We may not be able to stop Trump from tossing pardons left and right, but there's a LOT we can do about it.
You could, for example, encourage him to do so, make him pardon everone in the GOP...

A lot of lawyers agree on that by accepting a pardon you admit to the criminal guilt. Anyone pardoned is automatically out of the race 2024...

There is nothing in the law or constitution that says felonious criminals can't be in Congress or president.

The idea there is to avoid something like a dictator locking up their opposition. There has to be a happy middle. Commit tax fraud, illegal stock trades? You should not be trusted with any government position involving apportioning funds, which would lock them out completely.

Won't even happen.

The article acts as though Biden will personally be pursuing a case against Trump. That really isn't the case, at least for now. It is NY and they've been developing that over quite some time now. Whomever Biden appoints AG may or may not pursue other crimes and that could be seen as Biden pursuing Trump. People probably won't make that distinction, though, because Trump is going to squeal like a stuck pig that he's being persecuted by Biden.

Regardless, I am of the opinion that he needs to be pursued. Never have we had such a criminal in that office. If he skates away from justice that sets a terrible precedent.

One of those "no duh" news stories from the end of the year pile.
I'm not sure whether to be pleased to see it reported or sad that it needs to be.

I predict, though, that while many of them may find their opportunities blighted for the next few years, then provided they keep their heads down and don't do anything too disastrously stupid, they'll soon enough find themselves more or less rehabilitated, at least in the social, professional and business circles in which they move.

Some will doubtless have ruined what might otherwise have been a brilliant career, but I think most of them will recover.

This I base on what I saw when Communism collapsed in the USSR and the former People's Republics in Europe. Those were far less popular and more criminal and corrupt regimes even than Trump's for the most part, but the apparatchiks and nomenclatura or whatever you want to call them -- people with блат -- mostly managed to get on with their lives and careers, or start successful new ones, after only a few rather rocky years.

Trump, the lion giraffe zebra combo!
What a scourge on gryphons and sphinx everywhere! And the wife with the fake heart of gold? Puleeeze. How soon they forget the lying visit to the border, how she so immediately rescued those desperate children. NOT! Grrr. These culty people are mind-boggling in their delusions.
