In a recent podcast interview with Dr. Michael Savage, Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Joel B. Pollak discussed the possibility of former President Donald Trump taking the oath of office in prison and then pardoning himself to walk free. The interview raises the question of whether some of Trump’s co-defendants in the recent Georgia indictment could “flip” on him, as suggested by criminal defense attorney Dan Horowitz. Pollak acknowledges that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis may try to sway some of Trump’s former lawyers, aides, and supporters against him. However, he emphasizes that they would still be subject to cross-examination, meaning their credibility could be called into question.

Pollak opines that out of the four Trump indictments so far, the one in New York would be the easiest to quash. He also suggests that the federal indictment in Miami, known as the “documents” case, could encounter difficulties. However, Pollak believes that Trump’s prospects in the “January 6” case in Washington, D.C., are precarious, given the venue’s perceived bias against the former president. He speculates that it wouldn’t be surprising if Trump were convicted or even held in pre-trial detention.

Interestingly, Pollak poses an intriguing scenario to Savage: Trump winning the election while still in prison. He describes Chief Justice administering the oath of office at the prison, after which Trump would pardon himself and leave the facility a free man. Pollak’s musings touch on the January 6 Committee’s controversial conduct, suggesting they have destroyed evidence crucial to Trump’s defense. He deems this behavior worse than any alleged wrongdoing by Trump involving his documents.
Pollak’s insights and analysis provide a unique perspective on the legal challenges and potential political maneuvers surrounding the former president. His discussion with Savage sparks the imagination, conjuring vivid images of Trump taking the presidential oath behind bars. While the scenario Pollak presents is highly speculative, it reflects the ongoing political intrigue and polarization surrounding Trump and his legal battles.
