They're taking down the lieutenants one step removed

So next, the mob family that the Blobfather trusts? Leaving Donnie Two Scoops isolated and feeling like he's in the final episode of The Sopranos?

Trump and his administration are but a symptom of a major sickness in this country.

That fucking bastard would never have been close to his current position if we had a healthy, functioning country.

I hope they get what they deserve soon, but WE have so much work ahead of us

But his business as well. He will be a pauper after SDNY gets through with him. He will regret the day his bloviated ass thought he should run for president. If he had decided not to, right now he would be living fat and sassy in his tower with nothing to worry about. Now, orange jump suits.

I was under the impression that if Pence pardons him for any and all federal crimes that any seizures, forfeitures, criminal fines and penalties, not already in the possession of the government at the time of the pardon, go away and he gets to keep them.

Might be the only consideration that might get him to resign if charges begin looking too likely.

He committed the crimes when he was a civilian, but somehow now that his name is next to the 45th POTUS, he's immune to indictment until...???

Okay, the DOJ says you're immune and dirty Russian McConnell has your back until his last breath, fuck your kids. We'll put those traitors if mother-fucking jail until they rot of old age. How about that, Individual-1???

Traitors gotta go!

Being a check signer alone does not prove guilt.

Prosecutors can get only those involved in the secret reimbursements to Cohen.

I doubt it’s all of the kids.

Might not be any.

They would see the pardons as his only way to protect his family from the hatred and coup attempt of the deep state. Beyond that I don’t believe he would care what anyone thought.

That kind of reminds me of the old joke, "What's the dirtiest question you can ask a guitar player? How do you finger A Minor?"

Seriously, though, Rachel has been on fire lately. Last night she laid out in explicit detail the case against Pence as extrapolated from the statements made in the Flynn sentencing memorandum. Tonight it's the second generation of the Trump Crime Family.

I just can't wait for this Mueller report to be released, because based on what we've been able to piece together so far, what's actually in there just HAS to be completely devastating. It looks pretty bad already, and we've got only a fraction of the information Mueller has.

he is president.
He can still be indicted while president but he wont be arrested until he is out of office at which point he is treated like the common criminal that he is.
