"The last thing I'd ever do is give myself a pardon."

"Under the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case, it would seem that the question should be answered in the negative."

Trump "would have no ability to pardon himself by law [because his case is not subject to a federal pardon]."

"He [Trump] absolutely cannot pardon himself."

"The answer has to be no."

Trump "could very well attempt to self-pardon, but it's entirely unclear how that would turn out."

There is every indication from Trump that he "more likely will pardon himself."

"[I]t becomes much likelier that, for the first time since the Constitution was ratified in 1789, a president will issue a pardon to himself, or at least try to."

"It's going to be some [Jan. 6 defendants], not all" who will receive clemency.

"Will he do it? I don't know, but he says that he will, and odds are that he will."

"I do believe Donald J. Trump will pardon us, and he should. We didn't do anything."

"[I]t's undeniable that, if elected yet again (heaven forbid), [Trump] can issue all these possible pardons related to the efforts to cling to power."

"I'm 100 percent confident President-elect Trump will pardon the non-violent protesters."

"[H]e will pardon January 6th protestors who are wrongfully imprisoned [on a case-by-case basis]."

"Oh, absolutely, I would... If they're innocent, I would pardon them."
