The criminal case against Donald Trump is just waiting to be made

What may be behind President Trump's refusal to concede the election, despite overwhelming evidence that he lost, is a desire for a pardon that might shield him from federal criminal prosecution once he leaves office. His former White House Communications Director, Anthony Scaramucci, has said as much. In effect, he wants a hardball deal. Joe Biden, to use Lincoln's words, commendably wants to "bind up the nation's wounds," "with malice towards none; and charity for all," and he may just be inclined to give Trump a pass so he can spend the next four years attempting to undermine the government.
