5. If there can be a pardon without a conviction

then, why bother? Why is Mueller working so hard to find the truth if the truth, in the end, doesn't really matter to anyone in charge, not the PINO, his thralls or his Vichy Congress?

Pardons without convictions, trumpMedia, trumpDOJ, trumpCongressionalCommittees, there are no checks, no balances. trump considers himself and his thralls above the law and apparently there is no one who can set him straight. So, if trump can pardon his thralls, his corrupt family and the Vichy GOP whenever he feels like it and for whatever reason--

Whats the freaking point?

Mueller (if he does charge Pence) will time it lagomorph777 Oct 2017 #1

OK I take it back. But I'd guess Mueller has such scenarios in his planning. lagomorph777 Oct 2017 #4

There can't be a pardon until there's a conviction? You might want to ask Gerald Ford and Jose Garcia Oct 2017 #6
I think it'll go down like this.. Abouttime Oct 2017 #11
Zero is too high a percentage for how likely that scenario is. onenote Oct 2017 #13
