Question: What do we do if tomorrow morning, Trump pardons everyone.
Unconditionally. His idiot son, Kushner, Manafort, Flynn. The whole lot, top to bottom, even the Russians.
I posed this question in response to an O/P, and got very little in the way of response. But we all know Trump as no moral scruples whatsoever, so why wouldn't he pardon everyone? Game over, investigation done. Does he give a shit how it would look? All that would be left possible is his own impeachment, and the GOP has shown no inclination to go there.
So what would we do? I think we'd better consider this as a real possibility.
Love to hear everyone's thoughts. As far as I know, the President's pardon authority is total and cannot be overridden.
