Side question: If Trump just pardons the people responsible, does it matter if it's illegal?
- llamaimperative 2y agoI have a sneaking suspicion that pardons aren't going to mean much at the end of this term.

- perihelions 2y agoI think Trump would fire any US Attorney who forces him to actually write a pardon. The clear expectation of federal prosecutors is that it's off-limits to criminally pursue Trump functionaries carrying out his orders. He's fired 30+ AUSA's just *this week*, because they had previously prosecuted Trump allies.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoI guess it's up to the states to sue the government then. Trump can't fire publicly elected state AG's. If he's gonna try to privatize everything with "state's rights", we gotta use those state's powers against him. Using the rulebook he's bound by.
