1. Can a president pardon someone before the trial?

If Jared is arrested can Trump immediately release him and close down the whole investigation?

2. Yes, Ford preemptively pardoned Nixon after he took office.

5. Then couldn't Trump just pardon Jared, Flynn and anyone who's arrested in the Russian scandal?

Thereby preventing any trials and preventing any definitive evidence from being exposed?

Sure it makes him look guilty as hell but the Republicans have demonstrated that they will just look the other way and let him destroy our country for his own gain if it allows them to remain in power.

3. I don't know if drumpf can pardon Kushner for espionage, treason, both and maybe more.

6. And if he did, I'd think that should be immediate

grounds for impeachment. If we're talking treason/espionage.

7. yup. as good as admitting guilt, esp if he does it before trial.

4. Only if he has something to gain

by doing so. Or, in his case, if it would protect him somehow.

8. Yes. But then we will see the IC double down on The Donald.

9. He'll pardon everyone and himself for good measure. nt.
