Thankfully he does not have a choice in going away. Effective 12:01 on January 21st he is no longer in office befouling it with his stench. At that point there are more than likely several dozen criminal investigations & charges going to levied against him. I foresee a load of legal problems following this miscreant from several sources.
Purdue Pharma pleaded guilty Tuesday to three criminal charges, formally taking responsibility for its part in an opioid epidemic that has contributed to hundreds of thousands of deaths but also angering critics who want to see individuals held accountable, in addition to the company.
In a virtual hearing with a federal judge in Newark, New Jersey, the OxyContin maker admitted impeding the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s efforts to combat the addiction crisis.
Purdue acknowledged that it had not maintained an effective program to prevent prescription drugs from being diverted to the black market, even though it had told the DEA it did have such a program, and that it provided misleading information to the agency as a way to boost company manufacturing quotas.
It also admitted paying doctors through a speakers program to induce them to write more prescriptions for its painkillers.
And it admitted paying an electronic medical records company to send doctors information on patients that encouraged them to prescribe opioids.
The guilty pleas were entered by Purdue board chairperson Steve Miller on behalf of the company. They were part of a criminal and civil settlement announced last month between the Stamford, Connecticut-based company and the Justice Department.

Members of the wealthy Sackler family who own the company have also agreed to pay $225 million to the federal government to settle civil claims.
No criminal charges have been filed against family members, although their deal leaves open the possibility of that in the future.
US officials organized a meeting between Israeli prime minister and the crown prince of Saudi Arabia as payback for assassinating a leading member of Al Qaeda, intelligence sources told Insider.
Two officials, one from Israel and another who has worked in Saudi Arabia on behalf of a European nation, described the backdrop to the secret meeting during the recent G20 summit.
It saw Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu meet crown prince Mohammed bin Salman — an extraordinary milestone for two nations with a decades-long history of hostility.
The meeting was secret, but became public after details were published by Israeli media outlets.

“The plan was for Bahrain, Sudan and UAE to normalize [with Israel], then produce the assassination of Masri as proof that Iran was working with Al Qaeda.
The Saudis would move to normalize as Trump got re-elected and there would be some sort of regional confrontation with Iran."
“But Trump lost, the Saudis took the meeting and then acted livid [that] it leaked and Bibi [Netanyahu’s nickname] had to fly home knowing the Saudis were done with Trump.”
The official said that the Saudis were left “unwilling to make any more moves until the new administration had arrived and [new US] officials could speak with Saudi’s diplomats.”
When asked if the plan was ever viable, the Israeli official laughed and said it “was never going to work.”
He blamed “Pompeo and Bibi and a chorus of idiots and charlatans working all sides of the issue,” and said the true aim was to sour relations with Iran so far that President-elect Joe Biden would have little scope to repair them.
What are the odds that Cheeto goes to Mar-A-Lago for Christmas break and doesn’t return to D.C.? At the very least, I don’t see him attending the Inauguration, which I believe would be a first for an outgoing president.
The White House is going to stink like Seinfeld’s smelly car. We’re going to have to burn the place and start over. Don’t go in, Joe! You’ll get stink on you!
Biden’s win coupled with the abject failure of a ‘Blue Wave’ to materialize is probably the best thing for the continuance of our Republic. Trump’s personality is unsuitable for a President; the incredible level of left wing anti-Trump hate gets vented before it can explode into civil war; any Dem pluralities in Congress are very narrow and constrained by a need to compromise to actually enact anything; and internal divisions within the amalgam of self-interested Identity groups that comprise the Democratic party will accelerate the process of the party’s disintegration.
Trump may be able to pardon himself, but that only effects federal crimes. The State of New York and NYC are building a case against Trump. There’s good news and bad news Donny Boy, the good news is your new home is an island getaway. The bad news is that it’s Riker’s Island.

For once, the two week delay didn’t matter much.

How can we miss you if you don’t go away?
Plus I’m thinking the Southern District of New York might want a few hundred thousand questions with you. Bring Rudy. He’s always good for a laugh.

An occasional annoyance instigating unofficial militia will still be better than a constant terrifying pain in the @** wielding US Marshals.

Thank God and Biden you’re gone
That load on my mind got lighter with election days dawn
The door not hitting your butt, is a beautiful sight
And no twitter feeds flowing from the White House tonight
It may sound kind-a cruel but I’ve been silent too long
Thank God and Biden you’re gone
