He may try, but I get the sense that all three are smart enough to cover themselves.

He will definitely blame others as he never takes personal responsibility for anything he does

He can't help but make his situation even worse

And indict/try the lower levels first, and then work up to the big fish. I am not sure if they always do this, but with the little fishes flipping on Dump...I don't think he can do any harm?

(115,806 posts)5. Nixon threw some of his guys under the bus.
Haldeman, Ehrlichman, and Dean were all fired because Nixon was trying to cover up the cover-up and these guys knew too much. I wouldn't put anything past Trump; he expects loyalty but he doesn't give it back.
Of course, Dean totally rolled on Nixon and that was the beginning of the end. That, and the tapes.

Sacrifice others before he is brought down in disgrace. He will also place blame on the media for constantly reporting on this. Obstruction of Justice and money laundering under RICO are serious offenses
If Mike Pence fills in as President and pardons Trump, that will be used against him come 2020. Jerry Ford had the Nixon pardon around his neck and it did him no favors in 1976.
