    I’m remembering his full-page ads calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5.

    Garcia and his family have slam-dunk civil cases against Trump in both his personal and professional capacities.

        Even if the courts are all in, you need someone in law enforcement willing to act against him.

        Jack Smith is out of office.

          FYI, Federal Justices can hire special prosecutors & deputize citizens as federal marshals, they don’t actually need the DoJ to administer justice.

          The Presidental pardon is the only issue here, but kidnapping is also a state crime.

            They would have to declare him illegitimate and thus intelligible to grant pardon. Which he is under the 14th amendment.

            They would also need to ignore the supreme court, but if we ever get that far, it goes without saying.

              The president cannot pardon a state crime. Kidnapping is both a state and a federal crime. If convicted in state court, the president is powerless to pardon.

        Uh huh, and then what? Wake me up when he actually experiences any kind of consequences for his actions.
