Taking bets: when Trump ends up residing in Russia or in Israel: protection from criminal & civil exposure

[post]

Do you really expect Trump will just stay in the U.S., "absorbing," indictments, criminal convictions, and civil judgments?

As Amit Mehta lays out in his opinion rejecting Trump's motion to dismiss three lawsuits against him for his role on January 6, Trump did more than just incite violence. After riling up his supporters, he told them to make an unpermitted march to the Capitol.

Yup. I will deal with that and the Alex Jones reference separately. It’s what my nod to Mehta’s knowledge of non-public information was about.

Trump will end up in jail one day after Joe and Hunter.

Let's come up with more and more ridiculous Trump-like memes so we don't have to spend time worrying about how Putin will de-stabilize Eastern Europe.
That is so much easier than tackling serious issues like immigration, drug overdoes deaths, corrupt politicians, incompetent presidents, etc.

Good luck with your sophomoric denial. Judge Mehta's ruling on the civil suits considers information that the DOJ has not publicly disclosed.

Judge Mehta's Ruling that Donald Trump May Have Aided and Abetted Assaults on Cops Is More Important Than His Conspiracy Decision - emptywheel

Judge Amit Mehta's ruling that it is plausible that Donald Trump abetted assaults on cops at the Capitol might put Trump on the hook for violent attacks perpetrated by veterans and an attempt to hunt down Nancy Pelosi.

".....This part of Mehta’s ruling is far more important than the conspiracy side. To understand why, consider some of the cases over which Judge Mehta is presiding.

THE OATH KEEPERS​

"As I’ve noted repeatedly, Mehta is also presiding over the Oath Keepers, who all entered the East door and therefore would be among those kitted out people who violently pushed past Sidney Hemby. A few of the Oath Keepers are individually accused of assault. For example, video shows veteran Joshua James fighting with a cop in the Rotunda, screaming, “Get out! … This is my ****ing Capitol!”

But members of the Stack who pushed past Hemby as he was protecting that door are suspected of far more serious plans for assault. As Mehta noted in ruling for the pre-trial detention of Stewart Rhodes on Friday — the same day he issued this ruling — once the Stack broke into the Capitol, they split up, with part of the group trying to make it to the Senate and the other part going to Nancy Pelosi’s office.
The latter is of particular concern because, on Election Day, Kelly Meggs told his wife and kid he was “gonna go on a killing spree … Pelosi first.”
Judge Mehta has good reason to suspect (and likely knows far more about how serious this plot was) that the Oath Keepers, after busting into the Capitol past Hemby, took steps to hunt down Nancy Pelosi, and possibly someone in the Senate, like Pence.

When Judge Mehta says he thinks it is plausible that Donald Trump abetted assaults and threatened assaults at the Capitol, he’s not speaking abstractly. Judge Mehta has a very specific understanding of the kinds of assaults that happened that day. Those were violent attacks on cops — several allegedly committed by military veterans and one by a retired NYPD cop. Those include a gratuitous attack on the media. It includes an attempt to hunt down the Speaker of the House. With this ruling, Trump may be on the hook for such assaults civilly. But given that the judge presiding over some spectacularly assaults that day has judge that Trump’s actions may rise to an aid and abet standard, it may make DOJ more seriously consider Trump’s exposure for such acts criminally..."
