Ok. What’s the precedent Trump is following in trying to get legislatures


To appoint unelected electors?

There is none. Ford’s decision to pardon Nixon has no effect on the existence of the pres power to pardon. Nixon didn’t pardon himself, so there is no precedent for that, which is what Stone refers to.

First, we have no idea exactly what Stone said to Trump, and second, it would still be true if Nixon spent his entire post WH life in prison.

There is no basis for an assumption that Trump would have been or will be any different even if Nixon had been executed in 1974.
