they prove loyal to the end, like Manafort. But even Manafort is not getting out of jail before the end of the investigation.

[bluestarone]

7. Afraid of state charges also?

Is this another factor?

[marylandblue]

8. Probably. If a pardon doesn't serve Trump's interest, it isn't coming.

6. Supreme Court told him as an unindicted co-conspirator he can't

Issue pardons for these people. Whitaker and other have said they ha e seen pardons but that is the only thing that would explain why none have gone through.

10. Maybe dumb question here. BUT who decides

If RUMP is a co-conspirator? Wonder how this plays out?

[cbdo2007]

11. Mueller has him listed as co-conspirator for Stone and Manafort...

Though that all is sealed so it is up to the supreme Court to decide
