Politicians are cheap whores, and can be bought for the cost of a mid-range mountain bike. It's pathetic how little some have been ~~bribed~~ lobbied for.
Lock him up
Now can we charge him with treason?
According to SCOTUS he's immune.
Not if he did that before he became president.

His whole life is part of his official acts in his brief stint as president, and so he's immune
It would genuinely we weird if they hadn't
That seems depressingly low.
Trump was literally broke. And there's no way he will ever willingly sell any of his possessions.

They're load shedding (cutting off power) for hours every day because "the state can't afford it"

The investigation was closed under former Attorney General William Barr, a Trump loyalist who reportedly questioned whether there was sufficient evidence to continue the probe, which has not been renewed under Attorney General Merrick Garland
