Remember many of Nixon's henchmen went to prison. He didn't.

(115,869 posts)But the reason Nixon didn't go to prison is that the legal thinking (though not finally decided by the Supreme Court) is that a sitting president can't be prosecuted for a crime - he has to be impeached or resign first. After Nixon did resign, Ford pardoned him so he couldn't be prosecuted. So even if Kushner or Flynn were to roll on Trump he wouldn't be prosecuted as long as he's president (although, like Nixon, he could be named an unindicted co-conspirator). So let's say Trump is then either impeached or resigns; Pence will probably pardon him.
But I do think Trump would throw anybody and everybody under the bus if it was necessary to save his own hide.

(16,794 posts)he would malign even Melania for not being with him in the White House. Before he goes down in a Twitter rage like none we have ever seen, the Donald will throw everyone under the bus. Even his sweet, Ivanka.

(11,686 posts)I also think he would give up his children also. I am talking about Ivanka also. He might think of her as his hot piece of ass but trump is faithful to NO ONE but himself.
