So, it was with more than a little smile on my face that I read that Mueller has been working with some state AG&#8217;s on a contingency plan to have Manafort tried in state courts that are beyond the reach of trump&#8230;and, I&#8217;m sure this contingency has been considered for everyone else that is under investigation in the trump\/Russia conspiracy case. So, idiot boy, go ahead and pardon everyone that is part of your elections stealing scheme&#8230;it will just be more evidence of your obstruction and it will make it far easier to put you in jail&#8230;impeach&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well&#8230;as predictable as the sun rising, the idiot trump is already talking about pardoning Paul Manafort for the 8 felonies he was convicted of just Tuesday&#8230;.you have to remember that traditionally the presidential pardon power has been used to right a wrong or to help someone who is really sorry for what they&#8217;ve done and &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/?p=16797\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Can&#8217;t pardon state charges&#8230;<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[424,838,1991,1427,2029],"class_list":["post-16797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-donald-trump","tag-impeachment","tag-pardons","tag-paul-manafort","tag-state-courts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16797"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16797\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16798,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16797\/revisions\/16798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
