A must read thread by former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal lays out one view of of Trump's legal jeopardy.
A situation this momentous and complex is hard to game out.
But IMO since we know a 2020-elected Democratic Attorney General has evidence sufficient to indict, Democrats now hold a sword over Donald Trump. Yesterday's Trumpian tantrum in the oval office over The Wall shows the threat of dangerous acts by the impulsive and angry President counsels prosecution as soon as reasonably possible. - gwc

21. Kicker#2: Trump has to know all of this, at least if he has decent counsel. Trump may therefore conclude, as Spiro Agnew did before him, he has 1 card left to play: resign and plea to avoid jail time. END— Neal Katyal (@neal_katyal) December 12, 2018
