The talk is that he makes a deal with the SDNY that they won’t prosecute him after he is no longer President, in exchange for resigning.

This is what Nixon did. Then Ford pardoned him (Pence would pardon Trump while Pence is President for the last few months.)

This guarantees that Trump won’t win a 2nd term, but it also guarantees that he won’t get indicted if he loses a 2nd term. If his AG knows what kind of discovery they have against Trump, a plea deal is the way to go. Nobody else gets the deal, though.

SCOTUS is expected to issue their decision re Trump’s taxes and financials tomorrow. Maybe.

@GulDukat , I’m not sure what the GOP rules say about this scenario. But everything I’m seeing says that Pence would be the likely nominee, and the RNC picks the VP.
