Dude… where are they even GETTING this stuff?!
Chris Matthews, the hack known well-known for proclaiming he got a “thrill” up his leg whenever he watched former President Barack Obama talk, has a “theory” on what Trump intends to do to spare himself and his family from prison.
Yup. Really.
According to Daily Wire:
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews thinks President Trump might just resign as part of a secret deal with special prosecutor Robert Mueller in an effort to avoid prosecution of himself or members of his family.
“The president’s children stand right in the line of Mueller’s investigative progress,” Matthews said this week on his show “Hardball,” referring to Ivanka and Donald Jr. “They stand as the next dominoes to fall,” Matthews said, noting that the Trump children can “hardly testify against their father.”
“Therein lies the problem: Where earlier Mueller subjects have given Trump up, these two lack the option to do that,” said the TV entertainer, adding that if Mueller “will not be stopped and the kids will not fall to him, we see the president’s adult children heading to prison.”
Again… where is he getting this?!
Heading to prison FOR WHAT?!
Matthews then mused about a solution. “But what if the prosecutor were to offer the president an alternative?” he said. “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,” said Matthews.
And he’s not the only one saying this crap:
The scenario has become a favorite of Washington insiders and mainstream media of late. The Washington Post’s “conservative” columnist Jennifer Rubin said last week that Trump is likely planning an 11th hour stunt to avoid going to jail.
“I would predict here on MSNBC that when Trump leaves office he will resign the presidency 10 minutes before Mike Pence leaves office, allowing Pence to pardon him if there is not a Republican president to follow him,” Rubin said on the network’s “AM Joy” show.
Under Rubin’s theory, on January 20, 2021 (or, more likely, 2025), Trump will resign the presidency at 11:50 a.m. (the incoming president is sworn in at the Capitol at noon). Then, the vice president will be sworn in as president (he’d have to be), and whip out a presidential pardon, which he’d sign. At noon, poof, Pence is no longer president and Trump is in the clear.
These people are NUTS.
No WONDER the TDS Twitter crowd is frothing at the mouth. They have THIS guiding them.
