Would you support giving Trump the Spiro Agnew deal?

In 1973, Vice President Spiro Agnew was facing a massive federal criminal investigation related to corruption during his time in Maryland politics.

Agnew reached a deal with federal prosecutors under which he agreed to resign from office and plead guilty to a single count of tax evasion. In return for his resignation, prosecutors agreed not to give Agnew any jail time and not to pursue any other charges relating to the corruption investigation.

Hypothetically, would you support giving Donald Trump such a deal? Suppose, for the sake of argument, that it could be made in a legally binding way (though I'm not certain that's true) -- Trump agrees to plead guilty to one small charge and never to run for office again. In return, he gets no jail time and prosecutors agree not to charge him for any other crimes.


TIL Gerald Ford had the distinction of being the only person to serve as POTUS without being elected to either the presidency or the vice presidency. He was voted by Congress to be vice president after Spiro Agnew resigned, then filled the presidency after Nixon resigned.
