.... no and that he should expect to be charged very soon.

"How can the DoJ possibly charge me, who did nothing wrong ..... "

I look for him to try to flee very soon because he knows he is caught and the penalty
for espionage could be a life sentence. And bet Jack Smith has the proof of his dealings
with foreign powers with those stolen classified documents. I hope that his crimes are
all laid out with solid proof so his “Magadonians" will have to deal with the reality that he
is now and always has been a grifting traitor.

I'm sure he's got people around him trying to soothe his fears and reinforce the falsehoods and fairytales he's lived by (AND succeeded by) throughout his life.

IIRC, the same type of thing happened just before Alvin Bragg did his indictments, where he "preemptively" predicted over a weekend (3/18/23) that "Tuesday" (3/21/23) would be the day when he would be arrested, which turned out wrong.

Eventually it was officially announced over 2 weeks later on a Monday (4/3/23) and occurred on Tuesday (4/4/23).

In the interim, he was fundraising.

I think someone has counted up the years he could get, and told him so. He's calculating his risk.

everything they needed. And he did that straight away.

And I'm no Mike Pence defender, but from what I understand, Pence did the same thing, with the same minimal numbers of documents that he wasn't supposed to have, either. Alerted officials, invited them to come and take the docs away.

In both cases, NOWHERE NEAR the defiance and lies and distortions and "keep-away" "hide the ball" "move the goal posts" games that the donald has made his signature "defense strategy" over the years. Nicolle Wallace on her MSNBC show just said that's become trump's "calling card" by now.
