Former Bush Ethics Attorney Richard Painter Says Theres Only 1 Way Out For Trump Now
He said the president better move fast because time is running out.
Its quite clear his goose is cooked here, he said Wednesday on MSNBC.
Painter said the three-year prison sentence handed down on Wednesday to Michael Cohen, Trumps former longtime personal attorney, should be a warning sign to the White House.

He said Trump has just one way out to protect himself and his family: a comprehensive plea deal to federal and state charges in exchange for his resignation.
Donald Trump is in serious trouble. His lawyers ought to be telling him to negotiate a plea deal, Painter said. Get him out of the White House. Have him resign, plead guilty to lower charges and lets move on as a country.

"We're indicting you unless you resign. We'll keep the indictment sealed and when you go on TV to say you're going back to NY, we'll open it and shred it."
Then he admits to nothing and says it has something to do with health or spending more time with his family.

Treasonous Pence! If you think Pence knew nothing of Trump's dealings with the Russians to win/steal the republican nomination, then THINK AGAIN!
