There is no way Trump will pardon him
Other famous predictions I've made include:
As President, Trump can only pardon people for federal crimes, not state.
If he wants to pardon people for Minnesota state crimes, he has to run to be governor of Minnesota, win, and he still can't do pardons single-handedly then:
https://mn.gov/crc/about-us/board-pardons.jsp
The Minnesota Board of Pardons (Board), which consists of the Governor, the Minnesota Attorney General, and the Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, may grant a pardon or commutation to individuals who meet basic eligibility requirements set forth in state law. To receive a pardon or commutation, the Governor and at least one other Board member must vote in favor of clemency.
There's no law saying Trump can't run for governor of all 50 states simultaneously. Oh, wait, there is? Well there's no law saying Trump can't break the law
There's no rule that says a dog can't play basketball!
And democrat leaders are like "Don't worry everyone, the rule-book CLEARLY states that a dog can't play basketball, if he even tries it will be a violation of our sacred institution" As the dog is dunking in the background and scoring points.
and biting the other team while his fans cheer
Why do you need an entire council to pardon a local menace, but you only need one high-functioning sociopath to release a nation-wide criminal?
Because a lot of states, Minnesota included, have more sensible processes and rules than the federal government.
See, the mistake you're making is thinking Trump gives a fuck about the law.
The mistake you're making is thinking Minnesotans will let this man walk free because the Pretender in Chief says so.
We'll stick this asshole with the 28th Virginia battle flag and they can come and try to collect him.
Interesting times ahead.
More frightening, I think. I worry most for the children and young adults in the US.
Can't even imagine how quickly everything would go to shit if he actually pardoned him (state charges anyway so can't happen). Instant green light to a third of the country that they "can" just kill democrats.
