New York state’s attorney general made a stunning prediction on The View Tuesday.
While discussing the post-Jan. 20 legal prospects of President Donald Trump, New York AG Letitia James — who is currently pursuing a civil investigation against the president, while Manhattan’s district attorney has a criminal investigation ongoing — said she believes the commander in chief will take a stunning preemptive measure to try to cut future criminal charges off at the pass.
“The vast majority of legal scholars have indicated that he cannot pardon himself,” James said. “What he could do is step down and allow … Vice President [Mike] Pence, to pardon him. I suspect that he will pardon his family members, his children, his son-in-law, and individuals in his administration as well as some of his close associates. And then I suspect, at some point in time, he will step down and allow the vice president to pardon him.”
James went on to note, though, that even if Trump takes that shocking step, and Pence goes on to pardon him, such an action cannot shield him from potential legal consequences in the Empire State.

In other news, Orthodox Jews are having bricks thrown at their heads by black folks in Crown Heights, Orthodox women are having their wigs pulled off their head by black folks in Williamsburg, Orthodox men are being chased down and mugged in Boro Park by black folks, and this primadonna ignores all that and solely concentrates on President Trumps PRIVATE tax returns from 1984. Oh yes, taxpaying citizens feel so safe knowing that this political hack is pouring over the Presidents paperclips and coffee cups.
In January 2017, Obama surprised Biden in giving him the Congressional Medal of Honor. No particular reason. And no reason for Trump / Pence to do similarly.
I hope she’s right!
Will the AG does put her job on the line – if she is wrong, then she quits? If not, then the alleged prediction is simply more evidence of politically motivated attack.
It’s actually not a bad idea.
Although a brilliant move it will likely destroy Pence’s chances of a successful run in 2024 – the American people will not forgive him. They’ll consider it tyrannical.
ha pence has a snowballs chance of winning moderate and independent voters. he would never win the presidency. pence was trumps pick to legitimize himself in the Christian rights circles thats it. but on his own pence would sink.
Aside from the fact that it’s simply nonsense to assume Trump will resign so that Pence can pardon him, it also seems amoral for an Attorney General who is investigating someone to make predictions about that individual’s plans to get himself a pardon. It is a clear indication to me that this AG is not an honest AG, but rather a political hack, who is pursuing someone out of her own political bias, and not for the sake of truth and justice. But sadly this is what is happening to our justice system today. It’s sad.
The only prediction that came true is coronavirus, predicted in 2017 by the US and other global governments, and voila! 3 years later coronavirus replaced every single sickness and injuries in the world. Now that’s a prediction.
Pence, where is he? When was the last time anyone saw him or his wife?
