Would you cut a deal with Trump to stay out of jail ...

[Under The Radar]

If he were to withdraw his Supreme Court nomination?

[SoonerPride]

1. Yes

Actually I would

[Under The Radar]

9. I would in a minute if he admits to the crime.

[CanonRay]

2. No. Never.

Fuck him.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. No, because he'd nominate someone else who's just as bad.

I'd cut a deal for him to resign, though.

[D_Master81]

4. Yes

While I want him gone and in jail, he’ll be dead in a decade. Barrett might be on the court for 30-40 years.

[imanamerican63]

5. Throw in his other to appointees too!

He resigns and gives up Putin’s involvements too!

[dflprincess]

6. No

But I'd start investigating Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Thomas (and their spouses). I'd let them resign quietly rather than face prosecution.

[stillcool]

7. No. he's a liar..

[moonscape]

8. Definitely. As long as

he could not nominate anyone else either.

I see him going to prison as beyond unlikely, and would be content with him and the whole cabal being bankrupted, lose their businesses, and end up having to get a real job.

[rufus dog]

10. No

It would have to be all judicial appointment for his entire term.

Statehood for DC and Puerto Rico, McConnell steps down, agreement to abolish EV.

They need to be severely punished. One SC justice is not even close to breaking even, thus without a penalty, they would just do it again.

They need to learn.

[Under The Radar]

13. He is going to lose the election ....

McConnell will lose power and possibly his seat, we can handle statehood and more justices on our own, but we can’t reverse the damage that will be done by Barrett in a few months possibly even maintaining Trump’s presidency.

[Control-Z]

12. Only if it includes withholding ANY nomination

until after Joe is sworn in. But yes, the Supreme Court is that important.

[Under The Radar]

15. Right, Barrett is going to rule on a SC challenge to the election

Get him admit to tax fraud and withdrawal his nomination, he will lose the election. There are plenty of Puranas out there that will bleed him dry in legal fees in just a couple of years leaving office.

[Chemisse]

14. No. He deserves to go to prison.

There are ways to deal with the Supreme Court catastrophe.

But nobody should get away with destroying the country the way he has, with all the individual crimes he committed along the way.

[The Magistrate]

16. I Would Cut The Deal, Sir

On condition he nominated Judge Garland, and then once the confirmation went through I would renege and jail him anyway.



"At times, Justice cannot be properly served without a measure of injustice to proceedings and punishment."

[Control-Z]

21. Who said that? eom

[The Magistrate]

24. That One, Ma'am, Is Original

Though I am sure others have at times expressed a similar sentiment.

I do mean it.

The 'golden rule' is something people cannot help obeying, in that how they treat others is a declaration of how they feel in their hearts they themselves ought to be treated. A person who practices injustice needs unjust treatment, craves it, and cannot be satisfied without it. It is a damned shame this particular individual has gone so long without his heart's desire fulfilled. That is the nearest thing to sympathy for him I am capable of feeling.

[Blue_true]

17. Yes. Totally withdraw the nomination and not make another one. nt

[progressive nobody]

18. Fuck NO!

[NNadir]

19. No. He needs to go to prison, as does Barr. We can restore the Court, but only if we support...

...the rule of law.

[MaryMagdaline]

20. Yes

Supreme Court is more important

[keithbvadu2]

22. Not yet! Too early. Too easy.

Not yet! Too early. Too easy.

[Brother Mythos]

23. No. Turd and his regime have done far too much damage to both the country and the world.

And, if allowed to cut such a deal, he will continue doing damage by openly stirring up the racists, misogynists, neo-confederates, neo-nazis, hypocritical evangelicals, rednecks, etc.

No, Turd and his entire crime family rightly deserve to lose everything they own, and their freedom.

[Buckeyeblue]

25. Yes. But more than that. He'd need to resign. Admit guilt. Name names.

Just think: the Republicans had a vote to remove him in January. They could have a fresh nominee running for president right now. But instead they get this. Ha!

[Elwood P Dowd]

26. If he would leave the country with Pence and Barr in tow, and let Nancy finish his term.

Plus, confess to all the lies he's told.

[Earthshine2]

27. For sure, Trump is going to try to make deals with the future Dem DOJ and the SDNY

to get out of the legal complications.

Hopefully, no deal.

This guy thought he could make a deal with Mueller.

[bullwinkle428]

28. Nobody named "Trump" or "Kushner" will ever spend a day behind bars, as utterly

disgusted as that makes me feel.

[gus1985]

29. I would not put my self in that position

Unless you are apolitical and live under a rock in the woods we know it's a big warning sign if someone's attorney goes to prison. We also see that Trump throws a lot of people around him in front of the bus as soon as it benefits him.

[Gothmog]

30. Yes

[Gothmog]

31. I do not approve of such a deal but such a deal may occur

I do not believe that trump really believe that he can truly contest the election results if the current polling results are accurate. If the current polls are accurate, Biden will win by a landslide and there will be no legitimate way to contest the election result. Floriuda will have accurate election results out on election night that will be good except for some miliary ballots. If trump loses Florida, then any election contest will be doomed to fail. However trump's threats could give him leverage to negotiate a plea deal with Governor Cuomo, AG James or DA Cyrus Vance where trump would agree to a peaceful transfer of power in exchange for no prison time for NY state tax charges.

I believe that trump will either pardon himself or will resign and have Pence pardon him for all federal crimes. trump may pardon his family members and some loyal idiots like Barr. The pardon will get rid of federal crimes and so trump needs to worry about state crimes and hsi biggest risk is NY state. I believe that trump will cur a deal with NY for a peaceful transfer of power in exchange for no prison time for turmp and perhaps members of his family

Carville agrees with my theory

This would be in effect a plea deal and not a pardon

32. Nope. We can fix the court

with additional Justices.
