Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said “this is game over” for former President Trump in the classified and sensitive documents case against him after the release of the tape that appears to show Trump discussing documents he had in his possession.

“Bring some Cokes in please” 🤦 that’s how you know it’s real
Idk, he said “please”. sounds pretty sus
And yet at least a quarter of this country will happily vote for the traitor.
Can you still be president if you’re incarcerated? lol
This came up a couple months ago. Apparently there is no law against it, and if elected he could just pardon himself. BS if you ask me!
A pardon is an admission of guilt. I wonder how that would play out with the general public? Oh who am I kidding, Trump sycophants won’t give a shit.
Eeh, if they push for violation of the espionage act, he is screwed as he can no longer run for public office.
I doubt very much that a president can pardon himself. If he could, why did no one, not even Nixon, who just won reelection, not use that power in over 200 years? Why not suspend Congress and govern by executive order? I mean, it violates the Constitution to prevent Congress critters from participating in a legislative session except in cases of Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, but who cares? The President can self-pardon! Lock them all up if they’re being a pain in the ass.
It would completely upend the rule of law. Not even this clown car of a Supreme Court would allow that.
Federal crimes can be pardoned by the president but this could still get complicated because NY and Georgia are bringing state level charges.
💀
That or she just claims it isn’t enough of a crime to punish it.
Every time this man opens his mouth he admits to another crime.
Game Over*
*unless you are rich, in which case, carry the fuck on
No amount of money will save him now. Money will likely put him in a hotel suite under house arrest after conviction though.
