Sidney Powell to be appointed Attorney General by Trump? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/dec/21/sidney-powell-conspiracy-theorist-white-house
Doubtful.
Yes that would be a Belief Basis?
It would take too long to confirm her.
She may get the job of acting AG.
I was just kidding ... now @Maw is scaring me
Which like, 60% of America would roll their eyes at.
It's a good idea
I thought he already chose an acting AG though.
She couldn't get hired at the DOJ to take the Trash Out in the Biden Administration!
Also keep in mind, the president can have himself pardoned, but that's only on a federal level.
If states want to investigate him/charge him, they absolutely can.
You can only pardon state-level crime as a governor.
Dude looks like he's getting up on some tune-in Tokyo action.
Self Pardon has never been Tested. It would be Interesting!
Aka. nip nipping... Practice of course.
He'd use Pence most likely.
He would have to Step Down First.
I mean, he can literally do it a minute or two before his presidency ends.
Pence would have to be Sworn in First.
Can Sydney Powell swear in a president?
No
It has to be a supreme Court Justice? @William Dinan
Don't remember this with Nixon.
While the Constitution does not mandate that anyone in particular should administer the presidential oath of office, it has been administered by the Chief Justice beginning with John Adams, except following the death of a sitting president.
Ford was the Sitting President.
He took Office Aug 9th. Issued Pardon on Oct 17th.
Why does Trump need a pardon? @William Dinan
Will this not set a bad precedent?
I didn't say he needed one.
He preemptively pardoned Giuliani? @William Dinan
Not that I know of.
@Dedkraken
@Dedkraken is a big league Giuliani fan.
😂
Why would Giuliani need a pardon?
