That's my ideal as well, but as I understand, the prosecutor can only offer that deal if one of the penalties in one of the laws he's accused of violating is a bar on public service.  There's also the dual sovereignty problem.  A deal with the Georgia prosecutor won't be binding on federal prosecutors in any way.  Our legal system just wasn't set up to provide this remedy. Impeachment was the remedy.  7 republican senators understood that.  But we needed 17.
