And yet nobody on the left batted an eye in 2016 when it was being floated about in the MSM that if elected Hillary could simply pardon herself if she were to be indited.
For instance Dan Abrams, a legal analyst for ABC News (where he spent a great deal of time prior to the election hand waving off all the evidence showing how corrupt Hillary was), did a piece on his website, Law and Crime (which discusses legal issues in the news) laying the groundwork for just such an occurrence called "If Hillary Is Indicted, President Clinton Could Pardon Herself and Congress Might be Helpless."

Obviously we can note that it is not true at all that numerous legal scholars have said the president can pardon himself. Legal experts seem to range from "you've got to be kidding me" to "it's never been tested in court, but I doubt it would work".
But we seem to be getting to the stage where Trump's ready to try something extreme like this. Do you guys support self-pardoning?“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
