“But what if the prosecutor were to offer the president an alternative. What if he were to say he would let the children walk if the old man does the same? That would mean giving up the presidency in exchange for acquittals all around ― not just for himself, but for all his kids.”
an interesting theory by chris matthews last night:
There are some on the left who consider trump's presidency to be illegitimate and they make a good case based on the russian influence and the impact of the states that flipped to trump plus his various pre-election coverups. As matthews says, trump should leverage the office while he still has it.
chris matthews predicts trump could resign ‘in the coming weeks’
Not going to happen.
Even if he did somehow walk, his organization and many around him (probably himself as well) are going to be facing several other investigations by other law enforcement bodies not named Mueller.

You beat me to it. Trump won't resign. He knows if he does, he's toast. He'll ride out the protection of the office of POTUS for the time being.

Agreed
In addition, trumps ego will not let him resign and I do not think he would give himself up to save his spawn

More immediately, that would require admitting - even to himself - that he was wrong/in the wrong/vulnerable/etc., and I really cannot see him doing that.
Counterpoint: Trump's Bluster has always disappeared when under oath (and legally liable) before, despite his many, many lawsuits. It's quite possible he retains a core of self-awareness, if only for self-preservation's sake.
Trump isn't charged with anything. Neither are his kids. Trump doesn't have any reason to resign.
Matthews is dreaming.

Agree he also may have the SC to back him up on arresting a sitting president. It makes him dangerous though I think. What stops would he pull out to win again in 2020 if it meant he gets that protection?

Matthews said Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump could be the “next dominoes to fall” in the investigation and could face prosecution and possible prison time.
Then, he speculated: [about resigning for immunity]
Maybe he would try to save his darling Ivanka, because her breasts wouldn't look quite as good in an orange jumpsuit. And that would upset him. But for sure he won't try to save Junior and the dumb brother.
Unlike Nixon he won't go quietly and fade into hsitory as the crook he is. He'll probably stay active in acting all things reasonable and decent about the U.S. from the sidelines, where he is more comfortable...you know, flinging poo.Trump will indeed resign sometime next year and will cite phony "health reasons" as the cause of it . The entire time he will deny he did anything wrong and will go to his grave decrying the witch hunt that conspired against him.
Just like Nixon in Watergate, it will be the secret top Senate GOP defections that signal to him its time to get out of Dodge on our own before the townsfolk tar and feather you and ride you out on a rail.

Isn't Mr. Tingles forgetting about the pardon power of the POTUS?
