    I’ve read the theory that he’s so fucked legally he’s just angling for a guarantee of a pardon from whoever beats him in the primary, if someone does; or otherwise a self-pardon.

      It’s a real danger. The first time anyone with an ( R ) next to their name wins the Presidency, he’s getting a pardon, maybe even posthumously.

      It’s not a danger because I think he’s a jackass, but because, by all evidence so far, he’s broken the law, and such an action would be — even if he is not proven guilty — conceding that some people in this country are above the law.
