If - Donald the Great (Obstructor) gets his way, once he pardons someone (or Pence pardons him) - those person can't be prosecuted at State levels.

Gamble v. United States isnt related to the Russia investigation. But the outcomewhich one senior Republican senator has tried to influencecould still have consequences for the probe.

If Trump were to shut down the investigation or pardon his associates, the escape hatch, then, is for cases to be farmed out or picked up by state-level attorneys general, who cannot be shut down by Trump and who generallybut with some existing limitscan charge state crimes even after a federal pardon, explained Elie Honig, a former assistant U.S. attorney in New Jersey. If Hatch gets his way, however, a federal pardon would essentially block a subsequent state-level prosecution.

Like Sachs & Bain Cap., partnership in racketeering. The private courts rip off estates (ever hear of Actor Estate); and guardianships.
People reach out to me, every day, for help, including current cases where their mortgage is being taken away - illegally.
And, don't get me started on how FINRA protects the unscrupulous (purported financial advisors) who rip off people's life savings, without remorse or relent; because victims are forced to arbitrate through FINRA.
Then there's the facts that I've been fighting Sachs, Bain/ Mitt and their gangs organized crimes, for 18 years; and - despite my getting confessions - the courts state they don't care.

Of course, it could get worse -
