Jennifer Rubin: Trump will resign 10 minutes before next inauguration so Mike Pence can pardon him

Conservative Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin predicted over the weekend that President Donald Trump will resign 10 minutes earlier than planned, giving Vice President Mike Pence the opportunity to pardon him.

On Sunday, political analyst and politicians suggested that the Department of Justice may be waiting until Trump leaves office before indicting him for campaign finance violations, obstruction of justice or other crimes.

But according to Rubin, Trump has already devised a plan to thwart any attempt at indicting him. During an interview on MSNBC, Rubin pointed out that Justice Department rules against indicting a sitting president have never been litigated.

I don't remember Clinton's stupid impeachment for a BJ hurting Republican's

who failed miserably. In fact Gore ended up losing not long after all that. So why would attempting to impeach Trump for things a million times worse and failing to get 2/3rds hurt Dems? Maybe it would make Republican's look corrupt as hell? And by not attempting to impeach, would that not be sending the message that what Trump has done is just dandy with Democrats? I think it would make us look weak but I am open for debate as to why present day is different from the 90's.

Snip: the Senate voted on whether to remove Clinton from office. The president was acquitted on both articles of impeachment. The prosecution needed a two-thirds majority to convict but failed to achieve even a bare majority. Rejecting the first charge of perjury, 45 Democrats and 10 Republicans voted “not guilty,” and on the charge of obstruction of justice the Senate was split 50-50. After the trial concluded, President Clinton said he was “profoundly sorry” for the burden his behavior imposed on Congress and the American people.
