    state charges too, Trump cant pardon those. Maybe thats the answer for republican law breakers, move all the federal laws to the state books. (Or maybe thats a bad idea, I’m not a lawyer)

      This is a great idea. Moving everything from the Feds to the states is a core conservative value, so they should welcome this.

        They care about this as much as they care about proper handling of classified information

          They’ll care plenty when their representatives start getting tossed in state penitentiaries, where they can’t be pardoned.

              States are different from Federal. If a blue state incarcerates a MAGA leader, there’s nothing HitlerPig can do to get them loose, short of military force.

              It would be fun to snatch up Jr on a cocaine charge.

                  A state will never get HitlerPig, he’s got SCOTUS immunity superpowers, but that immunity doesn’t extend to anyone else. If one of his henchmen has broken state laws, throw the state book at them.
