pardon: [verb] to absolve from the consequences of a fault or crime. to allow (an offense) to pass without punishment. The granting of a pardon to a person who has committed a crime or who has been convicted of a crime is an act of clemency, which forgives the wrongdoer and restores the person's Civil Rights.
The thing about all those stories telling Trump pardoning himself makes me wonder what exactly has he been found guilty of to be pardoned in the first place? Just wondering if anyone has looked into that yet. Keep in mind too impeachment is not a criminal charge.
So I ask what is he supposed to absolving himself of?
