Coordinated delay tactic. His goal is to delay until he is President again and pardon himself.
That’s completely wild to me that a president can pardon himself. Wtf?
There's a lot of controversy about this and the legal opinions are still out on it. It's generally accepted that he can't do that but it's never been tested in court.
I don't think the President can, but that won't stop the orange one.
Possibly joking, but I really do think this is just another delay tactic. It's what he does, and it has worked so far.
