I also think that he has socked money away som ewhere where the US can't get it, he will resign about Jan 15 get Pence to pardon him and slink off to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US

would turn any prison sentence into a death sentence. So best conceivable outcome is home confinement. But even that is close to pure fantasy.

Now, a big fine, or a big back tax bill, yeah. That's plausible. But behind bars? No.

A hemorrhagic stroke predicated on the last two years of TIAs making any real court cases resulting from his malicious incompetence moot.

Again, just a guess.

I want to watch him face the all the social, financial, and legal consequences of his vindictive bumbling.

I want him to go down fighting just like his degenerate mentor, Roy Cohn, grappling with his demons in full view of the entire planet when even the kindest person on earth can at best muster little more than a weak "bless his heart..."

A cartoonish King Lear, stenographers dictating his verbal drool as he slides into the warm embrace of total madness as a warning for future generations.



But my guess is he doesn't survive 2021.

You can count on at least one MAGA in the jury who will refuse to convict
