of which there will be plenty, including his

tRump has two related built-in vulnerabilities: he lives in NY, and NY is the financial center of the country--almost any financial dealing of any kind will have some kind of link there, which means it can be investigated and prosecuted there. mueller is already working with NY attorney general, who was already investigating on a number of fronts, on his own (for example, NY AG is the one who brought and won the case against tRump University)

i think it will be very disappointing to tRump when he can't pardon himself out of trouble. Sad.
