Trump Telling Advisers He's Spooked at the Prospect of Being Indicted if He Loses

[SouthernCal_Dem]

President Donald Trump is reportedly telling his advisers that he is becoming increasingly nervous about the fact that he could be indicted if he loses the election on Tuesday.

Trump is currently protected from indictment under all federal laws because he’s president, but if he loses, that would all change.

Trump has gone through great lengths to avoid releasing his taxes, leaving him vulnerable to being indicted for tax fraud. Cyrus Vance Jr., the district attorney for Manhattan, is also probing the possibility that Trump has provided insurers with false information regarding his financial position in order to receive lower premiums and interest rates on loans.

In addition to Trump’s potential crimes, numerous people connected to the president — through his campaign, his presidency, or even his business — have been charged with crimes.

1. THUMBS UP!!!

[FirstLight]

2. good...let him worry

Unfortunately, that also makes his crazy ass MORE desperate to stay in office and he is already doing some dangerous shit and ginning up violence

[NurseJackie]

20. "From Russia with Love" Trump Arrest Montage (video)

[scarletwoman]

71. That was fun, thanks!

[aggiesal]

84. Comey is my Homey! Classic! n/t

[NurseJackie]

85. It's subtle... and missed by many.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

92. I love this video (wish it were real)

but I can't stand the lionization of Comey. He's a big part of what wrong for Hillary in 2016 and helped Trump (and ironically Trump STILL fired him based on the crazy idea that HE was partially responsible for a supposed "Deep State Coup" )

[NurseJackie]

93. It didn't age well... but it's still fun to watch.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

95. Oh for sure

I have it saved to my YT and glance at it every once in a while. It sort of smarts that the Mueller investigation didn't turn out to be as important or significant as it probably should be and it won't be until Trump and his ilk are gone that we will actually know the full truth behind the investigation and what happened and what Barr's role was in it ending. I tend to think that Mueller was a decent person but had to have been greatly constrained by Rosenstein and then Barr. Hopefully, we will know more sooner rather than later.

[Roland99]

3. Guess he shouldn't have chosen a life of self-indulgent, traitorous, money laundering crimes

[Baitball Blogger]

9. +1

[Claustrum]

38. Not just that. If he stayed quiet and stayed a local con, he would be fine.

He somehow had to take his con to the national level and becomes a politician. Yeah, your past will get you in trouble. Politician's whole life is known to be scrutinized to death.

[Ligyron]

51. Exactly, he just HAD to be a big shot.

They'll have to pull him kicking and screaming out from under his bed at Merde a Lardo for extradition to New York ... off you go now fat boy.

[Claustrum]

55. I still believe he never believed he would take the republican nomination, let alone the presidency

He entered the race so he could spill his racist rhetoric so he could get some Fox News role.

[LakeArenal]

4. Just like Al Capone.

[louis-t]

7. You beat me by like, 3 seconds.

[LakeArenal]

8. 😉🇺🇸

[louis-t]

5. And, like Al Capone, he dies dead broke in prison.

From untreated syphilis.

[greenjar_01]

14. Capone died outside of prison with a good deal of money

He did, however, have syphilitic dementia.

[ProfessorGAC]

35. He Regressed To The Level Of A 10 Year Old

He was a large child his last 3 or 4 years

[TeamPooka]

17. Capone was paroled in 1939 and died in Florida in 1947

[empedocles]

40. Served 8 years before parole

' . . . Capone began serving his time at the U.S. Penitentiary in Atlanta, but amid accusations that he was manipulating the system and receiving cushy treatment, he was transferred to the maximum-security lockup at Alcatraz Island, in California’s San Francisco Bay. He got out early in 1939 for good behavior, after spending his final year in prison in a hospital, suffering from syphilis . . .

www. History.com

[TeamPooka]

45. yes but those are not the flase facts in question here. but thanks i guess

[empedocles]

46. Feels good to know

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. As well he should be.

[lagomorph777]

29. Indictments are only part of his troubles.

There are a flood of personal lawsuits waiting for him.
And now that he's no longer useful to Putin, he knows too much about Putin's plans. He may want to avoid windows and tea.

[greenjar_01]

10. Trump's going to try to create leverage to negotiate his way out of indictment

under a Biden administration.

Many media figures will support a "deal" to unite the country that allows Trump to avoid indictment and "move forward," etc.

