Federal Judge Found ‘Reason to Believe’ Trump Would ‘Flee from Prosecution’
Federal Judge Found ‘Reason to Believe’ Trump Would ‘Flee from Prosecution’
Though the DOJ ultimately said Trump wasn’t a flight risk, the judge’s finding in a fight over a Twitter search warrant raised eyebrows
FTA:
Overshadowed by the news that Special Counsel Jack Smith secretly obtained access to Donald Trump’s Twitter account, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit relegated a blockbuster revelation to a footnote.
“The district court also found reason to believe that the former President would ‘flee from prosecution,’” it began.
Honestly? I don't think that's even the worst thing that could happen. Trump in exile is not Trump in the Oval Office.
Trump in exile still gives him internet access and the ability to speak to and direct his followers...
Allowing him to escape justice IS the worst possible scenario in my book. Who cares if he's not president if he's directing his terrorist goons to cause more harm or deaths here in the States while he sits comfortably elsewhere after getting away with everything he's done.
Trump is a moron. Probably a pedo. He didn't direct anyone to trash that building.
He's not being prosecuted because he isn't responsible for the actions of others. He never gave any direction to go crazy and smash a building.
Just because he didn't say the words "go trash that building" doesn't mean he didn't incite the mob that did it.
TWEEEET
There are multiple fouls on the play...
-
Conjunction fallacy – the assumption that an outcome simultaneously satisfying multiple conditions is more probable than an outcome satisfying a single one of them
-
Non-sequitur fallacy – where the conclusion does not logically follow the premise
-
Affirming the consequent – the antecedent in an indicative conditional is claimed to be true because the consequent is true; if A, then B; B, therefore A
Multiple other minor fouls not enforced. 15 yard penalty, repead 3rd down.

Remember when trump took four hours to go on TV and tell his people to go home, that he loves them. And later referred to them as great patriots?
Meanwhile during those 4 hours refusing to release the national gaurd, even though he had other senators ask him to. He tweeted and watched the news. Remember also that the police were short staffed that day and the precautions that should have been put in place were denied.
Within 30 minutes of Trump's speech ending the capitol was declared a riot.
So I guess if you want to be really technical and say he didn't cause this because he never explicitly ordered it (except remember during the debates where he said "proud boys to stand back and stand by") ... but he definitely dragged his feet trying to prevent or stop it and then did a half assed job. It would be hard to convince me he wasn't at least glad this happened.
I'm still surprised he didn't try to take air force one to Russia on Biden's inauguration day.
Maybe he did try but the people around him did their jobs.
If jobs were done properly, he would've had a boating accident years ago.
Maybe that's why they haven't cracked down on him. Justice is about accountability and preventing future harm, it's not supposed to be purely punitive or retaliatory, and if he exiled himself and was convicted in absentia that would take care of a lot of issues vs the hazard of him being a "political prisoner" for years on end.
Many coup and counter-coup leaders in history end up in exile as a bargain: don't try to retake the throne and bring more pain to our people and we won't seek vengeance.
Like napoleon. It’s better to give him the death sentence.
But Trump himself hasn't done too much awful stuff: it's his insane followers who have killed people and tried to overthrow the government, he just rides those waves. Could you imagine what DeSantis could do to rile up actual fascism if America executed Trump for treason? Never givea heavily armed fascist 40% of a country a martyr.
Yeah, no shit lol
lol no shit.. hahaha he's already got an apartment in Moscow, and another in Riyadh..
