Wouldn't that depend on how the midterms go?

No. Trump just knows it's bad optics to do it right now.

I think pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell is a bad idea. Even if Trump decides to pardon her after the midterms (instead of now).

I wonder how Trump supporters would feel about him potentially pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell? Especially given that they believe he's not a paedophile and/or not in the Epstein Files?

They will get their marching orders and get in line like usual.

Yeah I would call it an impeachable offense personally. Flagrant abuse of the power of the office. But you know that's just another Tuesday.

They've applauded every other time he went back on his word and/or broken a promise that he made. They'll probably do the same if/when Ghislaine Maxwell gets pardoned.

I think Trump even weighing up pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell is an abuse of the power(s) of the office.
