Does Trump seek to avoid stalking?

Despite the loud noise, the outgoing US President Donald Trump realizes that the elections are over and that luck was not his ally, and he, although stubbornly and prancing and claiming the occurrence of fraud, could not escape the luck of the transfer of power on time at noon on January 20. . Noise that agrees with facts that indicate that some Republicans rise up around their president, after successive positions that demand that he admit defeat, while the lawyers they appointed to challenge the results abandoned him.

Three attorneys representing the US president’s campaign decided to withdraw from the Pennsylvania lawsuits, destabilizing their legal team. His withdrawal came the day after famed law firm Porter Wright, Morris & Arthur withdrew from the case. As of yesterday, the number of cases filed by Trump’s team alleging fraud in the elections that took place two weeks ago reached 8 in Pennsylvania, one was withdrawn, another reached the Federal Supreme Court, and three in Georgia , where one was rejected and another was withdrawn, five in Michigan and one lawsuit. He was retired in Nevada and another suffered the same fate in Wisconsin.
Trump’s insistence on sticking to the fraud narrative and his refusal to acknowledge the “stolen” election results do not appear to be without foundation. The defeated president seeks to delegitimize the next administration, and provoke the discontent of his base, consolidate it, and benefit politically and economically (to finance judicial resources and in parallel pay off his campaign debts for the 2020 elections), if he intends to stand in the elections. 2024. A deal that avoids prosecution, after lifting his immunity, especially since the Democratic administration can resort to revenge against the Republican president who stole the presidency in the last session. In this context, it is likely that the file of the “Russian investigation” will be reopened, despite the fact that the independent attorney general, Robert Mueller, has not demonstrated the collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, or even that the President obstructed the course of justice. After the Justice Department rushed to drop the charges against Trump for lack of evidence, Mueller returned, two months after the release of his report in April 2019, to recount what he said were “systematic efforts to harm.” Democrat Hillary Clinton.

The pardon includes federal crimes and does not address charges filed in state courts.

In addition to the above, the president may face charges related to the violation of the Hatch Act of 1939, which prohibits any federal employee from participating in party activities. In this context, the organization “Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics” to monitor political life in Washington confirms that there were no fewer than 15 violations of the aforementioned law during the celebration of the Republican National Convention last August. There is a high probability that Trump will face tax-related legal problems, after it was revealed that the wealthy businessman paid only about $ 750 in federal taxes in 2016, and that he has not paid income tax for 10 of those years. last 15 years. These cited cases relate to federal crimes, while Trump is also implicated in a number of state cases. In New York, he is awaiting two court investigations that could each lead to his prosecution: the first is a criminal initiated by Manhattan Attorney General Cyrus Vance, targeting possible tax fraud, insurance fraud and manipulation of accounts, and the second is a civilian initiated by New York State Attorney Letitia James, seeking to determine whether the Trump Group lied about the size of its assets to obtain loans and tax benefits.
While waiting for the time for the Democratic administration to take office, Trump will remain in office, where he can use the remaining time to grant himself a presidential pardon, especially since the president’s powers are very broad in the United States, and that a presidential pardon According to CNN, “it’s a stick.” Legal witchcraft capable of providing complete immunity against all past and current federal crimes. “Thus, Trump can pardon his friends or family, as he did with Roger Stone in the investigation into the Russian intervention, but the problem is that this amnesty only covers federal crimes, and does not address charges brought in state courts. Since there is no precedent in the history of the United States in which a president pardoned himself, the matter is left to the discretion of a court or the Supreme Court, mainly because some jurists consider it unconstitutional. On this, Trump can resign before the end of his term and hand over power to his deputy, Mike Pence, leaving him to grant a presidential pardon, in what is similar to Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon after the 1974 “Watergate” scandal.
