David Rivera faces a maximum sentence of 60 years in prison. Esther Nuhfer faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. This good-for-nothing Republican miscreant has a sordid, violent, and corrupt history if you want to waste time reading about him in the internet.

I am a bit surprised at how much heat this all has produced considering who the President and his family represent, have represent, will represent, over time.
And yes, I fully expect Trump to resign if the midterms go as badly as predicted, so Vance can pardon him and his entire grifting empire.

I'll wager this crook has already asked his homie Li'l Marco about a pardon, in exchange for an honorarium' to Der Dotards favorite charity ...
