Mulvaney outlined how Trump’s legal woes could play out in an opinion piece published in The Hill Wednesday morning.
He described an “outlandish” scenario in which President Joe Biden offers Trump a deal if the former president is convicted. Under that agreement, Biden would pardon Trump in exchange for his dropping out of the presidential race. Biden would then end his 2024 campaign to assure Americans that the deal was not done to make his reelection chances easier.
Mulvaney predicted Trump would ultimately accept that offer. While he said the scenario is not likely to happen, he described how the former president might approach such an offer to avoid serving time in prison.
Okay, and the punchline is that after Trump agrees, drops out of the race, and accepts the Presidential pardon, they tell him that Biden can’t pardon him from state crimes. Assuming he’s convicted in Georgia, even the Governor there can’t do it. Pardons in GA are issued by the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles and they will not pardon him until he’s served his sentence (at least five years), paid all fines, and have no charges outstanding.
Moot point. He won’t be offered. He wouldn’t accept even if he was. He has to lie and grift. He will die if he stops.
I can’t wait.
@tacosanonymous Moot point part deix: that motherficker and his party will run his campaign from the visitor’s wing of the county jail if they have to.
