I agree. Consider also, he has to pardon others so that when he pardons his cohorts, it won't look like he is only pardoning them.
As an Independent thinker, consider the following as well:
The Declaration Of Independence states that the Government gets their just powers from the consent of the governed. ALL the powers the government gets, it gets from 'We The People'. Now, you may have heard a President claim their inherent powers of their office as they try to obtain a unitary type Presidency. Well, what about the inherent powers of 'We The People'? If the President can legally pardon them self, whether they actually do or not, then every single American citizen can legally pardon them self with their inherent powers of being an American citizen because the President received that power from 'We The People'. So, certainly if the President actually pardons him self, but even if it is proven that he legally could even if that option is not exercised, then fling open all the jail cells of all the American citizens who claim their inherent powers of pardoning them self for any crime committed in this nation, as all governments and laws in this nation fall under the powers of 'We The People', for any American in prison, or even going to prison, if they and they alone choose to pardon them self with their inherent rights to do so, then they could justifiably do so. Now, I am not a lawyer and certainly not a constitutional lawyer, but as a layman, that is how I see the chain of powers and authorities in the USA. 'We The People' hold all the cards, but we don't normally exercise those cards so as to have a more orderly society, but we could if we wanted to. We are supposed to be able to trust our government to keep us safe and happy. And certainly as has been recently said by one of Trump's lawyers, he could even kill an American citizen and then pardon him self. The thing is though, he certainly would not have kept that American citizen safe nor happy, of which the government is supposed to do per the Declaration Of Independence. And if the government doesn't keep us safe and happy, we have the right, even the duty, to alter and even abolish the government and set up a new government that will keep us safe and happy. Here again, or at least how I understand it all to be.
