Alan J. Steinbergwho served as an adviser to former President George W. Bushwrote in an opinion piece published this week that he didnt 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 officeand that seems very unlikely. Steinberg wrote that the many legal challenges facing Trumpthe 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 Attorneys Officecould lead him to leave the White House, especially as authorities close in on his family.

Date is incorrect.
President Trump will step down on January 20, 2025.
Oh yes! And then Frumpy Fillery will magically be crowned Queen and unicorns will fly out of Obuttho’s you know what.
Tim, place the bong on the table and back away.
And then Pence will just so Nancy Pelosi can be President.
No he wont
And he had better start tossing some deep staters in jail.
This article tells me everything I need to know — about why I never want another Bush in the White House, ever.
I absolutely cannot fathom why Trump does not fire the whole bunch of them, what has he got to lose?
Won’t happen. The Mueller investigation shows that they won’t honor any “deals” and will go after family.
One target was pressured into a plea deal with the threat they’d seize his family’s home.
They’ve already seized the IT assets and papers of peoples’ lawyers, a violation of client-attorney privilege.
They won’t respect any agreement that says “I’ll resign, you agree to leave my kids alone”.
The civil unrest this would cause would make the Civil Rights movement
in the 60s look like a warm up act.
Plus, this writer would be one of the first to go.
The prosecutions will come from a state, most likely, NY. Attorneys from the liberal states are working hard to find anything to prosecute.
Right after flying pigs and little green men landing.
Interesting, thanks.
huh?
what is that about a deal for Bubba?
meh
Wishful thinking
Perfect timing, right after all the articles claiming that “russia collusion” was fake after all...
