** Maddow: Trump Could Avoid Jail Time by Vowing in a Plea Deal Never to Run for President
------------------------------------------------------------

Wednesday on MSNBC’s The ReidOut ([link removed]) , network host Rachel Maddow ([link removed]) told racist anchor Joy Reid ([link removed]) that former President Trump could make a plea deal vowing not to run for president again to avoid jail time.
Reid said, “What are the chances that Donald Trump, and I had not thought about until you said it, that instead of going through with this trial he takes a plea with the vowed to not run for president again like Spiro Agnew did in the 70s.”
Maddow said, “I don’t know what the odds are. I can’t imagine him pleading guilty to anything. Who among us wants to spend too much time floating around inside his mind even proverbially? So who knows what’s gonna happen. But if this is as strong a case as the indictment makes it look and that’s the prosecution’s best case, it will get challenged in court. It will be an adversarial process. We will see how strong the defense is. But if the indictment is that strong and the Justice Department is going to treat this as a like case compared to other people who have been charged under the Espionage Act then he is looking at jail time.
“What would Trump do to avoid jail time?” she continued. “I guess, I literally suppose, that he would do anything. And if it’s going to come to him avoiding jail time, now that this indictment exists he’s either going to have to win in court defending yourself against the charges by saying, ‘Yes I did it,’ is not a good defense. So how else can you avoid jail time? You can plea in exchange for leniency.”
Maddow added, “Spiro Agnew used that is a get out of jail free card. It’s not just that he was vice president, it was that prosecutors assumed that he was about to become president because Nixon was teetering. They were right. In order to keep Agnew out, they traded him jail time for his resignation.”
And that’s what the Democrats want: for Trump to vow not to run again. Because they don’t care about justice or the law; they care about eliminating the political threat.

One of the most frequently recurring themes of Maddow’s commentary is the notion that Republicans and conservatives are prone to racism, and that Republican political leaders commonly seek to exploit racial fears and prejudices among their voting base. In July 2007, for instance, Maddow wrote ([link removed]) an AlterNet ([link removed]) blog titled “Republicans Celebrate Their Whiteness,” portraying the Republican Party as an entity steeped in racial exclusivity and elitism. Asserting that Republican candidates were “not on the right side” of any major political or social issue, Maddow posed the question, “What DO the [R]epublicans have going for them?” She then provided the answer: “[W]ell, they’re WHITE guys.”
