Lake is right of course. The VP is mainly for presidential succession. That obviously doesn't apply to an immortal super-being like D.J.

"If you f*** around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before." ~ Trump in 2020 clip recently re-posted on his social media account
 
"In the real world, folks, this is how things go. If other people want these things, go get them. Do the work to establish such a tradition in your family, if that's what they want to do." ~ investment banker Rob Longsworth, the seventh in his family to attend Amherst, defending legacy admissions

You do have to wonder how many of those family members would have made it on their own merits

I don't understand the history of legacy admissions. Based on basic economics:
- too many freshman admissions, and the institution can't handle them all
- not enough freshman admissions and the institution can't meet operating expenses, thus
- there's a goldilocks zone: not too many, not too few, ... juuuuuust right.

Did that play a role in establishing the tradition? A university short of the $sweet-spot accepted applicants related to past grads? Applicants that would otherwise not have qualified?
 
"You're too honest." ~ Trump to Pence, who denied he had the authority to reject presidential electors, per yesterday's indictment
 
"The American people deserve to know that President Trump and his advisers didn't just ask me to pause, they asked me to reject votes, return votes, to essentially overturn the election... I rejected that out of hand." ~ Mike Pence

"I feel badly for Mike Pence, who is attracting no crowds, enthusiasm, or loyalty from people who, as a member of the Trump Administration, should be loving him." ~ Trump

I'm going to put these in the Trump Criminal Charges thread as well
 
"This was never supposed to happen in America. We can't let this happen in America." ~ Trump after his indictment

"IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I'M COMING AFTER YOU!" ~ Trump post, three days later

"How is that not intimidation?...As someone who gets death threats every day, it makes me nervous." ~ Stephanie Grisham, former Trump WH Press Secretary

No question that his comments constitute witness intimidation (or whatever the relevant charges would be)

The question is:
then why is Trump still loose?

BONUS question:
If the law judges instruction to Trump is eventually enforced, and Trump held in custody for trial, will Trump be allowed to retain possession of his smart-phone? Are other prisoners, Trump's would be next "door" (next cell) neighbors allowed to have smart-phones?

Numerous corroborating reports indicate Trump's $fund $raising / campaign revenue increases following such government action. Is government going "hands off" w/ Trump for fear that the political martyrdom of incarceration would be a net benefit to Trump? And if so, isn't that evidence Trump's intimidation is working?
