I bet Trump would withdrawal his SCOTUS nomination

[Under The Radar]

... if Biden promises a pardon.

[sfstaxprep]

1. I Bet You're Wrong

There's ZERO chance of either happening.

[dware]

2. I'll bet you 1 month of my military retirement pay

that he wouldn't.

[SoonerPride]

3. Nope

[PTWB]

4. That's ridiculous.

1. Trump can just pardon himself, his family and his administration. It will almost certainly be upheld because our flawed constitution provides almost no limits to the pardon power.

2. He wouldn’t barter a Supreme Court appointee that he sees as being loyal to himself for a Biden pardon.

3. If Trump couldn’t pardon himself his first option would be resign and have Pence pardon him, not trust Biden to do so in January.

4. Trump’s real legal jeopardy comes from the State prosecutions and not from the DOJ.

5. IMO, no and no. n/t

[Bobstandard]

6. Joe should do that, then ghost..

Wouldn’t that be great.

[Under The Radar]

10. Yes that would be following the the Republican rule book wouldn't it.

[The Magistrate]

21. Exactly, Sir

Make the deal, and once the other party has performed, laugh heartily and move to arrest....

7. This has been out of Trump's hands from the get go

Watch Sen. Whitehouse’s presentations at the hearing, especially the first one. The powers that be will not let this chance escape them.

[beachbumbob]

8. nope, Pence will pardon him day after he resigns

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. Sorry but no

And let's be honest, this is a McConnell/GOP project, not really a Trump project.

[Under The Radar]

12. Presidential nominations have been withdrawn before

It is certainly within his constitutional power to do so.

[dware]

14. Nobody here is saying that it's not within his Constitutional power to do so,

what is being said is that the Mango Menace is so egotistical, that he would refuse any such offer.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. I know

I just don't see it happening unless lots of Republican Senators start (quickly) abandoning Trump on the confirmation vote. So far, there have been no new defections.

[Under The Radar]

18. That is the thing, many republicans are sacrificing their own

...seats to push Barrett on the court. That shows the power of the Federalist Society. But Trump cares only for himself, he would throw his own children under the bus to save his own skin.
Republicans are jumping ship, Bill Barr and Pompeo have stepped away from the chopping block, the writing is finally on the wall, but the sad thing is that a Trump can’t read. Maybe Hope Hicks will read it to him.

[TwilightZone]

11. Nope, because it's not his nomination.

It's the Federalist Society's. Their agenda is bigger than Trump. They couldn't care less if he loses as long as they get what they want.

[Squinch]

13. If I thought that were true, I'd support Joe doing it.

If any Federal charges are moot, New York has got this.

And that SC seat is crucial.

[Under The Radar]

17. I believe as you do.

Expanding the court will be difficult if even possible.
Adding Puerto Rico and DC as states which adds 4 senators presumably Democrats, likely needs done 1st to have the votes to pull off expanding the court.
As much as I would love to see Trump In an orange jumpsuit and suffer at least some of the pain that he has caused, yep I would cut the deal.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. Trump believes he has done nothing wrong

and does not need pardoning. He really is completely delusional.

[Tyfairbanks600]

19. I think that Trump (and just about everybody in the world outside of DU) knows he's never getting

Prosecuted.

Sure, they’ll probably prosecute some more underlings, but they’re never going to prosecute Trump himself or even his family. I’m tired of that delusion on here.

There would be no point in Trump agreeing to this deal.

[Under The Radar]

20. All Joe has to say is that he is making Hillary attorney general.