[Girard442]

21. How about a deal where he confesses on live TV what a complete fraud he is?

He could confess to his (ex?) supporters that he's been leading them to fascism because Putin paid him to.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

74. No way I'd trust him to provide a full and complete allocution to his crimes.

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

24. Federal deals won't help him in NY (or any other state) N/T

[LanternWaste]

58. Precisely how does Biden nullify potential state indictments?

[roamer65]

11. After noon on January 20, I think a whole boat full of indictments are going to hit him.

He won’t have pardon power at that point.

[cbdo2007]

12. I'm guessing they are sitting on a whole stack of things to indict him for.

Both state and federal charges.

[OLDMDDEM]

13. He is

a loser and a sucker. He deserves anything and everything that will come to him. Same way with his family.

[Marie Marie]

15. Sounds like he knows he's guilty.

[dchill]

16. Face it. He's BEEN worried about that.

[yellowcanine]

18. Maybe he and Rudy can share a spider hole in Iraq.

[Binkie The Clown]

19. "Straight from the WHite House to prison." Damn! That sounds so good. nt

[whathehell]

28. "...from the White House to the Big House"

[RGTIndy]

22. I wonder who is leaking that?

Interesting.

[brewens]

23. "Prospect" LOL. More like a flat-assed, stone cold, lead pipe cinch! Just by who and how many years

are the question. I suppose he can delay things long enough to die and avoid actually going to prison. I'd say that's his best case scenario.

[lagomorph777]

25. "Trump is currently protected from indictment under all federal laws because he's president"

Well, really only because:
(1) He has Low Barr acting as his personal liability and criminal attorney.
(2) There is a specious DOJ memo that needs to be rescinded by President Biden.

[lame54]

86. It's just a memo like...

Remember, Friday is Hawaiian shirt day

There is no law

[lagomorph777]

89. EXACTLY! Yet it's treated with all the reverence of Holy Scripture.

[coti]

26. That Pres immunity by DOJ memo is another thing Biden and a

Dem Congress need to change.

[lagomorph777]

31. Yup! It is completely anti-constitutional.

[empedocles]

42. That memo was practical legal politics. Mueller could have prosecuted, etc.,

to no effective end.

[Sgent]

48. With the current SCOTUS

we have a unitary executive, so there is no such thing as an independent agency. We would need to bring back an independent council law (which was abandoned after Clinton) and even then I'm not sure it would survive challenge at this point.

[Cha]

27. & his "advisors" are leaking it?

Well, at least trump is aware of one thing.

he should have thought about not having a 2nd term before he went on a treasonous murdering rampage. and, did nothing but LIE relentlessly.

[lagomorph777]

34. Also, maybe he should have chosen advisors who could keep their yaps shut.

[Cha]

39. lol.. yeah.. not exactly the "best people".

[Bmoboy]

30. Pardon me for mentioning it

He will have until Jan 20 to come up with a deal or resign and have Pence do a full federal pardon.

He will still have access to money and hire a pirate ship full of lawyers to delay state and civil cases as long as possible.

Under Secret Service protection, and he'll get to charge them for everything. And never pay.

Or not ...

[renate]

41. I was going to say welcome to DU, but you've been here forever!

I guess you're a "speak softly (or rarely) and carry a big stick" type! Nice to see you!

[Bmoboy]

50. Thanks for the welcome

I've been official for awhile, but glitched out by the computer overlords for unknown reasons for months. Just got back on THIS week.

[Girard442]

32. From the White House to the Big House.

From POTUS #45 to Prisoner #45601
From Commander-in-Chief to convicted thief.
From famous and rich to gang leader's bitch.
From "Four more years" to "Forty to life."

[irisblue]

33. NY AG social media people knew what they were saying here...

Link to tweet

?s=20

[OAITW r.2.0]

36. He's gonna lose a lot more than the Presidency...and he knows it.

Sucks to be you, Donald.

[dubyadiprecession]

37. Maybe trump should never have run for President in the first place?.

Considering how batshit crazy he is, plus all of his crooked, white trash problems!

[empedocles]

43. Fun thread

[Catherine Vincent]

44. I don't care what happens to him

I just want him to LOSE and LOSE BIG.

[Duppers]

88. I want justice served.

What good are laws if they don't apply to everyone?

He is a criminal.

And importantly, he should not be allowed to buy any network & keep bombarding the public airways with his hate filled lies. His minions will then keep causing trouble in the country. We've already had enough of that with Fux Lies. He won't allowed public interviews in prison.

[modrepub]

47. Thoughts and Prayers

[honest.abe]

49. Just now figuring that out.

[Evolve Dammit]

77. My first incredulous thought as well. Really?

[sarcasmo]

52. Don should pull himself up by his boot straps.

[Stinky The Clown]

53. Hey Donnie, if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. You scumbag.

[Evolve Dammit]

78. Baretta.

[joshcryer]

54. Sadly, Biden, as a Unity Candidate, isn't going to do that.

But he should pull out all the stops and really drain the swamp if he wants the Democratic Party to prosper. They need to be taught a lesson.

