Once again with the subtlety of a brick through a plate glass window Don the Con has made his intentions clear about Robert Mueller’s investigation: If you bring charges against my peeps I will pardon them before they are even bought to trial, Procedure be damned.
I was surprised when Trump won in November (in my defense I plead James Comey and Russian Hacking). I AM NOT surprised by this. DtC recognizes no authority but his own and believes his Presidency is safe because the only way to fire him is impeachment.
The Republican Nut Jobs (and yes the majority R’s are crazy) have no spine (Amplitur without mind control). Even if they did a Cowardly Lion meets the Wizard special they view the hairpiece as a useful tool in their 80 year quest to destroy the New Deal. They will never impeach him, and he knows it, and does not care.
Until Trump faces actually criminal liability that he can’t bribe his way out of he will not back down.
