Believe it or It, the precedent set by Ford when he pardoned Nixon ...


before he was ever charged/indicted gives Trump leeway. That said, Trump is not immuned from state prosecution. Furthermore, if you accept a pardon, you admit guilt.

I have no doubt Trump will try to pardon himself. He can at least tie up the potential federal charges in court which is his m.o.
