Much as with Jack Texeireia, she was someone who nobody would recognize and who had little to lose if she ran. And the government regarded her as flight risk. Not only the district court, but the court of appeals agreed.

Not equivalent to Trump, who is one of the most widely recognizable persons on the planet, has a lot to lose if he took off, has secret service observing his movements, and was not regarded as a flight risk by the government.

And winter was charged, rightly or wrongly, not only with removing classified information but also with disseminating it, while Trump, as yet, has only been charged with retention, not dissemination, of classified information.

Not every situation is the same as every other situation.

That I know of.

Would the President order it shot down?

And Jack Smith apparently doesn't think Trump's a flight risk.

But what does he know. (sarcasm)

Trouble is: criminals don't generally file fight plans for the getaway.

Methinks a submarine.

But the grift is better here. While it lasts. Even in prison, he'll get lots of cash (in the form of cigarette cartons?).

Winner printed the (one) document – labeled “TOP SECRET” – that explained how Russian military intelligence officials hacked at least one supplier of voting software and tried to break into more than 100 local election systems before the polls closed in 2016.

See, she spilled the beans on the crooks' game. The orange clown-turd and his AG Jeff Sessions knew how fucking serious that was and locked her right up! Bam!
