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.”

Trump warned Mueller over a year ago about the redline.

Since this is all coming to a head, and Mueller feels his days are numbered and the elections are around the corner, he’s going for broke.

Exactly. Trump resigns they then go after Pence. This must not stand. We need sessions fired Degevona hired and mueller targeted in a simultaneous investigation.

I actually have no doubt everything at Trump Foundation is on the up-and-up. But to dig into Trump’s finances while keeping Clinton Foundation sacrosanct is a coup d’état. Until now its been a “soft coup”. Its becoming a hard coup. Trump had better start treating this with some seriousness.

He has very little to lose in counter-attacking.

I suspect the Trump Organization prepared for this eventuality long ago and run a very tight ship. Mueller is going to strike out and get bounced. Trump has plenty of Aces up his sleeves against the Rogue DOJ. He’s going to declassify all the documents over there, and I’d send teams to get the documents if they drag their feet or refuse.

What is going on is FAR worse than a civil war. This is an attack on Western Civilization as a whole, and there is no good way to defend against it, as there is no “state” to attack. All our guns are worthless without a purpose and direction that can be defended.

We can yell all about the 2nd Amendment, and we can have all the firepower in the world, but there is no scenario where we can actually use it, UNTIL the country is gone. This is what makes the investigation so blatantly obvious, that this country, and our civilization is under attack.

So who do we attack? How can we organize? What LE is on our side in this two-tier prosecution system where Democrats and RINO’s like Sessions will NEVER be prosecuted, and Constitutionalists will ALWAYS be prosecuted? Answer me!

You CAN’T! NOBODY can! This is where we are at. There is no way out UNLESS the country is destroyed first, and then we have the entire rest of the world to take on. This will NOT end well. If you have kids and grandkids, prepping is Job One for their lives.

This is what happens when a true outsider upsets their apple cart. I remember Shumers words to Trump...paraphrasing...
“They have 6 ways of Sunday of coming at you”.

This is about destroying a man, his family and 7ltimately his followers. I am very sad for a once great country.

Trump has been audited every year, how many financial crimes can there be?

The whole establishment on both “sides” is about to be administered a phenomenal lesson on how a MAN fights back

What Mueller and the deep state are doing is,

1. Constricting the legal knot around POTUS Trump.

2. Keeping the neo-marxist aka democrat base agitated, incensed, and motivated to vote.

3. Wear down the public with constant indictments,grand juries, general negative stories about POTUS Trump to the point the public decides Trump must move on and either leave office or be voted out.

4. Win the mid-terms and begin Impeachment.


Well stated, and is in essence what the Manafort judge was referencing but not to this excellent detail.

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

Good point. And Bruce Ohr is testifying next week. Mueller is probably factoring that into his thinking as well.

Agree.

Also if they do find something to “make up” to pursue then I wonder if there is a statue of limitations that overrides it.

This is still a question to me regarding how Manafort could be prosecuted for something that as I understand it had cleared the statutory time frame

Can Trump fire Rosenstein? We need someone who won’t obstruct the turnover of documents to investigate the FBI and DOJ.
