Re: POTUS 45.44: "That's Not Law" said Trump
Allow me to explain something to you because I think you're taking your eyes off the prize. The goal here isn't seeing Chump in leg irons. In reality, where most of us live, its highly unlikely Trump will be convicted because he will simply pardon himself. The Constitution has no prohibition on that and the President's power to pardon is absolute. He will also pardon all of his underlings before he leaves office particularly his own family. Please take a moment and wrap your mind around this. If you think Chump wouldn't do something like that, we're done here.
The prize is the complete and total destruction of the Republican party as its currently constituted (a treasonous money laundering cult). For that to happen, you WANT Trump to pardon Manafort. That and other probable pardons leads to his impeachment. Dems will do that with a smile on their face with public support as well. The GOP Senate, which as we already discussed is a cult, will of course stand by him aside from a couple of retirees looking for a gig on CNN. That leads to a holy a ss kicking in 2020 (ala 1974) at which time the Dems can outlaw all of the egregious and increasingly desperate voter suppression tactics that are the main thing keeping the cult in power.
So stop crying every time you think those dastardly Republicans have come up with some brilliant scheme to put off their reckoning. Chump will not face the criminal penalties he deserves, but if he takes the entire GOP down with him that is a deal I'd make any day of the week.

And, I am making no prediction. You guys are. I'm not saying this WILL happen. I am saying it COULD happen. Big difference.
