    Remember- presidents cannot pardon state-level crimes. Even if he were elected, if he were found guilty here, he couldn’t pardon himself.

      Sure, but who is going to hold him accountable? The justice department can’t do anything when the supreme court is willing to fold on constitutional law in favor of personal interest and partisan loyalism – checks and balances only work when they’re impartial and that’s just not the case right now. I definitely wouldn’t be holding my breath waiting for any Trump conviction to have any actual impact.

        I guess it depends on whether or not he can be extradited to Georgia if found guilty. Otherwise all he has to do is just never go to Georgia.

          Or any state willing to extradite him to Georgia.

        Brian Kemp has been nose deep in Trump’s orange grundle for years, the only delay he would have in pardoning Trump is because of all the orgasms he’d have while drawing up the paperwork.

          The governor of Georgia does not have the power to issue pardons.

            And he is not on Trump’s side. He might be a right-wing asshole, but he doesn’t like Trump.

            TIL. And there are eight other states where this is true. Done with the internet today. Don’t want to learn too much.
