Ps. How did that 12 amendment thing work out for you? Yeah I was thinking that your reading of it wasn’t supported by pretty much every constitutional scholar in the country accept for Trumps guy Eastman. I think Rudy is gonna a need a pardon asap his “trial by combat” speech was will, dangerous as it turned out. What a f###[#] train wreck, while the insurrection was going on Trump was watching on TV phoning Tommy Tuberville and acolytes in congress to keep objecting what a dumbass, but It did overshadow the worst covid death day of the pandemic so there’s that.

You may want to check the law on this point, or consult a real lawyer.
"Are those incitement to the violence that erupted almost immediately afterward? That’s the Brandenburg question, in which the Supreme Court declared that rhetorical fury cannot be considered incitement unless it meets a very narrow test. The First Amendment protects all speech except “where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.” Prosecutors have to distinguish between “mere advocacy” and incitement.
This matters in the aftermath of the riot yesterday, because four people died in the melée and law enforcement wants to round up the ringleaders to press charges. Calling for “trial by combat” puts Giuliani in a tougher position than Trump legally, although it’s probably not enough in either case to put them in real legal jeopardy. It would likely take a more explicit call for violence than either Trump or Giuliani said to cross the line into prosecution. Morally speaking, however, they own what happened yesterday."

So Rudy isn’t getting a pardon from Trump, I don’t think so. We shall see by January 20th, my bet is it’s already a done deal counsel.
GrizWhiz said:Rudy has other legal issues that put him at risk federally. I suspect he will get a pardon.
I think Trump will pardon his close friends, like Rudy, and his immediate family and I’m hearing he might issue a blanket pardon to the Capitol rioters like carter did to Vietnam draft dodgers in Canada and last I’m thInking trump issues a pardon to himself. What do you think? We will know by January 20. LolPlayerRep said:Jesse said:So Rudy isn’t getting a pardon from Trump, I don’t think so.

I don't know, but I say he won't get one. Doesn't need one for this. See below.
A Journal opinion piece. By a former US prosecutor in Wash DC. He prosecuted protestors.
No, Trump Isn’t Guilty of Incitement
Inflaming emotions isn’t a crime. The president didn’t mention violence, much less provoke it.
"The president didn’t commit incitement or any other crime. I should know. As a Washington prosecutor I earned the nickname “protester prosecutor” from the antiwar group CodePink. In one trial, I convicted 31 protesters who disrupted congressional traffic by obstructing the Capitol Crypt. In another, I convicted a CodePink activist who smeared her hands with fake blood, charged at then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in a House hearing room, and incited the audience to seize the secretary of state physically. In other cases, I dropped charges when the facts fell short of the legal standard for incitement. One such defendant was the antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan.
Hostile journalists and lawmakers have suggested Mr. Trump incited the riot when he told a rally that Republicans need to “fight much harder.” Mr. Trump suggested the crowd walk to the Capitol: “We’re going to cheer on brave senators and congressmen and -women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong.”
In the District of Columbia, it’s a crime to “intentionally or recklessly act in such a manner to cause another person to be in reasonable fear” and to “incite or provoke violence where there is a likelihood that such violence will ensue.” This language is based on Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), in which the Supreme Court set the standard for speech that could be prosecuted without violating the First Amendment. The justices held that a Ku Klux Klan leader’s calls for violence against blacks and Jews were protected speech. The court found that Clarence Brandenburg’s comments were “mere advocacy” of violence, not “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action . . . likely to incite or produce such action.”

The president didn’t mention violence on Wednesday, much less provoke or incite it. He said, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
District law defines a riot as “a public disturbance . . . which by tumultuous and violent conduct or the threat thereof creates grave danger of damage or injury to property or persons.” When Mr. Trump spoke, there was no “public disturbance,” only a rally. The “disturbance” came later at the Capitol by a small minority who entered the perimeter and broke the law. They should be prosecuted.
The president’s critics want him charged for inflaming the emotions of angry Americans. That alone does not satisfy the elements of any criminal offense, and therefore his speech is protected by the Constitution that members of Congress are sworn to support and defend.
Mr. Shapiro served as an assistant attorney general of the District of Columbia, 2007-09. He is a White House appointed official at the U.S. Agency for Global Media.

What other risks?

Just Google Giuliani and FBI. I think Giuliani only need ask trump and he will get a pardon. Trump's self-pardon may not be legal. I can't imagine Pence will cooperate on this though (e.g. trump resigns then Pence pardons him) given trump turned his rioters loose on him and some of them were chanting hang Pence!
