Until recently I believed this.

After sheriff asshole, I no longer believe it.

Trump has zero power in state court, that is a fact!

His pardon of Aparo effectively handles Mueller. Mueller can do all the investigation his little heart desires. It won't mean a hill of beans because Trump effectively thumbed his nose to Mueller and said "Go ahead Bob. Investigate me. When you're done or maybe even before you're done I'll just pardon everyone and cut your investigation off at the knees. Hell - I got away with everything else I've done - so I might even pardon myself."

And guess what - somehow Trump will figure out a way to get around any State and local level probes. He might not be able to fire any state or local prosecutors - but he'll find out a way to discredit them and render them ineffective.

Everything and anything horrible seems possible and even likely now. Today I'm just hunkering down with my kitty, Bobo, and trying to manage my out of control emotions.

To be on the record.
Also a pardon is an admission of guilt.
States like New York can still charge him
And others.
He's not walking away clean.
