I'm not sure he will. I imagine that if he doesn't finish out his term it will be because he pardons himself and his family and resigns. It's not looking good for Kushner if the reports out today are accurate.
I'm only seeing resignation if he convinces himself he's saving face in some way. Which really means if he could go to prison. He doesn't want this job though. He'll throw Kushner under the bus, but he's running out of people to buffer him from Mueller.
I am pretty sure even Donald trump will be able to shield himself from jail time despite his stupidity. I figure even he knows when to cut and run for the hills, or at least will figure it out before it is too late to be given a chance to. Republicans are always going to be better off if he resigns over being convicted and disgracing the entire party worse than he will have at that point. Their followers will pretty much forgive any transgression aside from working with Barack Obama and the dems.
I don't think he can pardon himself. " and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment." The word grant typically means you're giving something to someone else. It's a mercy thing basically. I'm taking mercy on you by commuting your sentence of giving you a pardon. Than you have the principle that you can't be the prosecutor, judge, and jury on your own case. A self pardon would be that. A pardon also would be an admission that he committed a crime. So if he didn't immediately resign he'd for sure be impeached. Last I think if Trump (or any POTUS) did pardon himself than SCOTUS would jump in and void it on the basis of the first two things I wrote. And no one would complain except of course POTUS.
If Trump is indicted, we may see violence in the streets. If Trump is impeached, we WILL see violence in the streets.
The week between Christmas and New Year's is the quietest of the news cycle. If I were Mueller, and I wanted to make a big splash with something, that's when I'd do it. The media would have little else to cover, so they'd be all over it.
It's starting to look a little more like obstruction of justice now that Trump has admitted to knowing Flynn had lied to the FBI when he asked Comey to drop the investigation.
Good. Hope Antifa's all locked and loaded. Hope the Black Panthers get in on the fun too. Hope the Jews bring back Hagana.
Tax reform passed.. Individual mandate gone... Obamacare gone.. Supreme Court locked up... 40+ Federal judges, 100 more coming shortly... Economy ripping along.. Consumer confidence through the roof... Dow smashing records... World respects American power once more instead of the pussification the token prez advocated... Multitude of exec orders included wiping out climate sham orders... Protector of religious freedom ....PRIDE is restored.. You guys better take him out quick as he's going at a break neck pace! Boom! #MAGA
He won't be indicted in December. But we will all get a copy of the piss tape in our stockings on Christmas morning.
Haha...fantasyland? That's where you unemployed morons live. Everything posted above is absolutely true. Get over it douchebags.
It's not working, Jesus is still puking. You and all your pseudo-Christian friends and relatives suck. Apparently.
BTW, what ever happened to the "War on Christmas"? Are those wailing the loudest in previous years currently worshiping a new Messiah?
Oh, as soon as they got the thumbs up to pick on trans people, and deny cakes to gays, suddenly, Rudolph's nose lit back up again, and the sleigh-bells started a-jinglin'. It's a Christmas miracle! Hale-fucking-lujah!
