Would Don the Con Sr. resign from office in order to save his son and son in law from prison?

[nkpolitics1212]

[Kber]

1. No

[Chasstev365]

2. HELL NO!

He would let his children rot in prison to save himself!

[mainstreetonce]

3. I was just thinking about asking this.

I'm glad you did.

I think he only resigns if the evidence that convicts them incriminates him.

Meanwhile ,how much will it take fir him to relieve Jared of any official duties?

4. Junior takes the fall.

Trump pardons him.

[EL34x4]

6. Yep. Pretty much. (n/t)

[tanyev]

5. No. My only question is whether or not he would ever throw Ivanka under the bus.

[marylandblue]

7. He'd throw her under too.

[MousePlayingDaffodil]

8. Bit of a non sequitur, it seems to me . . .

In that, how would Trump's resigning the presidency possibly operate to affect whether Trump, Jr. and Kushner would be prosecuted for their own crimes?

If Trump seeks to "save" Trump, Jr. and Kushner from prison, the most straightforward option, it would seem, would be for him to pardon them. Trump's pardon power, of course, only extends to federal charges.

9. How would that work?

[Cosmocat]

10. why do people persist in this inane mindset

that 45 will step down.

The jackass literally filed his papers to run in 2020 the day after he took office.

There is NOTHING in his behavior to indicate he would walk away from POTUS, and this rationale is absurd given that as POTUS he can, you know, pardon his family if by some miracle they actually are successfully prosecuted ...

[Thrill]

11. Why should him resigning change anything? The treason

Has already been committed

[CentralMass]

12. No.

[Initech]

13. Hell no!!!

He'd sell out his own family if it meant he didn't have to go to jail.

[randr]

14. When he can't declare bankrupsy

the lsos goes lame or just quits.
He will end up blaming some ailment and leave after declaring victory for saving the Republic.

[Atman]

15. No way.

He would never do anything to save anyone but himself. His kids are just tools in his empire, and they're expendable just like everyone else he does business with.

[mopinko]

16. dumb queston. why would he give up pardon power?

[SweetieD]

17. Not a chance in hell. Nt

[CanonRay]

18. Why would he, when he can just pardon them?
