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.”

We knew this is what they wanted.
Allllll this bs started immediately after he announced.
None of this bs happened before.
Nailed it! That is precisely what this multitude of lawfare cases is about, DJT not running. But he IS running and the crooks, thieves, molestors, abusers, and corruptors are in full panic mode.
So you dems and rinos put in a senile incestuous pervert for POTUS, and now you seek to change the country to a fascist state? All of our actions have consequences. Are you ready for what comes next?
Lol. Is this dude serious? Hell walk on these garbage charges and win in 2024…cmon man.
That’s the only reason Trump was arrested. The only reason.
And that, the title, is exactly what they are after.
No, he could not. That is not just delusional, it is wildly delusional.
They thought he (Trump) was the river when he was really the dam.- Michael Malice
They can persecute Trump. They can imprison Trump. They can kill Trump. It doesn't matter.
If the last 2000 years of Western Civilization is any indication, killing, prosecuting and imprisoning political opponents has the opposite of the intended effect.
She is STUPID. If he did this, the Democrats would be ADMITTING this was a political indictment!
“It’s extortion which I thought was a crime...”
Silly citizen, it’s not a crime when the government does it.
She’s delusional to think that Trump would agree to something like this, but even if he was willing, it wouldn’t work, because they are coming after him in so many jurisdictions, both federal and state. A deal made with Jack Smith would not bind Bragg or the prosecutor in Atlanta.
