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

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.”

They’ve been after the Trump’s, ie his Grandfather, father and him before. He knows the game very well. I doubt that there is anything that will stick. It may damage him politically, but may have the opposite effect.

We need to keep the House and Senate this Fall. Simple as that.

Stupid advice BTW from the Spiro Gyros lawyer

This will only stop when President Trump starts appointing conservative special prosecutors who start digging into the Clinton crime syndicate.

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

Do they need any financial or any crimes? Collusion isn't a crime. They got Cohen to plead to 2 NON-crimes in exchange for him going out and saying Trump is a bad guy. "Read our statement & we will stop persecuting you." They want his tax returns.

They want to destroy Trump and will do so by intimidating & embarrassing any candidate who is endorsed by Trump, anyone who works or wants to work in his administration, anyone who wants to put out a yard sign, bumper sticker or wear any Trump gear.

Except the NY courts cannot indict Trump, only Mueller can...

They can make his life miserable & unless they go along with them, all of his friends or associates.

Yes. This should have been done long ago. The lawlessness has gone on so long, they have been emboldened & unafraid that anything will be done to them.

I doubt they get anything from the Trump’s CFO who has been around since the days when he worked for his father and no doubt a loyal man.

The Trump Organization is under continuous audit from the IRS for the last 20 years or so. The IRS probably have a branch office in Trump Tower. LoL.

Rush mentioned the $1 billion dollar tax deduction Trump once took that the DUmbs and Meeewler wants to know about. Well, the IRS have allowed the big deduction so it’s proper and legal.

Having been embroiled in dozens of lawsuits over the years, it is par for the course for the Trump family and organization.

Some advice -- resign and show that our nation has descended into banana republic politics where elections don't matter since the deep state will persecute the families of a duly elected president they don't like.

If our nation is going to go down that kind of path we might as well adopt the full banana republic mindset and just have Trump call out the military at the end of his term and announce that due to a state of emergency resulting from the legal actions against his family he is going to stay in office, and that former prosecutors involved with the emergency have been transferred to GITMO.

Both ideas are equally ridiculous.

Well, there could be specific targets and organizations, easily identified, but there has to be a coalescing of Americans and leadership to take back Washington and administer justice. That is a tall order, particularly since, I would assume that FBI covert agents are everywhere and the lawfare is so pervasive and paralyzing.

Didn’t know Spiro’s lawyer was alive...jeez, all this time I thought I didn’t care if he was or not...(Now since I know he is alive, I’ll go back to not caring if he was alive or dead).

Martin London doesn't seem to understand what the power of the business end of several million baby Harp seal clubs can be...

Trump's supporters had best be ready to push back on prosecutions for winning an election, or "a Federal judge will rule" that all Trump supporters be loaded into boxcars.

It's them or us.

The Swamp is threatening President Trump's grandchildren.

That's a capital offense where I come from.

In 2016, Trump stepped into the breach to preserve what was left of our American Heritage. Yet we did not, until 2018, really appreciate, how truly late was the hour--how truly great the personal peril to this wise, brave & good man; nor how great the potential benefit to all of us, were he to succeed; how great the disaster to our children & grandchildren, were he to fail.

Simply put, Donald Trump stands between our losing what still remains, in our potential future, of what the immortal Washington won at Yorktown.

Again, almost none of us realized how compromised we really were two years ago. This is a sobering moment as we consider the challenge immediately before us. We dare not fail to put our best foot forward.

Going after your political opponent’s family, just like Saddam Hussein did.

I was recently thinking that Mueller and Comey were America's version of Uday and Qusay. They go out into the countryside just to terrorize everyday people into submission, and they get their kicks from being able to do it at will.

It's time, apparently.
