The NY AG has been going after the Dumpster for quite some time now. Considering he has teamed up with Mueller, it's only a matter of time before the Dumpster is hit with State felony charges and only the Democratic Governor can pardon him. A federal pardon will not save his ass. I just wish they could make this go down like yesterday instead of another month unto forever.

(26,060 posts)He wouldn't be able to show his face. Cuomo pardoning him is not something we need to worry about.

(26,060 posts)I would vote for in a heartbeat. Kristin Gillibrand is awesome. I'd also vote for Mike Bloomberg (I know many DUers hate him and I don't care - he was great for NYC). But yeah, Andrew would be good - I felt terrible when his wife cheated on him (it was like a soap opera). It was ugly and I lived in the same county so we heard ALL the dirt. Yuck.

He will try to bring about the Apocalypse and the end of times and the Rapture.

(2,638 posts)his ass would already be in prison.
There is a Mount Everest of circumstantial evidence against drumpf and his family that should be enough to keep them behind bars for years to come.
So why hasn't it happened yet?

(3,433 posts)I want Trump gone as much as the next guy but the threshold for indictment or impeachment should be high even if the president happens to be an ineffective assclown.

(5,730 posts)the N word (racial motive), and then they played the tape
W F bombs and N bombs. There was proof of other times too. He was practically KKK.
Yeah, OJ killed them, but with his millions, he outgunned the prosecuters
He had the money to get the fine detail. The DAs didn't.

I don't see any former President going behind bars. Ever. Although Trump deserves it far more than Nixon.

Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)Look at the photos of Pence clearing debris in Texas.
If Trump is backed into a corner, he'll resign. Pence will pardon him or he'll pardon himself. I know he can't pardon himself for state crimes, but maybe if he just leaves, he'll never be charged.
He's not going to prison.

(11,237 posts)I had forgotten that Schneiderman went after Trump "University." I still worry that Trump will find a way to worm himself out of prison, but I 100% agree that Schneiderman is going to bring a lot to the table.

(51,974 posts)he's got enough money for enough capable lawyers to be able to delay things for years and years and years. very likely until after his four years are up (assuming he lasts that long).
at that point, new york state might be happy to settle for 9 figures. maybe even only 8.

(24,259 posts)If you read it more carefully, the Constitution doesn't actually expressly forbid a sitting president from being indicted.
Here's just one of a few recent articles that make an excellent case for it being possible...

(5,730 posts)My mother is ill, so I'm in Texas. Eye opener. People here take this evil man seriously. They love him & respect him
...especially if he gives them their tax breaks, & many are wealthy. My mother is okay financially, definitely not wealthy, but she won't benefit from DTs programs, but the other relatives will. She is just surrounded by people she thinks know. I tried to tell her, but she is too old &bull headed to understand. However, Medicare sends people in 3 x per week to help her. How nice of Trump.
They don't like McCain anymore because he's lost his mind, the way he treated DT. Of course, they voted for him before the Repubs were hijacked by the Trumpsters.
