    He was! He now has three indictments under his belt.

    1. New York State hush money payments
    2. Classified Documents Case
    3. January 6 Insurrection

    If you ask me, now we throw a few back tonight and wait for the fourth indictment coming from Georgia this month. 😎

        You ask me? Donny boy is royally fucked. The documents case is a few steps too far, and even a rich former president of the US will have to sit behind bars for that one. Hey SHOULD be in jail already for that one.

          A president can pardon federal crimes but not state crimes.

          Georgia law makes pardons an option only five years after the completion of a sentence. Getting a sentence commuted would require the approval of a state panel.
