Chris Matthews Thinks Trump Will Resign To ‘Save’ His Kids

We recently talked about how Joy Reid was basically salivating over the thought of Ivanka Trump getting arrested.

“Do you remember in ‘The Firm,’ how Tom Cruise brings down the entire mob on overbilling? In these reports, what we have is Ivanka Trump, as part of the Trump organization, overbilling the inaugural committee,” Reid’s guest Elie Mystal said. “That could be it right there. What we now have — this is the first time — look, we’ve talked a lot about Don Jr., we know now he was at the Trump Tower meeting, we talked a lot about Eric, because he seems to be Fredo.”

“This is the first time that we have Ivanka—which is like the only kid he likes—in the crosshairs,” Mystal continued. “She apparently, according to these reports, was involved with overcharging the inaugural committee, and somebody had to tell her: this is going to look bad when we get audited. For a long time I thought that the only way we are really going to get to Trump is if you go after his kids. If you put the kids in legal peril, that’s the only thing that’s going to shock him out of his lying, deceitful, cocoon. And this could be the way to do it.”

“There is this finding that people — we’re going to talk about this later in the show — that you can’t indict a sitting President. But it doesn’t say anything about a sitting President’s daughter,” Reid added.

That’s the left’s new outlook. There’s only one way to get to Trump, and that’s by going after his children. That’s the new narrative MSNBC wants to push.

Chris Matthews has been busying himself, pushing that pipe dream. On Monday night’s “Hardball,” he said:

“The president’s children stand right in the line of Mueller’s investigative progress — they stand as the next dominos to fall. But therein lies the problem, where earlier Mueller subjects have given Trump up, these two lack the option to do that,” Matthews said. “They can hardly testify against their father, which brings the country to the reckoning. If the prosecutor will not be stopped and the kids will not fall to him, we see the president’s adult children heading to prison.”

“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?” he continued. “They get to go scot-free if he’s willing to take the Agnew way out. That would mean giving up the presidency in exchange for acquittals all around, not just for himself, but for all his kids.”

This theory is giving him tingles up his legs. I can tell. He said it’s going to play out in “the coming weeks.” He just can’t wait.

FINALLY. This is how they’ll get Trump! Porn stars didn’t work. Russia didn’t work. But this? Threatening to imprison his children? That will TOTALLY get him good.

Libs are already celebrating this as a victory, even though it’s a THEORY based on Mr. Tingles’ nonsensical ramblings.

Chris Matthews believes that Trump could soon resign due to Ivanka and Don Jr.'s criminal exposure! Give me a "Hell Yeah!" https://t.co/eZYTldaiUa

The @MSNBC host @HardballChris said the Mueller investigation is about to reach a "breaking point."

Would Trump care enough about his family to walk away to keep them out of prison? We shall see how selfish 45 is. Take the deal Donald. Man up and set the world free. https://t.co/mKSjQG3Tmi
