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

Could he use something like an executive order to 'pardon himself' and expunge his convictions?

As we know he is the quintessential 'post turtle'. 8-)

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.
