    Stone, Flynn, and Bannon were all there, or on their way, before getting pardoned.

        So vote for Biden this year. Trump, as president, could ask people to commit crimes and then just pardon them. Nixon only resigned because it “looked bad”.

        There are no legal repercussions as long as no one rats the president out. Why would they when he can pardon them?

        I wonder what guys like Robert Mueller must think seeing how things have played out since his investigation. Maybe he’s just fine with it.

          I was just thinking about Blade Runner. The point being that people get swallowed up in bureaucracies and act like machines.

          My guess is that he thinks he was just doing his job and did it well and is fine with how it turned out.

      Bannon was also sentenced to a similar amount of time, but the judge let him free while he awaits his appeal to work its way through the system.
