So Entitlement Barbie was in court yesterday, giving sworn testimony to DC Attorney General, on a case that is both Federal AND state (DC district) law. It may be why Barr was summoned urgently for 2 hours to WH yesterday.
Remember. A Presidential pardon (by Trump, possibly Pence, and of course not by Biden) would ONLY apply to FEDERAL crimes, not state level crimes. And does not absolve the guilt of any CIVIL lawsuits (damages). Trump CANNOT pardon Ivanka for DC lawsuit (in total, maybe part)
We knew from Mueller Report, that at least 12 potential crimes were 'farmed out' to states. At least one certainly involved 'Individual One' that is known to be Trump, and sent his attorney Michael Cohen to prison. It is essentially CERTAIN to land Trump into prison after 20 Jan
We know from Manhattan DA's office, that at least one of Mueller's farmed out cases is a tax crime relating to NY state. Eric Trump has already been forced to give testimony. He did so for 6 hours, in other words he was not hiding behind the 5th Amendment refusing to testify
Relating to that tax crime are at least 3 other states with similar Trump tax crimes: Illinois, California & Florida.
These are ALL crimes that Trump cannot pardon away. They WILL send Trump to Prison (tax crimes never expire). And they will take OTHER Trumpomobsters into prison
Ivanka's latest DC crime involves inaugration finance fraud. It ALSO includes Melania, and some of Trump's 2016 election team members.
This tells us that MULTIPLE independent lawsuits/crimes are being processed against Trump. They WILL rot in prison, very soon

YES he's going to pardon his kids, and try to pardon himself. What does this all mean?
Trump Pardons Thread 2/26
Trump was always going to pardon his kids (& Jared Bonesaw Boy) & some closest to him from his past before politics (Hope Hicks) & some he trusts most in his political life (Stephen Miller). This was inevitable
He will also try to pardon himself.
Trump Pardons Thread 3/26
While Trump WILL attempt to pardon himself (possibly in more ways than one), it WILL NOT PREVENT Trump from going to prison in 2021, for the rest of his life. Because he has committed STATE crimes that a President cannot pardon. They START with NY taxes
As Trump is nearing the end of his Presidential shield against criminal prosecution, lets preview a bit of Donald Trump's own (personal) crimes & civil lawsuits that are coming up.
This is an overview thread
Trump Crimes thread 2/20
Trump has a SERIES of crimes & civil lawsuits coming up, that have DRAMATICALLY different impacts. Let's be clear about these. So a brief intro thread to the full range of what awaits Trump from January 20, 2021
Trump Crimes thread 3/20
Understand Trump STANDARD operating procedure. He lies, he denies, he falsifies. Refuses testimony, refuses evidence, destroys evidence. Fires happen at Trump offices in alarming frequency. Plus he bribes & intimidates. Onerous Non-disclosure agreements

MAGA ie Make America Great Again is not Trump. It is Reagan. His slogan was Let's Make America Great Again. Trump stole from Reagan of course, dumped the first word only so that he could fit it on a hat. He wanted to sell those hats..
Trump slogan thread 2/3
So how about Fake News? That is not a Trumpism either, although it sure sounds like it. Who was the Trumpiest Republican before Trump? Sarah Palin. This is a Sarah Palin phrase. Yes. Trump is quoting Sarah Palin. Tells us all we need to know

So what of Drain the Swamp?
And Deep State?
These sound like core Trump messages? Were designed by the psycho warfare unit at Cambridge Analytica (=Bannon =Mercers) for 2016.
Were both developed with brainwashing unit of FSK (=ex KGB) of Russia (=Putin)
Exactly. Anything that was supposed to be, is no more. Anything purchased has been paid but not delivered. Anything previously owned has already been sold. Exactly like Trump's bankruptcies but on GARGANTUAN scale
Remember the Strategic Oil Reserve? And how Trump took advantage of filling it, when oil prices were so low? Imagine USA ordering the oil, Mnuching approving payment, and later we find, the oil was never delivered? Money? Vanished
Remember Saudi big weapons purchase? Often weapon systems are sold from existing stockpiles and the money used to replenish USA stockpile. We may find a MASSIVE hole in US military inventory, Saudis paid (money vanished) and the WEAPONS are now missing...
