Spiro Agnew lawyer: Trump should resign to keep Mueller from prosecuting his family
http://thehill.com ^ | August 2 2018 | BY ARIS FOLLEY

Posted on 08/24/2018 9:23:59 AM PDT by Para-Ord.45

Martin London, a lawyer who represented former Vice President Spiro Agnew, said that President Trump should resign from office to keep federal prosecutors from prosecuting his family.

“It’s only going to get worse,”

“We don’t know a quarter of what’s in the pocket of the prosecutor,” London said of Mueller.

“If he has any interest at all in not only saving his skin, but the skin of his child, his children, his son-in-law, his grandchildren, his daughter — this is a time when he’s got to seriously think about that,” London said, referring to Trump. “Now, is he capable of that, of serious thinking? Frankly, I doubt it.”

If DiGenova is the fit for AG, great. What we need is an AG who will forcefully take charge and redirect the Mueller-Weissman gang back to the narrow charter of this investigation, with a sunset date for funding.

This shit needs to be brought to an end NOW.

It is war. This is a full on assault by the Left and an attempt to nullify a presidential election. And...prevent his appointment of a Supreme Court judge.

Trump has been too passive in my opinion. Lots of tweets and talk, but not much real offense. You cannot gain territory by always playing defense. Act now or lose the war.

He’s going to get hammered by the Left and the media (and even some RINOs) no matter what he does so may as well fire back.

Threatening Trump and his family, unless he resigns. Yeah, that is classy....

This type of behavior is all you need to remember about democrats.

I never under-estimate Donald J Trump. He has been through more courts than you can shake a stick at, and has come out ahead. He has been through divorce courts, bankruptcy courts, numerous suits in his real-estate business, attacks on Trump university, etc. He has prevailed through all of that.

I agree. This time though there are a whole lot more people going after him. I'm sure he will survive, but along the way, they will put a lot of "stink" on him & a lot of doubt in some voters' minds.

If there is a "plan" going on behind the scenes, I hope it goes into motion soon.

Yep. There’s an old proverb that says “He who hesitates is lost”. Time to stop this nonsense. Its damaging the country and its gone on way too long.

Trump needs to act without further delay. Its a very dangerous proposition to have our adversaries around the world perceive the president as being under assault and politically weakened. He needs to do something decisive.

This all about two simple things.

1. Undoing the election. We the people are supposed to do as we’re told. That has included being silent and accepting the edicts of our betters on AGW, Global Trade, the LBGT agenda, Immigration and a myriad if other issues. As part of that we were supposed to vote as we were told and elect the first woman president to follow the first Black president therefore continuing their hold on the power and money of DC. We rebelled. We felt we had nothing to lose by saying no, and took a chance on an unknown entity who told us he would be our voice against the global Elite. This challenges their wealth and influence and can’t be allowed to stand. We will be taught a lesson.

2. This is also a not so subtle shot across the bow of any political outsider who might consider following Trump’s example by running for public office. If you are not a member of the club, and have not been vetted and approved for office by the uniparty, and happens to win, we will destroy you, your family, your friends, your associates and anything you’ve ever built. Don’t think for a minute that this message is not being heard loud and clear in boardrooms and corporate office around the country.

The elite will not give up power willing. They hate us and see us only as serfs in their economic machine and cannon fodder in their endless wars. If our side does not come to understand this and fight back soon then they will win again and they will make sure there is not a repeat of this last election cycle. They learn from their mistakes and will not be ambushed again. If they regain power we will be crushed and subjugated. You already are seeing the beginnings of this with the actions of Twitter, FB and Google vs anyone considered conservative. It is a scary time in America.

Nobody wants to admit it but there is no plan. That’s the problem. If there was a plan, it would have been activated well before things to to this point.

Don Jr. before the Senate Judiciary Committee, said: “I did not collude with any foreign government and do not know of anyone who did.”

He said ‘foreign government’, he did not mention the Russian female that wormed her way into his office for an impromptu meeting about nothing. She was put up to it by Brennan and that will come out.

So he’s clear and that will be shown.

The NY State prosecutor lawsuit against the Trump Foundation is a joke. Those who have read through the lawsuit can see it’s a nuisance lawsuit that takes things and exaggerates them out of context, For example, the petition asserts his foundation purchased a $10,000 portrait of Donald Trump and hung it in one of his golf clubs. The response provides evidence the portrait originally hung in the foundation and was traded out for one showing a portrait of the new foundation director. The rest of the petition is the same, just baseless charges drawn out of context. That lawsuit is going nowhere.

As for DOJ’s Southern District of NY getting into Trump finances, that will be very difficult for them because NYC as the capital of the financial world has strict laws barring financial fishing expeditions even by federal investigators especially politicized ones. If anything, the records will need to be very specifically described and will be under court seal for in camera review only. They will only be able to review records held by the court containing mentions of known Russian agents or their fronts, and then and only after the court retrieves such records will they be allowed to view them and not take them.

The Trump Organization is very strong. I have no concern at all.

The enemies of Trump are giddy now because they hit Manafort and Cohen. That won’t last. Manafort will eventually be pardoned after Mueller is sent packing.

Michael Cohen only turned because they threatened his wife and even then he is not compelled by agreement to cooperate any further. When that backstory comes out, there will be heavy consequences levied on those that participated in the extortion. This will likely be years down the road after Mueller and Cuomo are gone. Payback is a bitch and it won’t be Arkanside, it will be a result of legal findings of U1 and Cuomo’s corruption.

If I was Mueller, I would be sweating bullets. Because POTUS is going to declassify and the whole history of FISA abuse and Uranium One is going to come crashing down on him and all his aides and abettors. Mueller knows that POTUS knows. And Mueller knows if he hits Don Jr. his life might as well be over. In the meantime, POTUS will declassify and shut down the Mueller probe as well as send Rosenstein packing based on the FISA abuse.

The President mentioned many pertinent things yesterday in his Fox interview with Ainsley Earhardt, a few which were very important confirmations for us ‘conspiracy whackos’:

1. Michael Cohen was one of many lawyers and not a ‘fixer’ and only handled small deals. And he pled to things that were not crimes. Cohen had outside businesses where he got in trouble (taxis). Funds for payoff did not come from campaign funds. Why did Cohen plead to noncrimes? Because like everyone, mentioning the Trump name gets a better deal. Saw this many times, make up stories about Donald Trump to get a lesser sentence. Cohen has no evidence.
2. DOJ infested with entrenched Dems.
3. Podesta was supposed to have been indicted November 2017 but DOJ didn’t follow through (time 9:34), Mueller who is a DOJ special prosecutor took over the Podesta probe and slow-walked it to a standstill.
4. Mentions “Subversion” (time 10:19)
5. POTUS says he will ‘have to do the documents’ meaning declassify.

PDJT and his supporters are twisting in the wind. That IS the plan at this moment in time. I see no changes to rectify the situation in the near future. Reality!

Scott Walker dealt with this very putrid filth in Wisconsin. Many of his friends, allies and family were attacked by corrupt prosecutors. Links below:

Excellent post. It does feel like a fascist state we’re living in, and one that will destroy any that oppose it.

Rush was discussing this idea on his show today. The thesis is that the coup plotters would make a deal whereby Trump would resign in exchange for them not destroying his family and anyone else close to him. Rush thought he would fight on. If this idea becomes apparent, I would hope Trump would not only fire all the plotters he could, but also issue a general call for his supporters to come to Washington and clean house.
