arjie 3 days ago What constrained the sum to less than $2 billion? It looks like he sued originally for $10 b. Considering he relatively controls both sides, what stops him from choosing an arbitrary amount? huhkerrf 3 days ago The arbitrary amount is $1.776 billion. Like everything that Trump does, there's an extra level of gaudiness on top. arjie 3 days ago Okay, that's somewhat amusing. I'm just wondering why not $17.76 billion if he controls both sides. r-w 3 days ago The biggest amount that right-wing media could reasonably ignore?

President not just pardoning their own crimes, but their future crimes too. That's quite the move.
And for their children, and their children's families.
All, or just specific years?
Anyway, a future AG can just say "agreement is over". No justice has blessed it, it's no more than a promise by this administration.
It’s all future years for the entire Trump family, by my understanding.
How is that safe from being voided later on?
