that doesn't have extradition treaties with our country. However, I think his worth would be less to those members of TCO and he might just accidentally fall off a 20 story building or somehow a window just opens up and out he goes?

Even Russia wouldn't be a safe haven if he's no longer POTUS. You thing Vlad would put up with his big mouth when it would be the work of a moment to shut it permanently?

...in exchange for his resignation, well maybe. Probably the only person with the stature to actually make that happen was Mueller and that ship has sailed. Also, there's unfinished business with Vlad and who knows how that would end up?

It would have to be for him and his family. But if that's not possible he will have to try to get reelected.

so I think he will quit before being impeached. Some day he may be the one who has to flip to stay free. Once he leaves office he will be just another set of loose lips.

Once the bump has lost his usefulness he'll need to get permanently quieted.

The Senate can remove him from office and that may be the loophole to take it away.

but no one ever gave him the world’s most powerful army, navy, air force, and an entire nuclear arsenal before. Now, he doesn’t have to follow any rules.
