Alan J. Steinberg—who served as an adviser to former President George W. Bush—wrote in an opinion piece published this week that he didn’t believe President Donald Trump would be removed from office through impeachment.
Steinberg, a former Environmental Protection Agency regional administrator, said that he believed Trump would resign in 2019 in exchange for immunity.
“Trump will not be removed from office by the constitutional impeachment and removal process,” Steinberg wrote in The Star-Ledger. “Instead, the self-professed supreme dealmaker will use his presidency as a bargaining chip with federal and state authorities in 2019, agreeing to leave office in exchange for the relevant authorities not pursuing criminal charges against him, his children or the Trump Organization.”
Steinberg noted in the piece that should the House of Representatives impeach Trump, 20 Republican senators would have to break with the president to remove him from office—and that seems very unlikely. Steinberg wrote that the many legal challenges facing Trump—the investigation from special counsel Robert Mueller, the probe from the Southern District of New York as well as inquiries from the attorney general of New York and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office—could lead him to leave the White House, especially as authorities close in on his family. …

All I needed to see was, "former Bush adviser." Proof positive that it's pure horseshit.

Oh I’m sure that’s not “fake news.”
So true...and he has lost MILLIONS of DOLLARS....maybe even a BILLION in wealth from being President!!
dONALD jR. HAS PAID MILLIONS I. ATTORNEY’S FEES!!!
tHE dEMOCRATS WILL NOT BE SATISFIED UNTIL EVERY tRUMP IS BANKRUPT AND in PRISON!! EVIL!
Fact is, I would not blame Trump for either resigning or not running again
Who needs the grief that is being heaped on him
The whole Mueller investigation is focused on destroying the lives of as many members of the Trump family and associates as possible to manufacture false leverage to paralyze President Trump and prevent him from prosecuting corrupt and treasonous government officials
The gangster government is trying to force a plumba or plata decision on the President of the United States.
President Trump needs to dump a bunch of Generals and find a few good Colonels to take care of business
The Republic ended on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when ALL of our elected and appointed clapped like trained seals as they swore in an ineligible usurper.
What is happening now is the struggle to restore it.
That was Mario Cuomo, who closed all the state psychiatric centers, and pushed them all out into the community. I was working as a Correctional Officer at the time, and the prison system ended up with a whole new bunch of nuts. When I started as a hack at Auburn prison in 1980, we used to have to hand out psychotropic drugs/anti-depressants while we were taking the count every afternoon. The union finally filed a grievance over it, because we weren't qualified medical personnel to do it...and it was finally stopped. Some officers had to use a cart to roll the drugs down the gallery to hand out. It was usually all in liquid form, that you had to give out via eyedroppers. It was a crazy time. After that, the inmates had to be put on daily medical call-outs to go to the facility infirmary, and have their medication dispensed by a nurse.
That Wishlist has Jeb!s fingerprints all over it.
...and then Mike Pence will resign too, just because. And all the Republicans will turn themselves in for re-education and to work in soup kitchens for poor transgender immigrants. President Pelosi will proclaim that magic unicorn energy will be made freely available to all, along with food, housing education, health care, art classes and political education. The Earth itself will respond with rainbows and musically tweeting birds, just like in Bambi.
Some of my extended family, too, as in distance, thankfully.
Moonbat sister and stepmother, the former of which was a public breast-out lactation activist for two children, which would satisfy many here who respond on those threads.
Wow, just looking briefly at your post, I thought you were going to tell us we’d won free money from Nigeria.
Just funnin’, though.
NOT Tommy James & the Shondells!
UGH..! I'll wager this guy is so slimy flies wouldn't land on him..
As if there’s anyone he could trust to guarantee the other side of the deal, were he so minded.
This would be true if Trump didn’t hold so many cards.
Most people keep their private fantasies to themselves. The “Never Trumpers” publish theirs in the MSM.
~~~
Isn’t it a lot more insidious than this though?
Given evidence that we have become privy too in the past, it’s obvious that the MSM develops long-term insider relationships with the Bureaucrats in Washington DC... and incase that sound innane, remember than many of these bureaucrats are in the FBI, DOJ, Pentagon, etc. They’re not just casually meeting by happenstance or very infrequently. They’re even getting gifts and perks too.
So when ever the MSM needs to publish a hit piece on ‘this’ topic or a hit piece on ‘that’ topic, they decide which contact in which agency offers them the most credibility, and then they coordinate with them on how they can publish their ‘expert opinions’.
Delusional bullsheit So ridiculous as to defy comment

Another day, another Trump resignation fantasy. Yawn.
