(14,860 posts)Nixon was pardoned, Dumbya gets interviewed about his paintings after all of the needless deaths in Iraq, etc.
I hope that Trump has to wear a jumpsuit that matches his skin, but I have strong doubts.

The office of Attorney General Letitia James of New York issued a subpoena to Deutsche Bank, opening a new front in the scrutiny of its relationship with President Trump.

(32,165 posts)I have asked the question many, many times and so far no one gives an answer supported by any evidence or legal theory.

(32,165 posts)The trump tax returns have been in the hands of the NY IRS and Federal IRS for decades. The have been audited. How come no charges? Trump Foundation was a civil matter, not criminal, and was settled.

(32,165 posts)Cohen was charged with federal crimes not state, which is what we are talking about here.

(51,299 posts)I'm assuming Vance has reasons to get trump's tax documents. Also falsification of business documents as relayed (fingers crossed) by Weisselberg.
All of us will find out yay or nay in the future.

They have to keep propping up the President, we can't actually have criminal presidents...which is weird because Rule of law and nobody is supposed to be above it.

(21,715 posts)The NY AG would. Granted that person is a Democrat but what I mean is Biden and his AG would not be doing the prosecuting (mainly because drumpf will be pardoned of all Fed charges).

(16,955 posts)IF he loses, AND he goes to jail:
The Trump Presidential Libarary will be delivered on a cart - who knows, it could be Barr, Cohen, Manafort, Stone, etc., etc......
Chainfire
(17,757 posts)All Federal charges will go away between election day and inauguration day. Trump's last action could be to resign and depend on his number 2 flunky to issue a blanket pardon. While he may not, in fact, be able to pardon himself, there is no reason Pence, as the new President for a day, couldn't.
I just wan't the clown out of office. It would be unseemly for an ex-American President, even Trump, to be in jail; that is something that happens in banana republics.

(13,059 posts)And Trump will never spend one day in jail for his crimes. President Biden may not pardon him but he knows that putting Trump in jail would completely tear this country apart and make his job of governing impossible. As much as we wish it will happen it will not happen. And Trump knows it.
GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)He will be disgraced and have no pull. The banks, or Russians, will refuse to extend anymore credit.
Unless he finds a way to grift his crazy supporters, he will die a broke and broken man.
Because the few supporters he has left will never provide enough money to support his lifestyle.

(50,601 posts)Trump owes money to the Russian mafia. As long as hes in office he can do favors for them and pay them back that way. If hes voted out, that ends.
I think hell be murdered within six months of leaving office. They want their fuckin money and Trump isnt capable of producing it.

(11,949 posts)I knew someone retired from them. They take their job very seriously.
Not saying the Russians could not get him. But cant see them trying against the Secret Service.
At that point it will be meaningless. He has no money.
