    I think people are missing the bigger question here:

    Would literally any other defendant facing 34 felony counts, unlimited resources, and the ability to flee the jurisdiction at will even be given the opportunity to travel to Florida and/or Minnesota at all? I seriously doubt it.

    But hey, it’s OK guys. Just keep letting him do whatever the hell he wants to do with no consequences whatsoever, and then wonder why he keeps doing it. The fact that judge after judge after judge refuses to take action against him or, worse, explicitly allow his behavior to continue has absolutely no bearing on him continuing to take a steaming shit all over the judicial system. Really. I swear.

      In this case because he can most likely not hide anywhere as he is so famous. Also I don’t think his narcissism would not allow him to flee.

        In this case because he can most likely not hide anywhere as he is so famous.

        He’d still have multiple options:

        1. Fly to one of the many countries he has property in, and drag out the extradition process. Look how many years it’s taking to get Julian Assange. Imagine how long Trump can drag it out.

        2. Fly to one of his properties in a country without extradition, if he has any.

        3. Take an offer from one of the many countries out there willing to host him in exchange for what useful information he has.

          Putin will probably reward him with all the pussy he wants for the list of US agents he has given to Russia.

            Nah. Look at Snowden. Putin basically threw him into some small town, told him to learn russian and have a nice day while a whole bunch of FSB agents walk around town making sure he stays put.

            He’ll do the same to Trump, especially once he coughs up anything Putin considers useful. And once that’s done and Trump becomes more of a problem than he’s worth, he’ll suddenly develop the same problems with gravity that a lot of Russian agents tend to have at the end of their careers.
