    The only good news is that he can’t pardon himself from state crimes and the Georgia criminal trial is on the state level.

      he can’t pardon himself

      Anytime I hear someone say Trump can’t do something, I want to wave my hands in the air and point to everything.

      Trump will pardon himself because he has no shame, and the people in charge of pointing out that he can’t pardon himself will do fuckall, just like every single person with any repsonsibility has done fuckall the stop Trump from doing anything for the past 8 years.

      There have been thousands of chances to prevent Trump from doing A, B, C, D, E, F, G, etc. And every. single. person. has done nothing at all to stop him. He truly is above the law.

      The Georgia criminal trial does not have a lot of hope of succeeding unfortunately.

          I’ve heard that its likely the case will get taken from its current prosecutor and handed to a state legal board that leans conservative and that there’s a number of ways to do that. At best delaying the case for years and at worst dropping it entirely.
