1. Given his degree of narcissism, yea, I could believe he thinks he's invulnerable.

Which would make any charges filed that much more delicious to watch.

2. To pardon himself he'd look like he was guilty. Biden's been cool and hasn't gone after him yet

He hasn't said much about investigating trump or his kids. Maybe donnie thinks that he's in the clear. I'd love him to slide out on Jan 20 without pardoning his family and then Biden have his ass picked up a few hours later.

3. I cross back and forth between, he's not worried and he's scared half to death.

I know I'd be in a panic, but he's a narcissistic crook who has scammed his way out of trouble his entire life. I am leaning towards him not being worried and then the hammer slamming on him and his whole syndicate. I do believe some of his cronies will do time. Let's not forget about Parnas and Fruman are still behind bars and cooperating. My fingers are crossed.

IF he DOES NOT pardon, at least his family members, THAT could be real interesting. Is he that CRAZY? I don't know!

5. No one's been charged, so I don't know how a pardon would come into play...

Graham may be censured because of his latest interference in GA- and probably other states, including his own, but that wouldn't be pardonable either. I think all these cases will hit the fan once trump and his ilk are no longer protected by the powers of the presidency. I don't think trump will personally do time, but between lawyer fees, restitution, IRS, etc... He and his spawn could be ruined in a year.
