The last five years has been nothing more than a huge con to protect Donald Trump, to a lesser extent, his offspring, and money. Being President enabled him to divert IRS and FBI attention away from him and his activities. The constitution kept New York and other states from indicting him.

                Ivanka Trump has just been questioned in moving money from the campaign to their Washington, D. C. hotel by greatly increasing the price of Trump events at the hotel. That diversion of funds is illegal!

                Trump, Jr. wrote a best seller which surprised people who know him. Even with a ghost writer it allowed the campaign to buy tens of thousands of Junior’s books putting campaign money into Junior’s pocket. That’s illegal, too.

                Why was more money so important to the campaign in the last few months before the election? The family and friends listed as campaign people blew through $800 million on plush resorts, fancy cars, meals, and other luxury expenses having no connection to the campaign. Much of the money was spent at Trump properties. That’s illegal, too.

                The current grift is the fundraising to fight voting fraud. So far they have conned over $2,700 million from his gullible followers. Someone donating money must spend over $5,000 before any money goes toward that baseless effort. Guess where the first $5,000 from each person goes! Now that con IS legal, since you are told!                

Even after he pardons himself and his family for all the Federal offenses, they can still be indicted under the state laws of New York and Florida. High priced lawyers will try to postpone trials and jail time.

            Aside from Trump being a narcissistic, megalomaniac, sociopath, why is he conning his base into giving him money for a legal battle to stay in office? His deceived and gullible base has donated over $200 Million to that deception. Unless they read the fine print, the first $5,000 goes to his campaign to be used to pay off his former campaign debt, and for him and his family to take trips around this country and maybe others under a guise of a campaign expense. Much of the donated money from the last campaign was wasted on buying, not leasing, expensive cars, penthouses, and thousand dollar dinners.

                As sneaky as that sounds, the real reason is prison sentences for the rest of his life. He might try to throw his kids under the bus, but his signature is on the documents that New York is using to build their case. He can pardon himself (legally questionable), or resign and hope Pence will pardon him like Ford did Nixon. That would create another problem for him. He could only be pardoned from Federal prosecution, not state. When called by the state to testify about broken state laws he would either risk jail by refusing to testify, explain the reason for the pardoning of crimes committed, or face an obstruction of justice sentence (5th amendment can’t be used, as he is pardoned from Federal Crimes committed before the pardon).

                The sentences could be years in a white collar prison and tens of hundreds of millions in fines and penalties. His adult sons and daughters along with some of their friends and employees could go to jail also. He is petrified of January 21, 2021 and the probability of a handful of subpoenas.
