Faced with certain criminal charges after losing the election, would Trump pull an "Epstein"?

[CTyankee]

I wonder. If he resigns and Pence pardons him he would still face NY charges. I wonder if he would have the guts to do so...

[In_The_Wind]

1. It's unlikely that he would do that.

[LonePirate]

2. If anything, he will flee to Russia or the Middle East.

[abqtommy]

7. That's what I'm thinking too.

[ooky]

23. I also expect the coward to run, worried that New York is ready to arrest him

I expect him to slip out of the country some days before inauguration.

[rurallib]

3. I don't think Epstein pulled an Epstein

I think Epstein must have had some help from a Trump or a Barr or a Putin.
My guess is that if Trump asked Putin nicely, Putin would help.

21. It's odd how he's dead the morning after Richardson's and Mitchell's name was linked to him

More politicians likely feared they were next, Trump included.

[Hoyt]

4. I doubt it. He'll never do a day in jail, although he might be hassled

for a long time. He deserves much worse, but highly unlikely a jury would convict him.

[CTyankee]

6. I'm not so sure. I guess it depends where he stands trial...

I know it's a very long shot but I do have my fantasies...

[wasupaloopa]

5. He'll move to Russia

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Stop doing this.

I'm tired of my hopes being dashed every time the possibility arises.

[Wounded Bear]

9. More likely his rich cronies would "Epstein" him...

[Hekate]

10. Heavens no. He's much too demented, and he's never been self-aware. Tantrums, for sure--

...but that will happen regardless of where he is domiciled.

My husband is convinced Trump will use an insanity plea if he goes to court. I say his ego would never allow that.

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. I'm with you.

That severely sick ego of his would never allow for even the idea of him being less than perfect.
Ego must be protected at all costs.
If he can he will get someone to intercede and make a deal for him, that is his history.

I find it fascinating that he has been able to find so many people to do that, in his long and checkered history/

11. He'd never ever kill himself. But he'd spend his last cent and throw his last friend .....

and child under the bus to avoid jail. In the end he'll just end up another Bernie Madoff crying innocence to anyone who'll listen.

[yonder]

12. "throw his last friend ....."

I'd venture he has no friends.

[marble falls]

19. I guess Eric is next.

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Apparently he threw one of his oldest friends under the bus today

His Inaugural Comm. spending is being investigated, and his long time, dear, friend, Tom Barrack was the head of the committee.
Now Trump is saying he is "shocked, shocked I tell you" there were shenanigans going on, tho of course HE had nothing to do with it.

[BigDemVoter]

13. I certainly wouldn't object if he did. . . .

Although I would much prefer to see that orange motherfucker suffer in jail.

[tinrobot]

16. Nah. He's too much of a chicken. He'd blame dementia or something to skip charges.

[spanone]

17. He loves himself waaaaay too much

[ladjf]

18. No way, nt

[Polybius]

20. Did Epstein even pull an Epstein?

That the million dollar question.

[former9thward]

22. He is not going to face criminal charges after leaving office.

Federal or NY. It is a fantasy.

[Initech]

24. With his weight, a coronary is more likely to get him than an assassin would.
