Would make it easier to pardon him, no?

The pardoning scenario is interesting. He may well be pardoned for federal crimes by Pence or Biden, but Presidential pardons do not extend to state crimes. It’s possible that the NY State AG might have some issues to resolve once he is out of office.

After today, it would be very hard to convince the state AGs to not prosecute him despite any ideas Biden or Pence may have.
