(52,113 posts)unless that's the deal they work out with mueller, though if i were in his shoes i'd reject that deal. mere resignation is not nearly deterrent enough to others. the reward of being president for even "only" 16 months would remain an incentive for others to commit electoral crimes, never mind the other crimes donnie's no doubt committed.

(31,780 posts)They are playing games. He's not testifying. What is their nonsense 'we will decide by . . .'
Decision has been already made.
It's going to be a legal showdown.
45 is not honorable - Its and Maggots never are. You have to bring them to heel.
