Martin London, the attorney who represented Vice President Spiro Agnew in 1973, when Agnew resigned under fire, has come out and said Donald Trump should resign for the good of the nation.
London also says that things will not get better for Trump, as more revelations come out, and that Trump would be helping his family, and possibly saving them from legal dangers, if he would agree to resign.
As bad as Spiro Agnew and Richard Nixon were, they had the dignity to realize that time was up, and that they should clean the slate by resigning, and therefore, retain some level of dignity.
But Donald Trump is not Spiro Agnew nor Richard Nixon, so the odds of his agreeing to leave the Presidency are not good.
He may have to be pulled kicking and screaming out of the Oval Office by Secret Service agents, a hard to imagine scenario.
But also, the nation could be in danger, and Trump could attempt to declare martial law and suspend the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and one would hope he would be stopped by the Justice Department, the Secret Service, and the military leadership, if such a dastardly deed were attempted.

‘John McCain, senator and former presidential candidate, dies at 81’

D, I was out for the evening, trying to get away from the stress we all face every day, and I come home, and it is you who actually informed me of the death of John McCain.
I was hoping McCain would live to next Wednesday, which would have been his 82nd birthday, but may he rest in peace, as a great American hero who cared about his country!
