The Democrats need to take complete control of the narrative and call for Trump's resignation. This needs to be framed that his lack to do so is what will hurt the country and we need to demand that all Americans join the call. Nobody can defend this at this point. I suspect many Republicans will jump ship before the weekend is over.

We all can assume that Trump and his current band of minions know what they have done. It may not be public YET, but his sense of impunity may be hitting the wall of potential revelations to come by way of more investigation.
That is why I support calls for resignation. To merely assume that his big ego won't allow him to do that is to, perhaps, not take into account various factors. This is a point where he is really being called out on the carpet for his actions. The implications are big. This is not a shady real estate deal where he gets to screw people and laugh about it.
If I put aside my own bias, (which is like trying to separate mating jaguars) I would say that Trumps best option right now, (and that includes his coming vulnerability to lawsuits, etc.) is to resign. If he only think of himself and himself first, then this would be for him as well as us.
The ReFascist party should also be contemplating the political stink he has right now and remember Graham's prophetic words before they jump on the Train to Wreck City.
