      Now consider that Trump is already speaking in interviews as if he has the guaranteed immunity in his pocket…

      He already promised he’ll take nasty revenge on his rivals, have people removed who are thwarting him now. Promises drilling drilling drilling (I assume for oil) from day one, regardless if there’s a law or rules against that which would normally need to be overturned first…

      Somehow he is riding on the done deal he can do whatever he wants the moment he is “elected” and there will be no one to stop him.
