Even though I'd love to see Trump face the music if he loses in November, the better scenario might be for him to be pardoned by Pence as you say and start a Trump news network. Why? The existence of TrumpTV would either severely cripple Fox News, OAN, etc. or force them back to middle in their programming. Fox News would go to being right of center rather than far right with much of its programs. Since Fox News influences so many minds of our citizenry, it would be the better long term scenario for the country. TrumpTV gets its 10-15% of the public who either legitimately believe in conspiracy theories or just enjoy the entertainment.
