Protecting Trump, a catch-22

For those thinking of perjury in order to protect Trump, I guess the dilemma is this.

Conduct perjury, get caught, and be found guilty. Then hope to get a presidential pardon to avoid going to prison.

But, when caught for perjury, Trump's presidency may be endangered, and if he loses his office, he can no longer grant that presidential pardon. But Cohen's case has shown that coming clean doesn't mean "stay out of jail."

Take a gamble that Trump remains in power, and continue to protect Trump? Or swing the other way, and possibly still get thrown into prison?

Truly in between a rock and a hard place. 😅
