What are the odds trump and his family will flee the country?

[duforsure]

I think trump doesn't trust Pence will pardon him if he resigns, and will either try to get others ( Putin, eric prince and others) try to pull something for trump , or flee to another country, is 50/50. He knows what's coming, and he and his family with many others will be getting exposed . Of course if he does he'll claim he's being victimized again by corrupt people, when the proof will show overwhelmingly he was working for putin , and tied to massive corruption , and horrific crimes all along. Along with GOP members of Congress. If he tries a self pardon, it'll easily fail. trump's desperation now is showing more every day.

1. very low. he has too many cult followers here. he thrives on their "love" and he will never pay for

his crimes.

[bearsfootball516]

2. Not gonna happen.

[duforsure]

3. Hope you're right,

But cornered desperate criminals do stupid things to prevent going to prison.

[beachbumbob]

4. depends on how many indictments are going to hit trump and his family, serving time in New York

State prisons is no fun for entitled white rich folks.

The odds are high in my view.

[secondwind]

9. There are already 67 to date.

[beachbumbob]

11. if this is indeed the case, trumps have little choice but leave and seek asylum elsewhere, the

ability of trump to bully or buyoff state level politicians like he has for 30 years is over with a few exceptions There is no law, no federal pardon that prevents state level indictments. BUT trump becoming a resident of Florida, he would have to be extradited from Florida and he has bought off Florida politicians and judges before. Of course that requires him never to leave Florida, ever.



The walls are closing in and trumps will react accordingly with greater insanity.

5. I don't think so

I don't think he think he's ever done anything wrong because breaking the rules to reach the desired end is acceptable to him and his kind. Remember his response: "Because I'm smart...."

People like him and his family think that everyone breaks the rules, and whoever breaks the rules best is a "winner".

[onenote]

6. zero.

Not that it will stop some DUers from continuing to post this nonsense again and again between now and January 20.

[Hoyt]

15. It won't stop on Jan 20th either. I'd love to see him in a cage, but don't expect it to happen.

The election was the ultimate prosecution and conviction.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

7. Don't know, but if they flee, and there is a nice bounty on their heads,

just call me "Cat, The Bounty Hunter".

[North Shore Chicago]

8. The odds?

Not high enough.

[Joinfortmill]

10. I agree

[Raine]

12. Zero nt

[USALiberal]

13. Zero

[Johnny2X2X]

14. 0.0%

People don't get it, the Presidency basically makes you immune from prosecution. Why? The Dems aren't going to go after Trump and his family because they know that would mean that the Reps would go after the family of Ex Dem Presidents. I realize one family commits crimes, the others do not, but that's not how 2/5ths of the country sees it.

16. They are high level national security threats...

They aren't leaving the country.

[judesedit]

17. He'll say he's in the U.S., but, in reality, will not be

[WePurrsevere]

18. Months ago I thought there was a good chance...

Now not so much because it's pretty clear to me that he truly believes that his rich white and 'presidential' privilege will get him out of anything including all of the crimes he and his family have perpetrated in various states and this country.

[quickesst]

19. I would say

.... There is some motivation for him to do so.

he will lose the legal protections afforded to the president

 hush-money payments made before the 2016 election

 tax and insurance fraud, as well as falsification of business records

 active tax fraud investigation

separate defamation lawsuits .

Mary Trump, the president’s niece, also has filed a lawsuit accusing him and two family members of fraud and conspiracy to deprive her of her share of the family’s real-estate empire.

 U.S. Justice Department for federal income-tax evasion charges.
