>Trump is a genius. By showing the rest of the traitors that if you love your legacy, you can keep some of it, if you just plead guilty, save a trial, take your penalty like McStain, Paul Allen, and GHWBush. That's why he didn't pound on them during GHWBush's memorial. Gives them an incentive to do the right thing!
Don't particularly like this scenario, anon, but you may be spot on.
