Trump couldn’t pardon Jan 6 rioters even if he wins in November...........

Checking the Pardon Power: Constitutional Limitations & Options for Preventing Abuse, lays out a number of circumstances in which a presidential pardon would not be valid because it would not be a legitimate use of the president’s authority to grant reprieves for “offenses against the United States”.

yup, if there's one thing donald trump is concerned with, it's "a legitimate use of the president’s authority to grant reprieves for “offenses against the United States."

the man has openly pondered pardoning himself, for fuck's sake. his lawyers have tried arguing that the president has immunity from prosecution. and not one single trump voter at this point would have the slightest issue with him violating the constitution. again.
