Former Trump Organization VP: Trump may leave the country before the end of his presidency.

[Doodley]

Longtime Trump Organization executive Barbara Res appeared on CNN Newsroom With Ana Cabrera on Sunday where she raised questions about how, and where, Trump’s term in office will come to an end. President Trump’s finances, and that of The Trump Organization, are the focus of multiple investigations in the state of New York. Res believes Trump may leave the country before he leaves office to escape the legal jeopardy he could face as a citizen.

“I think catastrophe comes except for Donald. You know, as much as it’s almost impossible to think how he’s gonna weasel his way out of it, I think he will,” Res said. “If there are real legitimate charges leveled against him or hanging over his head the minute he becomes a citizen, I think he may leave the country. I think he may leave the country before the end of his presidency.”

1. But to where?

[Sugar Smack]

6. Mar-a-lago, of course.

[Initech]

40. Maybe we can just make Mar-A-Lago its' own country.

And putting a wall around that is something I would gladly support!

[Sugar Smack]

42. The biggest wall EVER

[hlthe2b]

8. Well, UAE has no extradition treaty and COINCIDENCE-- He's approved $23 billion in military sales

to the UAE against the bilateral wishes of Congress...

I'm sure Dubai could use another vulgar Trump tower...

[pandr32]

13. I guess he could build a golf resort there, too.

That's his favorite activity besides hogging the limelight.

[PufPuf23]

26. That is $23 billion not $23 million in arms sales to UAE.

Senate to vote on banning $23 billion UAE arms sales next week

WASHINGTON ― The Senate will vote next week on legislation to halt the Trump administration’s $23 billion sale of F-35 fighter jets, Reaper drones and munitions to the United Arab Emirates, a lawmaker said Thursday.

Four pending joint resolutions of disapproval offer lawmakers a chance to block the Trump administration’s 11th hour proposal to transfer arms to the Emirates. Critics say the sales, meant to bolster the UAE against Iran, ignores risks to Israel and to sensitive military technology posed by UAE’s ties to Russia and China.

Asked about the legislation, Sen. Bob Menendez, who is sponsoring the effort to bar the weapons sale with Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., told reporters: “It’s ripe, it’s ready, it has privilege on the floor. We are gathering support for it and I would think sometime next week.”

The deal includes 50 F-35s, 18 MQ–9B Reapers, as well as thousands of munitions and hundreds of missiles. It was approved by the U.S. State Department in November after the UAE agreed to formalize diplomatic relations with Israel.

Because there are four resolutions targeting different parts of the sale, it remains unclear how the votes will be structured and whether each one will attract a different level of support. The resolutions are privileged, which means they can be called up without the approval of Senate leaders.

27. typo... corrected.

[PufPuf23]

32. Good AM to you, most welcomed.

$23 million and $23 billion are both too much in arms to sell to UAE, arms sales are not an attractive part of our economy. What waste and inhumanity.

[Blues Heron]

2. "becomes a citizen," hmm freudian slip?

[Wounded Bear]

3. All bullies are basically cowards, so it wouldn't be surprising...

It would almost be worth it to see all the MAGAs' heads exploding.



But I would much rather see him stick around and suffer for the last few years of his miserable life.

[onenote]

4. I avoid making predictions. But I predict that those saying he'll leave the country are wrong.

[dalton99a]

5. Highly doubtful. Trump won't spend a day in prison

All it takes is a MAGA sympathizer on the jury - and there are plenty of them in New York

Regardless, Trump must be indicted for his crimes.

[zaj]

14. Do all juries have to be unanimous?

That seems to be an unreasonable standard in all but the most serious cases, but I don't know.

[localroger]

35. They do now

There were some states that allowed supermajority decisions, such as allowing up to 3 dissenters in a guilty verdict, but it was found that that resulted in a lot of very hastily decided cases. There is currently a case headed to the SC that will decide whether people who were convicted by non-unanimous juries should get new trials.

[whopis01]

39. Yes. For criminal trials, jury convictions must be unanimous.

Until recently Oregon and Louisiana were the only states to allow non-unanimous jury convictions. However, in April the Supreme Court decided that under the 6th amendment all criminal jury convictions must be unanimous. (Ramos vs Louisiana)

[Captain Zero]

43. Authoritarians come out of prison stronger

Than they went in. History shows us.
Mussolini, Hitler, Erdogan, Chavez, Lenin.
All authoritarians and in particular he first three fascists above came out of prison stronger than they went in.

I am reading Madeleine Albrights book, Fascism. She points this out . So I would say if he goes to prison it better be a term that will keep him there during the next election.

[ScratchCat]

7. Being referred to as "Individual 1"

in Michael Cohen's court documents means Trump is charged in another filing which is sealed. He found this out when Barr took over. Barr can't do anything about it. Only a pardon from Pence can nullify the indictment.

