    Can’t wait for him to get the “felon” label officially applied, spend 2 weeks in jail, then get elected while in jail, pardon himself, send the judge and jury to the border camps, then the liberals to cry and do nothing about it.

        That’s what the law says but for the last 30 years “what are you gonna fucking do about it” has worked every time against dems

        The Constitution grants the president the power to pardon “offenses against the United States”. An offense that violates state law, but not federal law, is an offense against that state rather than an offense against the United States; however, the Supreme Court has never ruled on this matter or in the President’s power to grant a habeas corpus petition for a state offense where it has been denied by a federal court.

        So it’s never been tested in court, the constitution doesn’t very explicitly deny the power… Not great odds with the current supreme court

      maybe someone can ghost write an autobiography for him while he’s in jail, they could call it something catchy like My Struggle

      I’d be surprised if he spends even an hour in jail.