[LiberalFighter]

56. Misstatement there. He is not protected by federal laws from prosecution.

It is only a Justice department policy.

Leia Idliby apparently doesn't check the facts.

[Vivienne235729]

57. I hope to god, reality will come crashing down on him and his asshole criminal family.

They all deserve to rot in jail for the rest of their lives. And then I hope they rot in hell too.

[SunSeeker]

59. He should be spooked. nt

[ClusterFreak]

60. I hope he sweats bullets non-stop until he gets that cold knock on the door. n/t

[Democrat 4 Ever]

61. I'm thinking he will go from being mankind's most healthiest human

in the history of time to begging to be released from jail because the COVID will “suddenly” become dangerous. He’ll u turn so fast his supporters will get whiplash. I want him in jail. His supporters need a clear example of the rule of law.

[William Seger]

62. Just because you're paranoid, Donnie,

...doesn't mean they aren't after you.

[Rebl2]

63. I don't

care if he’s scared/spooked if he’s indicated. Do you? About time he gets some jail time like some of his people did that worked for him!

[LudwigPastorius]

64. Ooooh. Maybe he'll take the Hitler-in-the-bunker way out.

Many people are saying that such an extreme narcissist would never have the balls to do such a thing.

Prove 'em wrong, Donny!

[Buns_of_Fire]

65. Maybe he should start playing this at his final rallies...

[bluescribbler]

66. if he loses the election?

We'd better make sure he loses.

[Mr. Ected]

67. There's only one job in the USA that could have been exploited to permit this

Fucker should be happy he stole 4 years of freedom. He also defecated on our Constitution, pissed on the American people, and still believes himself to be above every single one of us, including his army of misdirected devotees. If anyone at any time in world history deserved to be tried in public for every single one of his transgressions, it's this evil, cowardly, pustulent example of everything that is wrong with mankind that needs to be fixed.

This man threw a wrench in the works and we're all damned lucky to still be alive.

[IronLionZion]

68. We can have modern day Nuremburg trials

Some Trump officials will try to flee the country. Take away their passports while they stand trial. I doubt even Russia will grant them asylum. They may have to try North Korea.

[noneof_theabove]

76. Pull the whole criminal gang passport

Then if he wins, after all states have certified, somewhere around Dec 10
maybe they can get them back. Some still need to stand trial like JarVanka.

[Hulk]

69. He should be worried...

They are licking their chops for January 21 to arrive😈

I'm worried about what this draft dodging coward con artist is going to do to our government and our nation before then.

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if he takes off to Russia right after he leaves the White House. Mark my word👿

[anamnua]

70. All he has to do is resign before January

in return for a pardon from President Pence -- a la Nixon/Ford '74.

[Totally Tunsie]

72. It's nice to see he's finally developing some self-awareness!

Methinks Chump needs his blankie.

[TexasBushwhacker]

73. Who's the leak?

That's what I want to know.

[SheltieLover]

75. Prospect?

How about absolute certainty!

He is delusional.

[Brainfodder]

79. Since he is 74, in terrible shape, should we bug him literally all over without his knowledge &...

[RobertDevereaux]

80. Increasingly spooked?

THE SOLUTION IS THIS:

You and Pence resign NOW!

THIS VERY MOMENT!

You'll gain such peace of mind. We guarantee that. As well as an abundance amount of SOLITARY TIME to contemplate your innumerable failings.

What a GIFT that would be to you. GRAB IT while you can.

[DFW]

81. If true, it raises an interesting point

It would indicate he hasn't completely lost contact with reality after all..............

[ecstatic]

82. EVERYONE VOTE!! Lock him up!! Nt

[Buckeyeblue]

83. There will be some sort deal for him.

But creditors will come after him. He'll end up selling most of his properties.

But I do think the Trump TV thing might happen. It won't last long. Trump is a one act pony. Soon, even his most ardent supporters will grow tired of his act.

Those running for president in 2024 will never utter his name.

[UTUSN]

87. K&R

[NNadir]

90. I think he'll try to escape the country.

He certainly committed enough crimes to put him away for life. The most notable are treason and obstruction of justice.

[Faux pas]

91. Reaping

and sowing and, BTW,

[Proud Liberal Dem]

94. Seems like

Worrying about losing your legal immunity if you lose should be an automatic disqualification. Just sayin'
