Will Trump settle for an "An unindicted co-conspirator" and call it a win.

[CK_John]

I think so.

1. Nixon was an unindicted co-conspirator and was forced to resign...

....that's what I would call a win!

[tableturner]

3. That would not be a win. Unindicted co-conspirators can become INDICTED co-conspirators.

Nixon was an unindicted co-conspirator and got impeached. He very likely would have been charged if Ford had not pardoned him.

Plus, the charges for Trump and his "posse" will be so numerous and serious that they will either flee to Russia or face decades in prison.

4. The congress house investigating voted 3 counts to impeach, if Nixon did not

quit but the Congress never did impeach and Nixon would not quit without a pardon.

7. Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment.

5. I think they will indict Trump

There is too much evidence pointing at him.

6. Can you indict a sitting POTUS, this a legal situtition that would take yrs to get a answer.

[Shrike47]

8. I think they can indict. He's arrested on the indictment, then moves to dismiss asserting immunity.

If he's facing indictment, everybody will look for another resolution.

9. Well the legal issue at the watergate hearing was a POTUS could not be indicted.

The term unindicted co-conspirator was familiarized in 1974 when then president Richard Nixon was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in indictments stemming from the Watergate Investigation. Nixon was not indicted due to concerns about whether the United States Constitution allowed the indictment of a sitting President (see Executive privilege).

12. That was DOJ's conclusion at the time

But they knew Nixon would be impeached anyway, so it didn't really matter. In this case we have no such assurance. There is no court precedent to guide us, so the question for Mueller and the courts will be more fundamental, "Is the president above the law?" It's hard to imagine anyone answering yes to that, except Trump himself.

[marylandblue]

10. I think it wouldn't take that long to decide

It will immediately become the most important case in the country, we will talk about nothing else, and the pressure on Trump will be enormous. Both sides will agree the question demands a speedy resolution one way or the other.

[CK_John]

11. Dream on, Trump laugh at the GOP congress and dare them to try.

[marylandblue]

13. Congress has already shown they will defend Mueller

If they wanted to be ruled by Mad King Donald, they would n't be in pro forma session right now.

14. I agree

He has no conscience and has always gotten away with his crimes. This will just be another instance where his hand gets slapped and he will still be president. A civil war will break out in those red states if he gets indicted and impeached. His ego is too big to resign. He will destroy and bankrupt the US like he has with his companies and Russia will be smiling they finally got their revenge.
