Conway: Trump 'thinks he needs to be reelected to avoid indictment'

George Conway said Friday that President Trump "thinks he needs to be reelected to avoid being indicted," taking another public shot on Twitter at the president.

Conway, who is married to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, came under attack from Trump this week after Conway questioned the president's mental fitness — a jab Conway made again on Friday.

The two have engaged in a bitter fight over Twitter and in presidential interviews with reporters all week.

The president is currently under investigation on an array of fronts, though it is far from clear he'll be indicted for anything.

1. I suspect that's why he ran in the first place

Trump is a hot mess of criminal nogoodery. Always has been.

6. I think a lot of his white collar crimes

would have continued to fly under the radar, so a $25,000 payment to Pam Biondi or a payoff to another attorney would not have raised many eyebrows.

2. Almost positive a source close to the administration, is

where he is getting his info.

4. Reelection won't stop his kids

from being indicted. Meanwhile, there is no guarantee that he won't get indicted. Not indicting a sitting president is not written in stone.

7. agreed that not indicting a president is not set in stone

especially since the Constitution specifies that members of Congress cannot be indicted for what happens in the House/Senate, but is silent on the president.

However, I'm guessing he'll pardon his kids if they get indicted.

5. I would pay money to see them in a physical confrontation. N/T

8. Here goes Maggie Haberman Again

There is no "Could", Maggie. Donald Trump would have already been indicted, arrested and arraigned for the same campaign finance charge as Cohen - at minimum - if he was anyone other than the POTUS. There is no "could". He WOULD BE indicted right freaking now if he was even a Senator.

We HAVE TO force the GOP to confront this. Trump CAN NOT be allowed to run again. The mere fact that this situation has arisen is destroying our country. We have over 18 months until the election. He and/or his children will be facing criminal indictments by then. 100% chance. He has to be removed, BY THE GOP - now.
