That said, GA going after him his awesome, regardless of the state's pardon authority.

And thanks for the clarification.

5. This is why removal would be key ... it would remove his Secret Service protections ...

Seems like there'd be a lot of complexities w/sending an ex-POTUS to state prison when the federal government is also obliged to provide agents to watch over him.

16. What we know for sure is he won't stop or give up power he can hold on to.

Which means he'll use every benefit of former POTUS status he can think of. Stone is still his buddy. As is Flynn. And Erik Prince. Secret service, intelligence, claiming all kinds of diplomatic immunity, LLC's to the max. And likely an alliance from the police that will be unsettling. We can't begin to imagine what he will dream up to get retribution.

He's a steamroller more than anything.

Georgia can expose his corruption without his tweets blaring out "Fake News!!"

Somehow his supporters have to face the fact that they've been used and abused and that he wants them to pay the price for his crimes. Maybe in time a segment will wake up.
