If they say he can’t pardon himself, he can 1) resign, making Pence president, then 2) have Pence pardon him, and 3) the quid pro quo will get a legal test. From that article about the Nixon thing:
In a Washington Post story published the night Ford died, journalist Bob Woodward said that Ford once told Woodward he decided to pardon Nixon for other reasons, primarily the friendship that Ford and Nixon shared.[7]
Not exactly blind justice. He’s always asterisked in my brain as the POTUS who was essentially appointed by a crook, not elected by the voters.