[empedocles]

9. Suspect trump's 'escape to another country' problem is finding a sure, safe haven.

[If he had that - game changer]

[lpbk2713]

10. He used the term "shit hole country" before.

Now he will call one "my new home".

[Mme. Defarge]

11. Been thinking this all along.

I felt this possibility was confirmed when he told his followers last September that if he didn’t win the election he might go away and they wouldn’t hear from him anymore.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-tells-supporters-you-ll-never-see-me-again-if-he-loses-to-biden/ar-BB19en51

I have also wonder if he might fake his own death.

[Cyrano]

12. Between the IRS and all his other debts,

the courts could leave him penniless. That alone would be reason enough for him to flee the country.

Where would he go? Moscow? Saudi Arabia? Actually neither country would have any use for him once he's out of power and he could be considered a "problem" person. Moscow poisons "problem" people. The Saudis behead them.

Given how incredibly ignorant he is, he might want to go to Wyoming. He probably doesn't even know it's part of the U.S. and Dick Cheney has been perfectly safe there for years.

[awesomerwb1]

15. Doubt it

He'll wait a few months to see if the charges are the type he can drag out in court before he considers leaving the country.
Too much money to be made "running" in 2024. He could easily make $2 billion before 2024 all while feeding his ego with rallies. He's still the king of the republi err trumpublican party.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

17. He can create a media outlet and make bank putting nonsense out to the 30%

And he doesn't need to be in the country to do that.

[awesomerwb1]

20. That's true as well.

Completely forgot about "trump tv/news" which I think is going to happen 100%. And as you said, he could do it from overseas. Playing the victim while he takes the MAGAts' money until he dies. So he'$ $till valuable to Putin after all.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

22. I've been saying he will have a Trump News for a while now.

My wife disagrees. I think he would like nothing more than to have a couple hour slot where he can just ramble his fucking nonsense.

[lindysalsagal]

33. I say we Truman show him. We make it appear like he's on tv all the time

and pay idiots to show up and cheer for him. Let him think it's all a real tv platform and he's got millions of followers. Meanwhile, the news ignores it all and the rest of us live normal lives....

[blogslut]

16. IMHO?

Those tyrants and dictators he sold us out to don't need him anymore. He useless to them now. He's about to be useless to just about everybody.

[awesomerwb1]

21. Not necessarily

He can still generate lots of $$$ to keep Putin et al happy for at least a few years more. Plus he can still be a very strong destabilizing force.

[greenjar_01]

18. Who would take him?

[Frustratedlady]

19. The UAE would be my choice. Ivanka and Jared have been there recently on separate trips...

Jared, supposedly on trips to keep Israel safe but why would he care about that when they are soon to be out of office. I never did see why Ivanka was over there, unless it was to beg for money...(same with Jared)...or, look for a residence.

Daddy would want her out of reach by the SDNY. Not so sure about the boys. If Daddy had Ivanka to comfort him, he could go through most anything, but he would never allow her to be imprisoned.

[2naSalit]

23. I thimk they won't get anywhere as...

they would be fugitives from justice and not be able to escape their fate. They are all national security risks so I think a few intel agencies might have a say in where they go from now on.

[lindysalsagal]

31. Let's hope the pentagon hasn't really told him anything the russians don't already know.

It's entirely possible that the highest security people all decided years ago not to include him, and he's too dumb to ask.

The only way he'd call one up and ask a pointed question would be if vlad put him up to it, and they could easily use that for disinformation.

Our country has always been very good at this.

[2naSalit]

34. Indeed.

It's not like he hasn't been an obvious russian troll since before the election. Just because we are now finding out about all this does not mean that 17 intel agencies didn't and haven't been keeping an eye on the situation. Those assholes aren't going to leave American mainland unless they get imprisoned at GITMO.

[robbedvoter]

24. Best case scenario:

Link to tweet

?s=21

[davekriss]

25. I'd be happy with that. Just leave, DT!

[LuckyCharms]

28. He'll seek exile in St. Fuckfaceburg. Either there, or Costa RICO.

[lindysalsagal]

29. I've said it all along.

Dumbest thing he ever did, running for potus.

[localroger]

37. Winning the election was the biggest fuckup of his life

He wasn't supposed to win, just grift the fundraising while pushing his brand. You can see in the Trump family members' shocked expressions on election night that they had no idea what to do next.

[bluestarone]

38. You're right! He got 4 years of heaven on earth, and hopefully traded it for

HELL ON EARTH the rest of his FN life!!

[ooky]

30. That's what I've been expecting to happen.

Makes the most sense.

[Bayard]

36. But how would he run for office again in 2024?

[lame54]

41. All other countries - "Thanks for the warning."
