The timing of it all is definitely problematic, which is why I argued in a separate article it’s likely all prosecutors and Trump reach a deal.
Important to note - Trump does not have the authority to pardon himself from a state conviction (e.g. Georgia).
And you’re making a big assumption that he’ll actually be elected again. Obviously not impossible and I wouldn’t bet against him, but it’s not guaranteed either especially post Jan 6th.
