One more: on self pardons

The topic of self pardons was discussed thoroughly at the time of the Watergate  conspiracy in the 1970s, with Nixon eventually resigning without pardoning himself (accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt), and his successor  doing so in order to be able to get on with his Presidency instead of answering a plague of questions about pardoning the criminal Nixon (note previous comments about acceptance and admission). 

The topic has naturally come up now (see, for instance, here), as trump has been issuing pardons (note previous comments about acceptance and admission) to his criminal accomplices and lickspittles. 

In light of that, this assessment from a couple of years ago, arguing that trump can't, is interesting. 

I don't consider that conclusive, but it's arguments are well worth being aware of. 

The list of those charged with crimes from the attempted insurrection continues to grow.
