Mulvaney outlined how Trump’s legal woes could play out in an opinion piece published in The Hill Wednesday morning.
He described an “outlandish” scenario in which President Joe Biden offers Trump a deal if the former president is convicted. Under that agreement, Biden would pardon Trump in exchange for his dropping out of the presidential race. Biden would then end his 2024 campaign to assure Americans that the deal was not done to make his reelection chances easier.
Mulvaney predicted Trump would ultimately accept that offer. While he said the scenario is not likely to happen, he described how the former president might approach such an offer to avoid serving time in prison.
Oh good, another rich white asshole goes essentially unpunished. All he has to do is not be president.
There’s no way he’d stick to the deal. His sycophants will drive him to it because he can’t stand not being in the limelight. And even if he didn’t run, he’s still a rabid mouthpiece driving the far right to extremes. No telling where that could lead.
