There have been a lot of threads about Donald going to jail but I haven't seen the actual charges.

What does Trump want to pardon himself from?

thanks.

Intimidating witnesses, and retaliating against wistleblowers.

Calling for the same protests and civil disobedience he complains about, in the event of his loss, while sitting as president. Been calling for a coup for weeks now

Profiting from foreign money while president

Tax evasion

Knowingly employing illegal immigrants at his businesses to boost profits

The deaths he has caused by lying to his people, even now, about covid 19.

Edit: almost forgot. Bribery, coercion, and fraud

One for sure is being 'Individual 1' in a election finance scheme with Cohen to pay off Trump's hookups so they wouldn't leak at the same time as his attempted rape confession on Access Hollywood.

Also wrongful firings to cover a crime is not a legal reason.


Mueller explains why a crime has not been charged against Trump, so he can't actually pardon himself I don't think yet.

I have a feeling nothing actually happens in the end. There will be plenty of bluster on both sides, maybe even a court proceeding, where he retires as another millionaire former President.
This is what I see happening, I hope to see some prosecutorial honesty, but in the end nothing will happen to trump,

I found this (but didn't take a long time checking everything in it) might be a interesting starting point at finding the laws Trump broke:

Maybe, lots of rich white guys have gotten off throughout history. But my educated guess would be if Trump is not POTUS in late January 2021, 12 Americans will be able to decide for themselves if Trump is guilty or not.

He's an ugly, self serving, lying racist piece of shit.

And if you can't jail him for that, you can certainly landslide him out of office for it.

After that if anyone has a case against him, I volunteer for jury duty. I can be as fair as Kavanaugh and Barrett. I guarantee it.

He won't be going to jail anytime soon. How's that for a prediction?
We will see, I think it would be scary to be Trump right now.

What is there to stop the Republicans from asking Nancy to impeach Trump on the Mueller report if the Democrats sweep the election?

Those dominoes could fall very fast once they drain the last ounce of usefulness from Trump. Because it is the career Republican politicians that I believe are the ones that are going to get away with their crimes that Trump is going to go down for.

Because he is a moronic prideful spoiled foolish wannabe gangster, that is at best a sad fictional mirage of a conman.

Who got caught.

Earlier that morning (of the above Trump speech):

In two days? Hmm.... What could have been happening on June 9th 2016 that Trump was thinking about?

Which seems 100% clear that what Trump did was a crime.

oh yea.. the tax evasion is enough. He will either stay out of jail broke(Relinquish assets).. or he will rot in a box. Ordering Don Jr's favorite fruit roll-ups from the commissary.

He will leave a supermax in a plastic bag, in court by the end of February at the latest for arraignment and muzzling by the judge, then jail for breaking the court order with in a week until his first trial, state or federal take yer pick. Individual #1 is already gone and he is looking at 3 x Cohen's sentence cause he was the ring leader, it's a documents case, but they also have several witnesses, Donald is looking at a decade for that alone. Trump will be charged with hundreds of criminal counts and thousands of law suits, he will not wriggle away, though he might die.

Besides, you don't mass 2nd degree murder a half million American citizens and get away with it
