    I’m pretty sure it does. It won’t happen, but a president could pardon someone from federal crimes.

        Right, but we’re discussing the new federal charges that have been added, as reported in the OP story.

          I know, I’m just saying it doesn’t matter. Sure he can be pardoned, but he’d still be spending the rest of his days in prison.

          If he were sentenced to death, I feel like that would make him a martyr anyway.
