How does this help trump? This would allow Double Jeopardy meaning he can be tried twice. It also means everyone else will be bankrupted by having to face trial twice. And cuts to public defenders will allow their private prisons that many more prisoners maximizing those profits.

No, you misread.

What it’s saying is that Fed counts towards State double jeopardy and vice-versa.

It’s a tailor-made case to make 45’s pardons all-encompassing. And if they didn’t encompass enough because you’re looking at contempt charges for refusing to testify after the 5A no longer applies, he’ll just pardon you again for that.
