Ok, lets look ahead to 2024, because that's probably how long we are going to wait for TFG's trial. Then God forbid he somehow wins the election, AND then is found GUILTY of whatever charges. Can he pardon HIMSELF for everything Federal? Maybe THIS would open up a NEW whole can of beans with THIS SC?
