He's being charged in a Federal court, the SDNY. Which means that Trump can and will pardon him, eventually.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Except he probably won't be tried and convicted by the end of the year, no? KNOCK ON WOOD

Our wings are not tired.
I know he will pardon a very long list of people, and try and pardon himself. This nightmare is not close to being over.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Dangit. But can be pre-preemptively pardon him on his way out the door if the case is still ongoing?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I thought someone had to be convicted before you could pardon them, but I could be wrong.

Ugh. I managed to fuck things up today before even waking up.
Gud, unless you are stabbing people in your sleep, I'm going to say you didn't fuck anything up.
You are a good, kind, caring person. I wish people closer to you understood that.

The president can issue a pardon before conviction. See, Ford pardoning Nixon.
We will have students in classes on campus starting on Monday, and it is going to be a mess. I am trying to protect my staff as best as I am able, but it is really, really difficult when the Powers That Be care first about making it look like everything is a-okay and safe rather than actually making it safe. Signed, 78,000+ sq feet and only allowed 2 bottles of disinfectant from the U. (I bought some on my own dime for my staff, see also wipes which the U is not supplying at all, and hand sanitizer because the U's dispensers are sometimes empty with *no* students on campus).

Eep, Sparky1, I'm sorry. Good luck!

I keep seeing stories of colleges/universities where they have in-person classes and have to send everyone home because of infections.
