...if it looks like he is going to get voted out in the Senate The Nixon exit strategy.

If he asks for a plea agreement to get away clean. I would demand he releases all of his tax returns. So we can see why he made the decisions he did.

I knew the dumbass narcissist would never resign for any normal reasons, and had been trying to figure out what "out" he might try to come up with, and couldn't. Until this morning. Then I thought, "Aha! He's setting up a somewhat honorable way to leave that will also let him look like a martyr!"

He'll resign for health reasons, saying the fake impeachment has so affected his health that for the sake of his family, whom he loves so dearly, he's resigning so that he can work on healing and be around for his family, whom he loves so much, for as long as possible, and so it's the dems fault for harassing him so much his health went south that he had to resign.

And his fans will eat it up, and they'll never even question how their messiah - the superhuman - could be so weak that an impeachment process would weaken his health so bad he had to resign for it.

church. Their beliefs are the promotion off Catholic values over the constitution. They believe liberalism has led to the moral decay of society. They don’t believe in the separation of church and state. Church doctrine should replace traditional public education. Abortion, gay marriage, and LGBT is immoral and should be banned. But most of all, they believe the ends justify the means. So when I see Barr covers and lying for Trump like he did in the Mueller report, it’s motivated by the belief that he will tolerate all that is evil about Trump so long as Trump advances and/or doesn’t stand in the way of the far right agenda. So Barr will lie about the Mueller report because I’m his mind the greater good is advancing the catholic values by appointing rw fanatical judges, scaling back on the rights of LGBT rights, and not imposing restrictions to abortion. They are trying to redefine America’s position to human rights to advance theological beliefs over the Constitutional guarantees. He wants to tear down the barrier between church and state by funding private catholic schools. This man is evil. A fanatic in the most basic sense who must be stopped.
