Huge. Thanks.
YES.
ANSWER:
1) He would GAIN NONE. Were all voting for him anyway.
2) He might LOSE some votes.
Remember Gerald Fords justification for the Nixon pardon: Hes suffered enough.
Beleive me, L.J., there were a lot of people, even Nixon haters, who did not want to see a President prosecuted like a common criminal.
Now HRC ... maybe.
First off, thanks for all the pings of support for the rule of law. Been a very busy day so far so it might be tough to get back online until tonight.
Disestablishmentarian, I will have to respectfully disagree with this. One thing we have learned with this Great Awakening movement is this culture, the deep state owns or influences is very, very corrupt (did we not learn from the Mueller Report or all the lies against our President?). Going back to this corrupt past will do absolutely nothing to restore the rule of law in this nation.
If you want to bring up Nixon's pardon, I'll give you this example of why it is wrong to let any of the corrupters off the hook. Remember, "...it was only sex" when it came to giving Slick Willie a pass? We all understood his crimes were far worse but we all let him have a pass because there was so much we now understand was stacked against us. This corrupt culture was protecting the corrupt status quo. Tell us how that all worked out since 8 years later we ended up with an even more corrupt, 0bama.
We just cannot allow this corrupt culture to define our futures anymore by being worried about what they think or what they may do. Just like, "...it was just sex", they will play on our "feelings" with "you can't put a former president on trial" or "...you can't for the good of the nation". You know it's coming if they still have the power to do so. I'm hoping they don't once all is revealed but we have to get their wicked ways out of our mindset.
We just can't afford to have another "0bama" 8 years down the road because we didn't have the cajones to put them down when we did. We need to quit caring about what their corrupt culture will do or think and do the right thing for the future of this nation.

Some tidbits from the morning session of the trial. Reporter Ayla Ferrone from WTEN has been posting updates.
o Tanya Hajjar, the Assistant US Attorney, gave the opening statement for the prosecution. She emphasized Keith Raniere is a predator and conman who used his followers for his own benefit.
o Mark Agnifilio gave an opening statement for the defense and claimed Raniere was only interested in making people's lives more meaningful and encouraged the jury to look at things through Keith's eyes. Sheesh. To be expected. He also claimed NXIVM was all about BBQs and volleyball and members enjoyed themselves. [too bad the BBQs were branding his slaves]. His bottom line is that jurors need to consider whether Raniere had the intent to commit crimes. Sound like a familiar defense? I guess Agnifilio wants people to believe Keith was innocent while all these crimes circulated around him.
o One juror was excused and replaced by an alternate this morning due to a hardship. That leaves five alternates remaining.
o The prosecution discussed a Mexican family that followed Raniere to Albany. And brought their three daughters. All of which had sex with Raniere. One of which he started raping when she was 15 and he took pictures. Another sister was the one locked up in a room in one of his houses for almost two years as punishment for offending Keith.Evidently at least these two sisters will be testifying for the prosecution.
o The prosecution's first witness will be Sylvie Lloyd and notMark Vincente as expected. Parlato reported on her and her husband Jon Fox last August. She's English and was a reputed lover of Clare Bronfman. She and Fox were another arranged marriage by Raniere so Lloyd could stay in the US and be part of NXIVM. (Raniere also arranged a lesbian marriage between Allison Mack and Canadian actress Nicki Clyne so Nicki could stay in America.
o Here are some further details about the morning proceedings.
o There are some other tawdry details from the New York Post coverage of today.
Updates from the afternoon session should be forthcoming. I'll try and keep up. Sylvie Lloyd's testimony for the prosecution should be enlightning.

ThanQ, CJ! All happily accepted!
Why, that's not spying. That's what we call infiltration and covert observation. Certainly NOT spying!"
Same for Cankles. As much as I would like to see her in prison, I really doubt you'll ever see it. One thing though -- her losing the election is pretty satisfying seeing her reaction still. Over two years later and she can't get over it. She must get up every morning absolutely seething. I love it.
I tried to submit a post and it’s under review. I then tried to send you a freepmail, and was told my account was too new for that feature. I’ve been here since 2001 — what gives
Hate to say it, but you are dreaming. Millions of people idolize and practically worship the 0.
I wish Mr. Trump would just go ahead and DECLAS something. I thought we were on offense now. Q teased but now what?
Agree. Q states 9 times “...THEY WILL NOT BE SAFE WALKING DOWN THE STREET.”
This phase is titled JUSTICE.
You are seriously ill-informed. Practically no one comes to listen to him.
Some on twitter are saying dims will move on impeachment tomorrow.
45 will be here in Panama City where I am tomorrow evening for a big rally. I have our tickets, we are ready.
Should be a hell of a show!
Overplaying our hand is a real danger. We dont want to appear to be Shylock pressing the judge for our pound of flesh. I think Zero stays free but has his legacy destroyed. Hillary must go to prison, however, she is the most corrupt official in the history of the nation. The co-conspirators it goes without saying... lock them up for most of the rest of their lives until they are very old. We need to stop calling for hangings and firing squads... we have to consider that many will not want to go that far. My humble opinion....
"In his final statement, lead prosecutor Colonel Mike Mulligan said:
[Hasan] can never be a martyr because he has nothing to give ... Do not be misled; do not be confused; do not be fooled. He is not giving his life. We are taking his life. This is not his gift to God, it's his debt to society. He will not now and will not ever be a martyr.Sauce
I find that an encouraging possibility related to the Giant Slide, er, side conversation that's been going on.
(Back to work, FReeQs!)
Thank YOU for all that you do!
Oh, I wasn't thinking "High road" at all. I was thinking "Suicide" would be better than a long drawn out trial and public execution, even though a bit less entertaining.
