President Donald Trump is out of options, according to Richard Painter, the former chief ethics attorney for President George W. Bush.

“It’s quite clear his goose is cooked here,” he said Wednesday on MSNBC.

He said Trump has just one way out to protect himself and his family: a comprehensive plea deal to federal and state charges in exchange for his resignation.

“Donald Trump is in serious trouble. His lawyers ought to be telling him to negotiate a plea deal,” Painter said. “Get him out of the White House. Have him resign, plead guilty to lower charges and let’s move on as a country.”

Maybe he'll do it before the Democrats settle in on January 3rd......

The republican brand won't survive all the investigations that will dominate the 116th Congress....

Delusional. I think Trump is far more likely to fire Mueller and fight out a constitutional crisis than to back down.

Good network to make such a comment. It's clear that Painter hasn't cooked many geese.

The Huffington Post is certainly a member of the fake news that one must read and nod agreement with.

Personally I believe the time is ripe for the President to form a legitimate third party. In order to distinguish that party from the two very similar ones, it could be called the Nationalist Party!

That ship has sailed.

This is far beyond Mueller now.

The Democrats will have hearings broadcast on live TV, twitter, facebook, Amazon Prime and Netflix.

They will drag everyone who has talked to Mueller, and a bunch who haven't yet, to testify before congress.

They've got Cohen and Pecker, which is more than enough now, with plenty more to come.

Cohen WANTS to tell all, and there are probably A LOT more greasy dealings to hear about.

Donnie the pig is even having a hard time finding a COS.

And let's not forget about the rest of his family - is going to let them all go to jail?

it's the smart move.

45 is indeed a dip-shit - but he'll make the smart decision this time.

You are welcome to your opinion regarding MSNBC and HUFFPOST, but they certainly did not make-up Richard Painter or his statements.

Trump could just deputize his followers and take out the deep state. Declare war on them and kill them. Civil war is better then letting the Democrats continue their fake in investigation. Trump might need 3 terms.

Let them do that. It will just make the real Americans more pissed off.

The Democrats have to much blood on their hands. They need to be purged. We don't need a murderer party to exist anymore. Declare them enemy combatants Then use the military to kill them.

Let them do that.

Your party will not let that happen.

Part of the deal will be a preemptive pardon for Pence...

That way the republicans will avoid President Pelosi....

Happy Holidays!

Spoken like a true totalitarian.

Bet you would have loved being a German citizen under Hitler!

Good frickin' grief man - do you ever stop to think before you post?

Civil war is better then letting the Democrats continue their fake in investigation.

And the idiocy continues.

Looks like what Trumps said during his campaign was true - "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters,"

I think the Family Trump (Trump, Melania, Eric & Junior, Ivanka & Jared) will all seek asylum in the Russian Embassy... or maybe the Saudis will take them...

If traitors in the government try to take out Trump through lies. There should be a rebellion.

You only care about harmful drugs being mass distributed.

There's nothing "respectable" about that poster.

He certainly does seem to have some issues with his own sexuality.

Jameson is part of the faggot party. When you call out a faggot lover it doesn't mean you are a faggot. That is what the faggots like to say. I'm not saying you are Deckard. But you sound like a faggot with this specific post.

Jameson is part of the faggot party.

From what I have read, he's independent.

But you sound like a faggot with this specific post.

Does that frighten or arouse you sweet-cheeks?

That ship has sailed.

It's only sailed because Republicans, even Trump, do not seem to know how to fight. They seem to be afraid of fighting. Democrats are not.

One thing I observed in years of litigation was that the when you had a party whom you knew would always settle, whom you knew was afraid of going into court, of fighting toe to toe in front of a jury and possibly fail (but also possibly win) - when you faced opponents like that, you went after them hammer and tongs, you went for the jugular, you went for blood, and you could generally extract settlements out of them four, five, six, ten times what any jury was ever really likely to award.

When people are afraid to fight and you know it, and you're willing to fight and they know it, you always win. They always back down, back away, "turn the other cheek", submit. And you take them to the cleaners.

The Presidency has so much power, and the Congress and even the Courts have so little direct enforcement power, that it amazes me that Nixon resigned. He was a wimp. It amazes me that Trump has let what is happening to him go on and on and on. He has had the power to stop a great deal of the nonsense all along.

Sure, he'd have to go dark and vicious like the Clintons, like LBJ, like the Obamas. SO WHAT? Politics is a dirty business. And his enemies are coming out of the woodwork with everything they have. The failure to public crush a few like bugs meant they are not deterred. Now they are more brazen.

In business, there is a financial goal at the end of the parley and the games, but in politics, the ultimate goal is power itself, the power to command, to impose your will and compel money and labor to be spent on what YOU, the leader, commands, and NOT on what your opponents command.

Trump has been bluff and shot some zingers, but he has not fought very hard against the attackers at all. This has been a mistake. I hope Trump changes his path, or he will be neutered by his aggressive foes, and a one term President, to be succeeded by Democrat rule.

I don't really care for labels, I find them divisive and counter-productive.

I'm not now, nor have I ever been a member of the Democrat Party.

I was a member of the Republican party once, but I severed that relationship some years ago.

I prefer ideas to ideology and an open mind to the limitations of being part of a rigidly defined "group".

If this fits your definition of "independent" I'm good with that.
