Please, stop with the "The tough decision..." commentary!

25. The best thing would be for Trump to flee the country.

I can see lots of reasons for politicians and the DOJ and the Judiciary wanting Trump to leave. Some of his minions might be convinced finally and the ones who keep screaming for him to come back will have marked themselves out as potential subversives.

More importantly at a jury trial there is a non-trivial chance that a Trumpist would be on the jury. We've seen that movement conservatives won't vote to convict their idols if they've decided that the law being broken shouldn't be a law. Remember the Malheur occupations and trials, the prosecution didn't get convictions for crimes the defendants bragged about on national television.

It's not a tough decision, its a question of how do you get a narcissistic sociopath to do something decent.
