Presidents can issue pardons only for federal crimes, and the Georgia indictment involves exclusively state crimes. Trump couldn’t even seek help from the state’s governor, because in Georgia, unlike many other states, the governor cannot issue pardons.
Ok but can’t he appoint an attorney general to drop the case?
At at this point, pardoning himself is his only chance of staying out of prison.
Unless he gets convicted in GA.
Why Georgia?
