  All, or just specific years?
  Anyway, a future AG can just say "agreement is over". No justice has blessed it, it's no more than a promise by this administration.

    It’s all future years for the entire Trump family, by my understanding.

    Another thing related to the Trump administration/family that only really makes sense if they don't expect to lose power in the future.
    Almost like the creeping fascism is a real concern.

  President not just pardoning their own crimes, but their future crimes too. That's quite the move.

What constrained the sum to less than $2 billion? It looks like he sued originally for $10 b. Considering he relatively controls both sides, what stops him from choosing an arbitrary amount?

  The arbitrary amount is $1.776 billion. Like everything that Trump does, there's an extra level of gaudiness on top.
