Spiro Agnew lawyer: Trump should resign to keep Mueller from prosecuting his family

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.”

We had an exit plan when it looked like Hillary might win.

That plan is looking better every day.

I either want CW2 or the exit. I don't want to finish my life in their version of USA.

Jr. testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. It was a simple perjury trap.

Imagine charging Jr. with perjury before congress, I think that would be too obvious of selective prosecution. But then in this environment, who know. There do not seem to be any limits to what the doj/fbi will do. And you just know romney will come and say his faith in justice has been restored. The crap is getting real.

Mueller can try to intimidate everyone in Trump’s world, but his plug is about to get pulled. I give Mueller about 30 days left likely after Kavanaugh gets confirmed.

Really reminds me of the USSR stories I heard from Russians while staying there on an extended adoption.

Or. Isis hostage videos. Same thing.

Trump needs to go to war with the Deep State for all of us, or we will have to by violence. The continuation of this corruption cannot stand.

Spiro lawyer should do the honorable thing (in his bath tub to make clean-up easy).

This SOB is saying all presidents should resign because of fake charges leading to opening all books to uncover any possible innuendo of potential negative publicity?

FUSAL!

It is said that if you’re going to move against the king, you’d better kill him. In a similar vein, Trump had better move decisively against Mueller, Sessions and Rosenstein. This may be his last best chance to do it.

My humble suggestion is that Trump should do four things: (1) release the FISA docs, (2) fire those three for abuse of power and violation of the trust placed in them by the American people, (3) announce his selection of a new attorney general, and (4) lay out his case for restructuring the DOJ and FBI to improve accountability before the American people.

And do it all in a prime time address to the nation. The people want this done and will rally to support him.

Yes, we are turning into a Banana Republic. They are prosecuting/persecuting people for political differences. The left is banning speech/writings that they don't agree with, beating up people who don't think they way they do.....

It is out of control. And because there has been no accountability for their actions, the left is getting bolder & more aggressive.

He's got the weapons to do it.

He's not one to go gently into that good night.

Good roadmap. Speech to the nation is indispensable.

Too late.

“Trump resigns they then go after Pence”

Not until they take the House and elect Obama Speaker.

We are witnessing things that we would never have thought possible in this Country.

Actually this is exactly what they did to Nixon. He absolutely kicked the dim's asses in the election to the point of embarrassment. Their only recourse was to destroy him using disinformation to form public opinion.

Some Hawaii nitwit even spouted the "unindicted co-conspirator" meme two days ago.

I thought about this same strategy last evening...he needs a Churchillesque public announcement and take measures as soon as he can...it is war.

Rush’s analysis was incisive and very sobering. This this is just getting started.

DJT poked the corrupt global infrastructure which has been operating for centuries. I suspect he has exposed them more than any other in recent history.

For that, they would never allow him to “resign” and disappear into the sunset (not that he would choose that).

No, no, my FRiends. For them, this is a “to the death” fight they have no intention of losing. Their intent is to crush him, his business, his family, AND HIS SUPPORTERS, as an example of what others contemplating taking them on can expect.
