    Luckily for us, that can’t keep him out of Georgia prison. He can only pardon himself of federal charges. Granted I don’t think he has a chance in a general election. The Republican party is so screwed up they keep picking more and more extreme candidates even though those candidates usually lose in the general.

      It shouldn’t be the case but it’s not unlikely that I’d he was already president, he would not be imprisoned while serving.

      Impeachment is meant to be the way to remove him of that were the case but we’ve already seen that impeachment is now only a political tool for bashing your opponent when one party will exonerate trump from repurcuasions when clearly found guilty.

      If he is president, he’d likely stay out of prison until he serves his term. At his age and health, he’d likely be dead by the end. When you’re facing prison at his age, postponing it for 6 years is as good as getting off.
