In reply to the discussion: Trump was 100% successful in meeting his strategic goals yesterday. Again the media falls for it. [View all]grantcart
(53,061 posts)31. Correct but in the warped mind of Donald Trump I believe that is his goal
I don't think that he is interested in a pardon but will threaten the new administration with legal challenges, civil unrest and actions by armed militia.
So how could this be accomplished?
A joint "no prosecution" agreement with both federal and state prosecutors that would make an agreement that there would be no criminal charges but that the states would be free to pursue civil litigation.
I don't agree that we should agree, but suggest that is what Trump is thinking.
If you accept that Trump realizes (and I think that is clear) that he is going to lose then the only thing that matters is no criminal prosecutions.
He can take the civil losses. He is going to establish some kind of "Trump club" where is devotees can gain an intimate relationship with him.
Ten million idiots paying $ 19.99 a month and he generates $ 200 million a month for subscription TV or whatever. He isn't worried about the money, he is worried about the jail time.

I don't think the tax thing is done. More is coming on his finances. Money laundering should cap it
