The AG in question spoke in support of Trump at the GOP convention this year and is considered a protogee of Mitch McConnell, in case anyone was wondering.

Filing another one under, I knew lots of stuff the American public needed to know to avoid disastrous politicking but I didn?t want to spoil my book deal.
Also where are all pitchforks for the enablers in the Senate?

Honestly as bad as Trump is, this Stephen Miller asshole is far worse. He's going to escape any form of punishment but his hands are all over the atrocities occurring at the US-Mexico border. I would gladly make an exception for witch hunts and burning at the stake for this monster.

If Trump loses, and boy do I hate that I still have to genuinely say if, how to deal with the crimes committed by the Trump administration is going to be probably the most difficult thing for a Biden Administration to deal with. Because while we all know what justice would require, there's no getting around that there's a dangerous precedent in having a new administration seeing members of the old one prosecuted. Some people have suggested a South African style reconciliation committee which seems unreasonably forgiving but something's got to give if there's any chance of America remaining a united country.
It's been awhile since I highlighted one of these, so for old times sake:

If he resigned and Pence pardoned him he'd be immune from federal prosecution but, as I understand it, not from prosecution in New York State where most of the financial crimes he's credibly accused of took place.
And, for what it's worth, it's somewhat murkier territory but when it comes to immunity from federal crimes I don't even know if he'd need Pence vs. just pardoning himself.
Can anyone envision a scenario where Trump actually concedes if he loses? I can?t. I figure he won?t say anything and just leave, or put up the biggest of fights until jan.
Man November is going to suck. And I am not even American. I just want this lunatic gone.
My son was arguing with me saying that Biden is a poor candidate and I said I do not care, at this point if they put a goat wearing a hat in the White House as president it would be an improvement over this lunatic.
As flawed as Biden may be, at least he appears to have empathy and act like a normal human being. The White House can go back to the back room shenanigans and whatever deals they do, it?s better than this quasi dictator.
And many some of our American friends here can help me understand something. Why is social health care so evil? I don?t get it at all.

Born and raised (and now living in) in NY state.
Lots of people in this country don't trust the government to run a national health care system because they see all the waste and fraud in other government programs (medicare/medicaid for example), and they hear the horror stories that come out of the V.A. Plus among about half the population there is a strange aversion to "social" anything, despite the fact that they all plan to collect their "social security" payments, they all drive on roads paid for and maintained by tax dollars, etc. There's a ton of hypocrisy in this country.
My belief is that we're going to have to go to a national healthcare system someday and may as well start now. I don't have a great deal of confidence about how it will work out, but the current system is unsustainable for most.
As for Trump, I don't see him conceding unless the results are truly a landslide. If it's close, and it probably will be in many of the battleground states, he's going to challenge everything he can. I voted for the first time in like 30 years. There hasn't been much reason to vote, since I live in NY which is so overwhelming democrat-supporting, the electoral college system makes my vote really kind of pointless. But this year, I want the margin of victory to be as large as possible.

I don't think there's a single, solitary chance he does a traditional concession speech if he loses but I do kind of agree with the people who say that Trump hates being President and would be more amenable to leaving than some think.
Oh sure, on the way out the door he'll say the election was stolen due to massive voter fraud and maybe even launch some legal challenges but if it's a pretty safe EC margin I think he goes all the same.
