Trump the Flight Risk Thread
As long as Trump thinks he has ANY chance of remaining President, he will not flee the country. In that way, the past 2 months have been a kind of hidden blessing, as Trump pursued his delusions of reversing the election.
I think Wednesday ends that

I think on Wednesday this delusion ends & when Trump 'knows' he will no longer be President after 20 January, he will try to prevent the criminal prosecutions that are slated to follow. And part of that is a pardon of himself (& his kids)

We KNOW Trump has been plotting an escape because he even spoke about it late in election at some of his rallies (that he'd like to take an SUV and drive away - what an upbeat 'winning election' message haha, let me drive away!).

The logical final destination would seem to be Russia. Manafort's previous despot dictator-kleptocrat client, Yanukovich (another Putin stooge) of Ukraine, fled to Russia where he lives in exile today
But Putin isn't pleased with Trump

Probably all close Trumpomobsters had planned 'retirement' in Moscow. And have become frustrated at how clearly Trump caused Putin to abandon Trump (obvious by summer of 2020). So now need other plans: Turkey? Saudi Arabia? UAE?

If abroad with asylum, any Trumpomobster will be tried 'in absentia' and convicted. Their assets seized (whatever may remain on US soil like Trump properties) and extradition will be pursued via local courts.

And of course their passports will be revoked. So no travel out from the country they selected for asylum (for the rest of their lives). That country's dictator may not SURVIVE and a future regime may send the fugitives back to USA for justice

So Trump has to plan carefully. He needs to have ample funds abroad to cover his costs. And he is broke..
His minions are all in limbo. Most def Trump is a flight risk. Even more so his kids & close Trumpomobsters (Barr, Mnuchin, Pompeo, etc)
