I think if he is facing impeachment, and more so criminal prosecution, he bails/ cuts a deal. This impeachment factor presupposes its bad enough he faces a good chance of conviction in the Senate.

This should set off some alarm bells:

Tutored would help.

What does Mitch McConnell's inaction mean? Is he just trying to protect his Senators or himself? Does he see negotiating with Trump as pointless? https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/senate-majority-leader-mitch-mcconnell-stands-back-as-shutdown-drags-on?fbclid=IwAR2PGiebmEscuDG4X06CagYlVaA37Yicq_Xu4ZyT0OuHeNZ20JERSYB3j8U

I mean honestly him resigning is looking pretty likely at this point anyhow.

No. His resignation, forfeiture of all property, a national viewing of the pee tape, and exile in on Elba Island for a continuous white picket fence no taller than 4 feet made of wood with zero maintenance. Add: the original post was less than 2pt5 b

I don't believe he will settle for anything less than something he can call a wall after the shutdown is ended. I personally would give him some money for steel slats (less than 2.5b) in exchange for legislation precluding another shutdown and his resignation.

Seems the most likely form of corroborating evidence would be an audio tape. That would be pretty damning.

Alternatively maybe when Trump hits an approval of 35 he caves. Probably two weeks for that.

The real question is how long Senate Republicans can hold out. Trump is unlikely to agree to anything that can pass the Senate. His veto will have to be over ridden.

There's no way this ends before something bad happens to force it to.

Fox New website has absolutely nothing about the Buzzfeed story.

I love how when Klobuchar very obviously references Trump's drafting of a response on AF1 to the NYT inquiry about the Trump Tower meeting Barr responds "I'd have to know the specifics".
