Or legalese ones, if you are a legal beagle.

I don't think he will ever face federal charges, and if he announces a 2024 Presidential Run, anyone going after a former President in "the middle" of another Presidential run better be damn sure of their evidence, because it will be dressed up as attacking democracy.

(257 posts)I saw James interviewed last weekend on MSNBC and she said any charges from her office would be civil in nature and that Vance would have to seek criminal charges.

(639 posts)Just after Biden takes oath from Justice Roberts,
someone sitting behind Trump taps him on the shoulder and hands him a couple of envelopes.
Whispers, " You've been served."
or
US Marshalls are waiting for him on Air Force One, for his final ride to NY or FL.
or
Skywriting over the Inagural the entire indictment?

(1,910 posts)I would bet every single staffer for both Vance and James are seething and growing angrier day by day. They must be looking under every rock going back to each crime's statute of limitation. Trump, Jr, Eric, Ivanka, Kushner.....no way several of them have not committed indictable offenses in NY.

(16,886 posts)On the one hand - I completely agree with you and think he will leave soon for Mar a Lago for Thanksgiving and just stay there and never leave.
But on the other hand, I think he is determined to not lose the office of the Presidency and he is going to stay put and refuse to leave the White House and Oval Office.
We shall see which it is...
