between the election and the time that the next president will take office and during that time, my suspicion is that he will resign as president he will allow mike pence to take over and he will then go ahead and have mike pence pardon him and it's a very nixon type of event and it was probably discussed between roger stone and president at some point. this is certainly one way to avoid any potential prison time. donald trump never thought he was going to win this election he actually didn't want to win this election. this was supposed to be the greatest political infomercial in the history of politics so if you take that line and you add to it the trump tower moscow project you'll understand that this was aal >> the white house has dismissed
