6. What harm will come to trump if he is not pardoned?

NONE. WHATSOEVER. The potential to be held legitimately to account and punished for wrongdoing is not HARM its justice. And trump wants nothing to do with Justice. Nothing to do with fairness. Nothing to do with integrity. That’s the anthem of the Republican Party. No Justice for us. For Gods Sake No Justice for us.
