Accepting a pardon is seen as an admission of guilt; and if you've been pardoned, then you cannot incriminate yourself, as that's already happened - so you'd lose the 5th for matters pertaining to that pardon.
And somewhere in there, is enough wriggle-room to keep a lot of lawyers busy and paid for a long time.
Syphoning the inherited wealth off stupid cunts that don't understand the legal system is the national sport in 'Murrica.
Did anyone else see the US removed a paragraph on affordable treatment for tuberculosis from a UN treaty ?.
Anyone know the contents of said para'..?. It was reported on Russia Today but I've not seen it mentioned elsewhere.

We may as well shut the board down here; I think we've achieved complete entelechy.
Trump's started hacking away at the Manafort case on Twitter claiming that he's being treated worse than Capone and it's all rigged and biased. Clearly setting it up to be discredited as anti-Trump politics in the eyes of his supporters so that when he pardons him, it can be spun as righting a wrong, rather than cheating the legal system.
It's just possible that not only does trump not do much grocery shopping but that he's never even been in a grocery store. kudos to the staffer who set him up to look such a nonse on ID requirements
It's not even that normal to get asked for ID when buying booze based on my limited exposure to the states, more common than here but that's not a high bar to clear

Surely not?!?
I'm sure some of his core support will lap it up, but I reckon many will begin to question their support.
Does anyone know if that could lead to a likelihood of impeachment?
It might lead to impeachment but what it wouldn’t do is end the investigation, it'd only send ownership of the process back to the FBI
It's reaching a stage where even impeachment won't change anything.
Ken Livingstone is notorious for claiming that 'if voting changed anything, they'd ban it'.
Cunty McCunt Trump is rewriting the political lexicon.

That's not what Ken is notorious for
Maybe not,.....but I'd feckin love him in the bun fight today.
At least we'd have a local councillor with probity.
I'm sick to the back teeth of the scum in local government.
So he's winning the trade war with China , opened the EU food market for US farmers and will pay down the national debt using tariffs.
Or in the real world China is poised to escalate the trade war, the EU got him to agree they shouldn't even discuss agriculture other than the EU would buy more soy which it was doing anyway, and whatever is left over of the tariffs after subsidies to support domestic producers hurt by his trade wars would likely amount to 0.01% of the debt, if that, and that before the damage to the economy will hit harder anyway
And he's not just overtly wrong about this he's expecting praise
What actually is the given rationale for hiving off the role from the air force?
And what does Donny think his space force would look like, which is does he envisage what the Pentagon would realistically think doable, or does he have Imperial Star Destroyers in mind?
