Can someone here confirm this for me? [View all]

Some friends and I were talking about what Donnie would do when even he came to grips with the fact he lost, and if he would come to the Inauguration. We were all a solid "no", but I mentioned that he couldn't hang around long enough for Biden's inauguration because at 12:01, he's a regular old citizen again and doesn't have the protection of the presidency against all the legal charges waiting for him. My theory was that he sneaks out in the middle of the night sometime in January into Vlad's waiting arms.

But then a friend said that he can't leave the country. As an ex-President, he KNOWS too much. He's been given classified information, and even though he's an idiot and probably didn't retain any of it, he still received it. Plus he has Secret Service protection for the rest of his (useless) life, so there's no way he can sneak out of the country.

I would LOVE to believe that he has no way of avoiding what the Southern District of New York has in store for him and his useless crime family. I know somebody here can answer this definitively.
