Trump Pardon Betting Odds Favor Family and Political Allies

The bookies are speculating the top candidates to receive a pardon from President Trump before leaving office. According to President Trump’s pardon betting odds, his family and closest political allies are likely to be the main recipients.

Online sportsbook news sites in the United States expect President Trump to pass out pardons before Joe Biden takes office in January 2021. It comes after Trump pardoned his former national security advisor Michael Flynn. However, it is not something odd, as former US presidents have all granted pardons during their last days in office.

What is expected from Trump to do differently from the former presidents, is to pardon those with personal or political connections to him. Accordingly, Trump pardon betting odds at 22BET Sportsbook indicate Rudy Guiliani, Trump’s personal lawyer or Vice President Mike Pence will receive a pardon. Besides, Trump’s three elderly children are massive favorites.

Trump pardon betting odds on Giuliani and Pence

Rudy Giuliani the former mayor of New York City has proven to be a loyal soldier to President Trump. He is Trump’s top defendant leading a legal team trying to prove allegations of election fraud. Giuliani was under investigation as recently as this summer by federal prosecutors in Manhattan. The investigation is on Giuliani’s business dealings with Ukraine and his role in ousting the American ambassador there.

To save him from any potential charges, President Trump talked to Rudy Giuliani about pardoning him, according to the New York Times. Whereas, about pardoning VP Mike Pence, there are no reports yet. But, 22BET Sportsbook offers 1.48 odds on either Pence of Giuliani to be pardoned by Trump.

His family yet to receive a pardon

No president has gone that far in pardoning his own family. But, we all can agree that Trump is not like any former president. Therefore, it will not be a surprise if he seriously tries to pardon his children. Many of his supporters have been encouraging such an act. For example, Fox News host Sean Hannity said “The president out the door needs to pardon his whole family and himself”, according to The Washington Post.

As per Trump pardon betting odds, Donald Trump Jr., Eric, and Ivanka are massively favored with a value of 1.67. However, none of the three have received charges of federal crimes. Should Trump grant a pardon to his children, many will consider it as Trump admitting his children are guilty of one or more crimes. Not to mention, that many will perceive it as an act of corruption by benefiting the children of his own presidential powers.

How do presidential pardons work?

according to article 2 of the US Constitution, the president holds executive power to pardon any person convicted of a federal crime. But pardon does not provide protection against state or local crimes. The person who receives a pardon has to accept responsibility and show good conduct. Former President Barack Obama granted 212 pardons. Whereas George Bush granted 189 pardons.
