(382 posts)I can imagine a scenario where, in the spirit of peaceful transition, he works out a deal to step down when he loses the election, with a plane ready to immediately deliver him and his criminal family to the country of his choice that does not have an extradition agreement with the US, like Dubai. This way, he'd be safely out of reach for any criminal apprehension that would otherwise occur the moment he stepped out of the White House. Sadly, just to get rid of him and MAYBE avoid a full-scale civil war, we'd probably also have to agree to let him have all his ill-gotten money too so he could continue to live out his fantasy of being the faux king he always wanted to be. And God forbid a Pence presidential pardon for him and his family would be part of this deal.
I think something like this is the best we can hope for. Especially if there were a possibility that Putin would be relentless in hunting him and his family down with some Polonium tea or a fake heart attack as punishment for failing to get Putin's sanctions lifted and his gazillions returned to him and his oligarchs. A tortured life for his whole criminal family of always having to look over their shoulders in terror for Putin assassins, might be more satisfying to us than prison anyway.
This is my personal fantasy anyway!
