(Apologies for yet another Trump post.)

But given his court appearance Thursday, just funny how he’d start joking about this. I wonder if he actually would, and what would follow. I mean, how would he try to spin it?

Is the Secret Service actually empowered to stop a former official (not in office) from doing anything? It’s my understanding former office holders can waive SS protection, so I would presume compliance with SS recommendations or orders is purely optional. Of course there’s nothing stopping SS from phoning Jack Smith to let them know Trump just boarded a plane to Moscow…

If his freedom is on the line he would flee. As for properties, he doesn’t need to sell them immediately or I don’t think he even need to sell them. It’s not like he is alone with it.

The Secret Service was caught treading water for him in some crimes.

Putin would promise Trump limitless wealth, a fresh new wife, and oligarch status for residence in Moscow. Trump would enjoy this status until he was no longer of use to Putin.

He also has SS protection which prevents him from fleeing.

Really? The same Secret Service that was told the Inspector General wanted to review all their messages around January 6, and then all the Secret Service messages for a two-day period surrounding January 6 were mysteriously deleted?

The same Secret Service that made Mike Pence sound like a Criminal Minds victim when he said: "I’m not getting in the car, Tim,” Pence said. “I trust you, Tim, but you’re not driving the car. If I get in that vehicle, you guys are taking off. I’m not getting in the car.”

That Secret Service?
