COWARDS
Ah but you forget Donny’s infamous “who gonna stop me?” loophole.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Didn’t the supreme Court rule that laws don’t apply to a sitting president?
Does that also apply to the people surrounding him? I mean, he’ll likely just pardon anyone, but still…
SCOTUS’ decision re: presidential immunity does not (so far) apply to people other than the president himself. It’s also not clear that the president can pardon criminal contempt charges brought by a judge. I expect that we’ll be hearing more from SCOTUS about this in the near future…
You make it sound so broad. Really, it only works if they say the magic words “this is an official act,” before, during or any time after what they are doing.
The President, yes. The rest of the administration, no.
Sure, but the president can (and will) pardon any of them.
You can’t pardon a contempt charge.
I mean, a congress member seems to be saying he can. If he “can’t” he’ll do it anyways, it’ll go to the supreme court and they’ll say it’s fine.

Edit: apparently that’s actually part of what Joe Arpaio was pardoned for.
That’s why Donny has the golden ticket get out of jail free card
Ah; but they didn’t say that laws don’t apply to a sitting administration.
So don’t impeach Trump again. But jail everyone who followed his orders.
honestly, that would be funny to see.
send everyone to jail except trump, let him sit in the whitehouse all alone.
except that trump will just pardon everyone so it is irrelevant.
Ah; but that’s the beauty of it.
Trump has been doing the “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks” thing so that others have to scramble to keep up.
If the courts start jailing everyone who follows his orders, someone has to fill out all that paperwork to get them released again. Meanwhile, those people go to jail too.
Big words for nothing.
Like, what are they gonna do, arrest them? They’d be out in four hours and countersue for billions.
If you want a real solution, the French taught the One.
Pardons incoming…
Say what you want about Trump, he is the most polite president, he’s always like “Pardon me”
Good! THAT will DEFINITELY Stop Him!
The judge said he could hold hearings and potentially refer the matter for prosecution if the administration does not act to remedy the violation. If Trump’s Justice Department leadership declines to prosecute the matter, Boasberg said he will appoint another attorney to do so.
I find this interesting. If they’re at all dependent on the Justice Dept to enforce this, nothing is going to happen. I could see the Justice Dept taking up this case causing it to slow to a crawl.
Last time the Justice Dept wrote a report saying the Trump admin were guilty of breaking the law but wouldn’t do anything and leave it up to the Congress to impeach, which didn’t happen because of Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans abdicating their responsibility to the Constitution.
