MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said Wednesday on “The ReidOut” that former President Donald Trump could make a plea deal vowing not to run for president again to avoid jail time.
Anchor Joy Reid said, “What are the chances that Donald Trump, and I had not thought about until you said it, that instead of going through with this trial he takes a plea with the vowed to not run for president again like Spiro Agnew did in the 70s.”
Maddow said, “I don’t know what the odds are.”
She continued, “I can’t imagine him pleading guilty to anything. Who among us wants to spend too much time floating around inside his mind even proverbially? So who knows what’s gonna happen. But if this is as strong a case as the indictment makes it look and that’s the prosecutions best-case, it will get challenged in court. It will be an adversarial process. We will see how strong the defenses. But if the indictment is that strong and the Justice Department is going to treat this as a like case compared to other people who have been charged under the Espionage Act then he is looking at jail time. What would on Trump do to avoid jail time? I guess, I literally suppose, that he would do anything. And if it’s going to come to him avoiding jail time, now that this indictment exists he’s either going to have to win in court defending yourself against the charges by saying, ‘Yes I did it,’ is not a good defense. So how else can you avoid jail time? You can plea in exchange for leniency.”

Yes, Rachel, and cows could jump over the moon also.
The Rats have revealed their game plan.
This is straight-up blackmail. If you are guilty of a crime, you can’t buy your way out.
“We just have to demonstrate that he will not take power if he does run, making sure he — under legitimate efforts of our Constitution — does not become the next president again”
– Joe Biden, 11/9/22
Spitballing.
They all could lose their jobs under the Hatch Act.
Maddow always says the quiet part out loud.
They said something similar during the Ukraine impeachment if memory serves.
Let’s face it. DC with all its money and uniparty splendor and the bureaucracies completely reject Trump. They hate his worldview and that he is not one of them so they refused to comply and feel justified to use every tool at their disposal.
“President Donald Trump could make a plea deal vowing not to run for president again to avoid jail time.”
Funny, Geraldo said the same thing just a few days ago.
I hope somebody is collecting these video clips. I expect we will have many more. It should make quite the montage.
Trump should say ok will do than afterwards say hey I never pinky promised
It’s extortion which I thought was a crime but the commie left always reveals the truth this is all about the fact that trump won in 2020 and the deep state wants to be sure he doesn’t win again
That’s a rather stale bit of news.
Yes Rachel, THAT is the plan.
Trump is a danger to the applecart.
Make it really bad. Sign a please deal promising to watch MSNBC exclusively.
How about if Trump wins the White House, Rachel doesn’t do anymore shows.
It used to be every several years outrageous things were said and done. Then it was every other year. Then it was about twice a year. Then...it became almost monthly, then every few days, then daily and NOW it is several times a day. Waiting for Dems to say/do outrageous, Godless things by the hour now.
They don’t know him. They don’t understand Americans
