it's that he needs to feel like HE was in charge, that HE made the right decision, etc. True to his narcissistic self.

I could see him declaring victory, claiming he's drained the swamp, putting Pence in charge, and starting up his media outlet to pander to his ignorant base.

It's pretty to think so.

But he's too out of touch with reality. Too arrogant.

Never have I hoped so much to be wrong...

because I know how fragile men like that are. All he needs is one last person he can't fire and doesn't have a way to sue tells him no or rules against some piece of bullshit he's come up with and he'll blow an incredible fit, probably fire every staff member who isn't related to him, and if he survives it physically, he'll probably Tweet his resignation, pack a bag, call for his own jet (which he prefers) and GO.

They tell him they focus on small potatoes for the family, Pence will pardon "it", IF he resigns? Just a scenario that has some modest logic.

If it's set up, and bulletproof, Mueller would focus attention on anyone else not protected. He's not obligated to pursue a dead end.

And he will end up in a country that has no extradition agreement with the USA.

damaging comes out - I can definitely see him doing that. He will quit and just say "there's just too much bullshit - I don't need this ! "
