We all know by now that Donald Trump is the king of projection. Every accusation he makes is a confession, every slam on an opponent or disloyal former friend is an acknowledgement of something he's done himself.
Now, with the Democrats coming into power in the House of Representatives next month, the future Intelligence Committee Chairman is saying that Benedict Donald could be hauled off to the hoosegow.
"My takeaway is there's a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him," Congressman Adam Schiff said. "That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time."
A fitting fate for the major-party candidate who, during one of the major Presidential debates, threatened his opponent with just that.
So, short of refusing to vacate 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (something we've worried he'd do), after Trump loses in 2020, how can he keep himself out of the slammer? Simple: All he has to do is resign on January 19 and have Pence (or whoever gets to be President for a day) pardon him. It would also have the added advantage of excusing Trump from welcoming Kamala Harris/Beto O'Rourke/Cory Booker to the White House the next day, and then go to the Capitol and have to sit and watch the guy/gal who beat him sworn in.
We're kidding, of course. Unless we're not. These days, you never know what's going to happen. We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
