Would you accept this Trump plea deal?

He agrees to sit down without an attorney and truthfully answer any and all questions by the DOJ to anything that they’d like to ask him starting in 2015 when he started campaigning until the present.
Any perceived dodging of ANY questions nullifies the deal.
In exchange, all federal charges are dropped. New York and Georgia agrees to do the same.
Trump is stripped of his American citizenship, passport seized, and he is given a one way airline ticket to either Russia, North Korea, or Saudi Arabia. He is barred from life from ever visiting any American state or territory or he will be arrested and jailed.

Although if it were possible for him to tell the truth, I would accept the deal to avoid the long taxpayer litigation.

However, the RW nut jobs would have their living martyr and the espionage would continue. So no deal like this would ever be possible for either side.

Only, too, if Russia housed him in a very tall building with large very loose windows.

Psychopaths are notorious for being able to pass them, because they do not have the physical responses to lying that normal people do.

It's also beyond easy for normal people to pass them: Put a tack inside your shoe, and tap it when you're telling the truth. You'll get the same response to that as for a lie.

Criminals have known all of this for ages--and courts caught up to that not long after.

That's why polygraphs aren't used anymore. Everyone knows they're not reliable.

I want him humiliated before the entire world.

A narcissist like him getting hounded in a court of law would have him resort to what all narcissists do when someone attacks their precious self-image often enough and without mercy: Narcissistic rage. It will be really ugly when he lets loose the full extent of the rage and hate boiling inside him.

He will destroy himself, before he realizes what he's done.

The feds can't tell states what to do.

The US can't force a non citizen into another country (if they want him, pretty sure he has outlived his usefulness as nothing more than a disruptor)

I rather relish the thought of him sitting in a jail with crappy sheets, clothes and no hair product. The germs and bad food would be a real schadenfreude scenario.

I doubt he will spend a day in jail no matter the outcome, though. Just no way a former US President with all the security details will go to jail is my belief.

There isn’t anyone with the power to bind prosecutors in multiple states… and that imaginary person wouldn’t have the power to strip him of his citizenship anyway.

I’m also not sure why he would take the deal. He is unlikely to face any punishment that would make this deal look preferable

That's federal law.

He can seek delays, and probably will, he may even win a few, but the clock is always resets to 70 days once the delay ends, no matter what.

For no time served, just a disqualification from ever holding office again.

TBH, I think Americans want a lot more than that. I think the vast majority of us want to see him led off to prison.

The next time I want to see him is in a video shot of a hearse leaving said prison.

I'd be fine with that except he would need to be gagged as well. I don't want to be forced to hear from him at all. He needs to be sanctioned. No communication or profiting off US citizens.

US citizenship is if they used fraud to obtain it (like Melania did, I still want her stripped and deported, along with her chain-migrated family) in the first lace. Trump did not, he was born in the US to 2 US citizen parents.

He could voluntarily renounce, but I do not see him ever doing that, even if offered your deal. He fully thinks he is going to become the next POTUS.
