At a minimum, it would neutralize the prospects for a pardon since he would know that pardoning himself or his own family members would make them all look guilty as feck and it wouldn't have much value given that the NY AG would still go after them.
You think it'll come to that?
Somewhere, when the investigation gets close and it looks like there is no way out for him, a deal will be worked out and he'll resign in the middle of the night after getting full immunity and will disappear from the public view. Pence will be installed and that'll be the end of it.

This is starting to feel more Harding Admin than Nixon.
Literally nobody in this thread will understand that reference, Mr. History trousers.

That's a distinct possibility. Although it would go against his instincts to "fight back", at some point there would be so much criminal dirt dredged up by a combination of Mueller, SDNY, and NYAG, that there would be pressure for him to resign, especially if it all happens in the lead up to 2020.
Not SDNY -- they are under the DOJ. Its the State of NY:
I feel like I'm sucking the fun out of this but how exactly is this new news? Underwood has already sued trump foundation and it was made clear that new York state was working along with SDNY with the Trump organisation investigation and Cohen.
I guess it already felt like this was clearly already being done by Underwood. I really don't see how this is any different than what was happening yesterday. New York state was never bound by justice department guidelines or presidential pardon. It was always the case and he and his entire organisation were already clearly under investigation by them. Underwood subpoenaed Michael Cohen in the summer iirc, and has been basically doing a mirror investigation to the SDNY to cover the chance that Trump pardons some key people.This is more sweeping, literally covering every blade of grass Trump or anyone related to him ever walked upon and not bound by justice department regulations or federal powers of pardon.

Yes I'm aware what the SDNY is. I'm saying new York state was working along side them as it related to Cohen and the Trump Organization. Underwood the acting attorney General for new York state who James is replacing , was already investigating trump. James coming out and saying we are going to lift every blade of grass to me is just grandstanding . They were already doing that with Underwood.SDNY is a federal district court and Underwood's investigation involves Trump foundation and their financial irregularities.

Haha you're right on that. Went to Wiki and was reading some of the scandals.
I would much prefer a quick overview from you or @Carolina Red
Harding appointed a bunch of unqualified friends and gambling buddies to government positions.Man, you can't leave us hanging like that. Give us a short history lesson!
Harding appointed a bunch of unqualified friends and gambling buddies to government positions.
It resulted in the Teapot Dome Scandal where they got caught taking bribes for oil in Wyoming and California. Teapot Dome was the biggest government scandal in US history before Watergate.
The scandal resulted in Harding dying of a heart attack.
Yes, I’d say it was foolish. Giving a smirking denial, then producing those 2” tourists” who were just visiting Salisbury was what piqued the interest of Bellingcat.I mean, was it foolish, really?
He's not faced any consequences for the blatant lie, nor the murder.
Cohen doesn’t start his prison sentence until the 6th March. He’d be safer inside. Trump won’t have been his only client.

Your a glass half empty type of guy huh?SO MUCH WOW! Another criminal like Nixon that will get away with his crimes and in a few years later we'll be frothing at the mouth to take another high class criminal down. Trump should be the start of the hunt but unfortunately Americans will cheer him taken down while backing a government containing the people who facilitated him while back a Democrat president who is less obvious about their crimes and biases. It'll take a long time yet for their semen to drop in your mouths.
