That and he's a center of attention seeking ass clown. His life is about selling the carnival show to an audience. He needs the adulation to satisfy his id. He's truly a modern day PT Barnum albeit a much worse human being overall.

Chlamydia?
I'd argue she's second only to her father in her cunning ability. She's been doted by him from an early age and is his favorite.
No, it solely at the president’s discretion to pardon federal convictions.
In theory, Trump could write a memo tomorrow pardoning everyone in the US convicted of a federal crime, open the jail doors across the country and enjoy the mayhem. Pardons also cannot be retracted.
It's surprising that the person receiving the pardon doesn't even actively need to seek it - like a formal letter requesting pardon. Not sure what the original intent behind such a pardon was..
Trump pardoned that scumbag Joe Arpaio who admitted to running concentration camps, no one else is worse than that.
I dunno, Manafort was possibly involved in giving the order to shoot protestors and start the Ukraine conflict. His daughter believes he was.

Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist Paper #74 is what you seek.
George Mason led the campaign against the pardon power being included in the Constitution, but Hamilton in #74 made the argument that something like a Prerogative of English Kings pardoning power could help a future president in stopping a rebellion.
I hope those pimp ass jackets were worth it.
WowThe evidence from Pecker and Weaselberg alone has got to be a fecking gold mine for the Mueller team.

I honestly don't see any plausible way for Trump to survive this one as any law that was has ever been broken by the Trump organization will come under the microscope.
Shhhh don't say Mueller he's investigating collusionThe evidence from Pecker and Weaselberg alone has got to be a fecking gold mine for the Mueller team.
That's why he "handed this over " to the most powerful district attorney office in the entire country
The SDNY is going to nail them to the cross and probably test the supreme Court to indict the president
So if he's getting immunityimagine who they are really going after
I'm open to suggestions as to why this isn't game over for Trump and his kids. Can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be.

What a week ,And still more time till the weekend.
Only thing I can think of is Pecker and Allen were given immunity before Cohen place had his office searched. Therefore they only gave testimony about him and the end game was just Cohen.
But even then that still would leave executive - 1 (Don Jnr ) as a Co conspirator and there's absolutely no reason not to indict him.
I really can't see how at the very least Don Jr isn't charged here. And if Don Jnr is charged they have to charge the president as well as he's the one that benefitted from all of this.
Thanks for this.
So many of these laws were made with the an intent that really generally doesn't apply anymore.
Weisselberg getting immunity surely is THE definitive proof justice is set on ensuring the snake completely dies by violently cutting off its very head? I did not expect him to get immunity as well.
Weisselberg then sent the invoice to another Trump Organization executive via e-mail directing him to "Please pay from the Trust. Post to legal expenses. Put 'retainer for the months of January and February 2017' in the description."
I wonder who would be executive - 2
Who would have authority to pay from the Trust
He didn't just get immunity - he got transactional immunity. As in, he can't be prosecuted by SDNY, Mueller, or any other federal jurisdiction.He must be sitting on a mountain of hard evidence so valuable that the feds gave him the absolute highest form of immunity.
Permission to *** with excitement sir?
I’ve already knocked one out. I don’t want to be the only one.
My body is giddy.
At this rate, Trump will stroke out.
He's gonna go ape shit when he realises he can't pardon state charges or do that much about them.
Who was in charge of the Trump organisation during the campaign...Eric or Don Jr?
Surely only a Trump had authority to access the trust as Weisselberg didn't have that authority?

No, but like with most things, Trump is shredding any previous norms with regards to impropriety, decency, and legitimacy. He has shown an eagerness to use the pardon power to help anyone he views as loyal, and nobody in his party is questioning it.
What a decent man would do.
He can't take the fall since the prosecutors wouldn't have accepted the immunity agreement without first knowing what Weisselberg had to offer. Part of the agreement is for him to testify exactly what they agreed on or else the immunity agreement will be voided and he could be prosecuted.
Fair enough. Let's hope it works out that way.
Trump himself. He didn't relinquish his role till January 2017
Yeh that's not how immunity works .. Which is slightly different from flipping

3/ The decision about when to give a witness immunity (versus forcing them to plead guilty and get a deal to “flip”) is a complicated one. If prosecutors didn’t have enough evidence to charge Weisselberg and couldn’t make their case without him, immunity was their only option.

4/ There can be no question that Weisselberg provided valuable testimony to prosecutors. Prosecutors don’t give immunity “blindly”—they would have required Weisselberg’s attorney to tell them what Weisselberg would say if he testified *before* they gave him immunity.
Wouldn't the immunity agreement probably also be contingent on Weisselberg actually giving what he offered? He couldn't just turn around and say "lol, jk".
If I've learned anything from The Shield, and I think I have, it's that you have to give up everything.
Oh boy he must feel like the walls are closing in as that star wars ep4 scene.
That probably settles it then. The money came directly with his authorisation. Probably means he's the executive being g investigated.
How the feck can the USA have a president under criminal investigation and no one in the party is telling him to step aside?
