He won't get a perp walk.

I doubt that he will be handcuffed. Last thing LEO and SecService want is a situation that is inflammatory. I predict he will be quietly delivered and quietly walked into a back door or service entrance. Of course after his arraignment, there's nothing to prevent him from standing on the front steps bloviating, ranting and raving. Ugh ugh double ugh.

... tell him plans and timeline for taking him to the court, so he tweets that, but the truth about the plans and timeline for taking him to the court will be different.

3. Good. He wants to play the victim and he'd milk it for all it's worth.

As entertaining as it might be to see him bundled into a courthouse in handcuffs with his jacket over his head, the less he's seen for the time being, the better. He'll have plenty of opportunities to bloviate about the Deep State and George Soros and all the rest of the bullshit on his own dime; the government shouldn't offer one to him too.

Came in secretly, mug shot looked like his official house portrait, arraigned and out before anyone knew he was there.

Actually, there is. His secret service detail almost certainly won't let him stand, fully exposed, on the street.

white guy, no perp walk for him, although he deserves it. I wish they would just stop talking about him.
