1. Hey Rooooo-deee! Did you get disbarred yet?

2. Awesome!

3. Yep writing on the wall!!

Plus i'm waiting for the sexual lawsuit, where he has to provide his DNA!!

4. If he moved to FL, wouldn't they need to extradite him to NY?

8. Article IV, Section 2 ...

https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articleiv

The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.

A person charged in any state with treason, felony, or other crime, who shall flee from justice, and be found in another state, shall on demand of the executive authority of the state from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime.

11. No extradition

The crimes were done in NY, and he needn't be there in person.
Personal bail isn't needed for tax violations.
Plus,
NY has access to NY based assets, if they need a deposit on a fine.

NewYork Post headline?
"Trump Tower Siezed. Rent Control Apts?"

6. Stand back and stand by!

7. is that why he was relaxing on his golf course today?

they've been closing in for four years. What I really want to know is, why they didn't come down on him all the years prior to his 2015 campaign. oh. wait. I remember now. too many reasons to count. too many ways to grift in NY and too many years of laundering dirty money. hmm. so has anything really changed? I guess we'll see. I'll believe they're closing in when we see him perped walked and shackled. Or something close enough.

13. Here's Why...

"Former law enforcement officials say Trump had a close and curious relationship with the New York division of the FBI. Former FBI Special Agent Mark Rossini tells Newsweek that Trump was frequently seen in the bureau's New York offices and may have been a "hip-pocket source" for James Kallstrom, a wiretapping expert who supervised Mafia investigations in New York, and Rudy Giuliani, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan who would later become mayor of New York and, eventually, Trump's personal lawyer amid the "Russiagate" probe. (Kallstrom denied that Trump was a source. Giuliani did not respond to a request for comment.) Rossini wonders whether Trump's cultivation of FBI agents protected him in the Mafia probes. "All the construction unions were mobbed up" in the 1980s, Rossini noted. "How did he deal with the mob all these years and never appear before a grand jury?" Fuller also thinks "Trump was an informant for somebody in the FBI New York office."

15. ohhhh. Trump was a Rat Snitching MF'r. as the mob likes to say.

That never crossed my mind. I figured he just kept them on a payroll. Like mobsters notriously did with Judges and Law enforcers.

Man I'd love to see this blown wide friggin open. But it makes sense now.

[triron]

9. We need some indictments, damn it.

[Mr. Ected]

10. Trump is a pariah and the rats have jumped ship

He will end up being represented by Lin Wood wannabes and will quickly discover that bullshit in court without the protection of the presidency is going to end up costing him his "fortune" and his freedom.

He'll cry political persecution, but the informed will see it for what it is: justice.

[NCjack]

12. With Trump, frequently what you see isn't what you get. Could

this be a stalling tactic?

"Judge, I need to get replacement lawyers, and they will need time to review my defense. Probably, about 20 years, considering the large amount of my wealth and debt, and entanglements."

[Buckeyeblue]

14. If he would admit guilt I'm sure they would work out a lenient sentence

But he'll never admit guilt. So it will be a long process full of delays and appeals. He'll never admit any guilt.

But he'll also never do jail time. I think the public humiliation will be enough.

[Brother Mythos]

16. I can't help but wonder if Trump's tax lawyers quit because ...

they haven't been paid in a while, and don't expect to ever be paid.
