5. donnie will pardon all the criminals except he can't pardon himself.

he might let pence be president for one hour on janary 20th so pence can pardon donnie.

pence is not as likely to pardon everyone in donnie's administration.

donnie himself will never go to prison, at least not for a federal crime. by the time all the issues are argued, and there are so many ways for him to delay things, he'll play up the dementia/bad health angle and not see any prison time. mayyybe home confinement.

best we can realistically hope for is a massive penalty and back taxes from states like new york. if he is going to prison, it will be for tax fraud.


but my hope is that many, many of his minions go to prison. that will go a long way towards deterring anyone else from building a criminal enterprise from the white house. that's why the thing i fear most is a widespread pardon from donnie on his way out.
