Donald Trump looks the most like a cartoon from The Wall that anyone can ever look.

"Trump has asked his advisers about his power to pardon aides, family members and even himself in connection with the probe, according to one of those people. A second person said Trump’s lawyers have been discussing the president’s pardoning powers among themselves."
Here's the thing, tho: He keeps insisting there was no wrongdoing. If that's the case, why does he need to pardon anyone?

Spitballing here (Thanks Bammer!) but if the campaign was compromised, wouldn't that also include Pence? I mean if this happened, he benefitted as much as Trump did. But then I guess it comes down to legal wordings and he could just claim ignorance, right? I mean about this specifically, not his usual general ignorance.

I would imagine the Vice President (or VP-elect) is there mostly in part so that he/she can claim plausible deniability for a lot of things.

In the unlikely event that Trump is removed, this will probably be the Democratic line, I think (i.e., Pence is just as compromised, let's hold up his nominations, appointments, agenda, etc.).

I wouldn't be too happy, his replacement will likely be much, much worse.
