One of the legal questions over a self-pardon involves the fact that neither the president, nor members of his family, have been charged by federal prosecutors with a crime.

It’s no surprise that Trump wants to pardon himself, and his complicity in yesterday’s act of domestic terrorism give him more incentive to try.
— Renato Mariotti (@renato_mariotti) January 7, 2021
A self-pardon creates a dangerous precedent of a president who is above the law.
Trump should be removed before he pardons himself. https://t.co/dAUkk3Akq0
Trump floating the idea of pardoning himself does raise the stakes of Congress impeaching and removing him now. Otherwise a president could simply wait until the final weeks of term, break laws in an effort to subvert election, foment insurrection, and pardon self if that fails.
