If Trump was to become the next US President, would be abuse his position and try to quash his legal convictions?

Presidential pardon of state crimes hasn't been tested by federal courts.

But with the current crop of rogue justices on SCOTUS, you never now.

He can't. The 34 felonies he was just convicted of are state felonies. Not federal. A president cannot pardon state crime convictions.

Second he cannot pardon convictions he has not been convicted of yet. So by stalling hi federal felony trials off until after November he screws himself. If he is tried AFTER he leaves office....if he should win........by the time he leaves office he has lost his power to pardon himself.

If he does not win and is then tried for all three of his federal felony trails...........he won't be able to pardon himself because he is not in office to do it.

The more his pocket judges stall off his prosecutions until after November...the more they screw trump, If he wins the prosecution waits 4 years...then tries him. If he loses he gets tried immediately and he has no pardon power because he's not president. Federal felonies have no statute of limitations....so he's screwed eventually either way.

Of course he would. Isn't that what he always does!

Trump explaining why candidates under felony investigation shouldn't be running:

“We could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial,” Trump said at the rally. “It would grind government to a halt.”
“If she were to win, it would create an unprecedented Constitutional crisis that would cripple the operations of our government,” he said. “She is likely to be under investigation for many years, and also it will probably end up – in my opinion – in a criminal trial. I mean, you take a look. Who knows? But it certainly looks that way.”
“She has no right to be running, you know that,”
-- Donald Trump, Nov 3 2016, North Carolina rally

Of course he would try, but if I remember correctly, he (the sitting president) can only pardon federal crimes, and his trial and guilty verdict all happened at the state level.

Appeals with non biased judge will overturn all these law fare attacks. No need to pardon himself. But…..if he wins and that is a very strong possibility, there is going to be hell to pay for the commies (democrats). And I’ll be cheering it on like so many of you left wing hacks are cheering these attempts at taking him out of the political race. What is really happening is an attempt to deny the right to vote to half of the nation. And that’s going backfire

Yes, I expect Trump would do exactly that, and then he would use every means at hand to punish those who had sought to bring him to justice. The word 'retribution' is common in his speeches.

He can't. The felonies he as just found guilty of were state charges so he cannot pardon them. He thinks he's is being smart by making sure he is not tried in any federal felonies until after the election. That being the case the trials will be postponed until after he wins and if he is found guilty then it is too late to pardon himself. Or he won't win and then then has to face federal cases with no power at all and he can't pardon those either. Either way...putting the two trials off that will put him in prison only pushes down the road when he goes.

The whole concept of “self pardoning” arouse with now convicted 45 because of his disaster of a single term.

Could one such as him actually legally win the highest office in our country?

I absolutely don’t see him winning another election and given all the shenanigans of the other GQP elected officials and lack of any accomplishments by them, I believe a massive Blue Wave is coming. Then expansion of the SCOTUS and term limits.

It will take such for our country to survive.

I really don't think so. He would be nothing like the Clinton's or OBiden's

Regardless of whether the convictions are state or federal, if Trump moves to quash any of them should be again elevated to the Big Chair it will destroy his reputation as a businessman with any level of integrity except amongst most of the corporate elite who are all criminals.

Of course lol

Not allowed

The 34 charges he was found guilty of by a jury of his peers. These are New York State felonies. Federal law has no authority over state criminal violations, although the MAGAs are trying to change that. They’ll fail of course.

I am not certain about NY law, but perhaps the governor can pardon , but not the POTUS.

EVEN BETTER: Georgia State felonies cannot be pardoned even by the governor. Best to get him convicted there, too. And the Georgia case is stronger than the NY one was.

Hed try but its setup such that i doubt hed be able to.

If he was reelected, all he would have to do is to name a new Attorney General, and have him throw out all the cases that are presently working their way through our legal system. Trump would be free and clear from all the charges against him.

Can birds swim? Can fish fly?

Of course he will. Zero doubt there.

He won’t support endless wars

Do Bears defecate in the woods???😷

if elected he will pardon himself
