IVANKA: Daddy, don't pardon anyone who is not family. Not Manafort, not Giuliani. The more you pardon, the bigger the risk that there will be investigations. Keep pardons just within the family, Daddy.
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
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..

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)
