Remember over the summer when AG Barr tried to oust Geoffrey Berman as US attorney in SDNY and it blew up? Acting US Atty Audrey Strauss, Berman's former deputy who ultimately took over, has now been serving so long that she's been court-appointed to stay in the job

Trump today said he will nominate Paolo Zampolli, Melania Trump's former modeling agent, to the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees. He also named Pam Bondi, who defended him during impeachment, to that board, one of a series of appointments he’s been doling out to friends & aides.

For at least a year I've been convinced Trump is gonna leave before the actual inauguration. My reasons for believing so have varied, but I just have this innate feeling that he's gonna just quit several days before his term is actually up.

You think he leaves without pardoning his family?

Nah, he's got time to do that before he takes off, or to make arrangements with Pence to do it.

Michael Cohen brought up a point in regards to pardoning his family. If the family gets full pardons, they lose the right to use the 5th amendment to avoid answering certain questions.

It explains why his base has stuck with him, but it also explains why so many people around him have been intoxicated by him and why so many have gotten in legal trouble. We’re now at a point where Rudy Giuliani looks like he’s in real trouble. Steve Bannon looks like he’s in real trouble. Is Trump going to just pardon everyone?

No. Let me again dig deep into the mentality of Donald Trump. Donald Trump cares for no one or anything except for himself. That includes his own children. Let’s talk about the pardons. Will Donald Trump pardon these individuals, which he certainly has the power to do? No. Because the first thing he’s evaluating when deciding who to pardon and who not to is: What’s in it for me? What you have to understand is that if he pardons Jared Kushner, and it would be considered a pre-pardon because Jared hasn’t been accused of any crimes yet, Jared loses his Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. That means that Jared could be compelled to testify and the questions that will be asked of him will undoubtedly be about Donald Trump. He’s now thinking, Wait a minute, if I give this guy a pass to keep his ass out of prison, he may be putting mine in. I’m not so sure he’s going to be doing that. He has to really evaluate who could pose problems for him, knowing that the attorney general has the right to his taxes and so does the D.A. in New York, and there will be a multitude of cases coming out of that situation. So the question becomes: if I give someone a pardon, how can that hurt me rather than help me?
