If trump gets convicted of crimes committed while in office, after defeat, can his retirement be revoked? Even after he is dead, I think Melanoma will get to leach off tax payers for the rest of her life. Have they not criminally looted our taxes enough? And, Pence for being complicit, or even criminally involved. Thom Hartmann said this AM, that if trump resigns and appoints Pence for pardon, HIS pension would sky rocket. That is sickening to think we pay them for life, after theft and treason.

Nothing, and goes broke(er) paying attorneys for life fighting all the crimes from his whole life. And better, no way Melanoma could survive of $20,000 annual and stamps, especially if sugar daddy destroys the USPS. How could she possibly Be Best? She couldnt even sell her stamps for glamour wear. Again, thank you for the link.

(11,199 posts)Believe that is just the way it will be, but, if he gets back in with Putins help, and we take senate and congress, with big numbers, I think impeachment and removal will be possible. At least I gotta have faith, in something, these dark days.

No jury will convict him, and I doubt if any prosecutor will go after him for what would be deemed political crimes. I doubt a jury would acquit him either, but there will always be at least one trumpster to hang a jury.
Now, cheating on taxes, etc., might get him in trouble.

The postage, on the other hand...
