Showing Original Post only (View all)from Bill Palmer: Former White House staffer says Trump is considering resigning - because of Flynn [View all]
For all it's worth, Palmer has been pretty right on lately - Louise Mensch said he got a few things wrong last week - but we can all hope.
I don't know who Claude Taylor is so............
Now that Donald Trumps former National Security Adviser is offering to testify in Trumps Russia scandal in exchange for immunity, it significantly narrows the path for Trump managing to survive the scandal himself. Flynn is essentially admitting hes guilty just by asking for immunity, and such a deal will only be granted if Flynn can take down a bigger fish; that fish would be Trump. So it doesnt come as a total shock to see a credible report tonight that Donald Trump is considering resigning.
Claude Taylor, who worked on three presidential campaigns and served on President Bill Clintons White House staff, tweeted the following this evening: An ind journalist I have worked with-who has been reliable-says they have 2 sources that say Trump is considering options-incl resignation. Heres the tweet in its proper formatting:

OP
It makes sense, actually. Why wouldn't he want to get the hell out of dodge?

Some of Mensch's tweets - sounds like Steele said it at an open dinner & intel claims early dementia

Palmer I don't pay attention to but if Jester says this may have merit, it might be legit.
