(33,538 posts)...someone other than Pence in the White House.
Realistically, if he's arrested, his legal team will work their asses off to delay a trial, but should he live long enough, a trial certainly may take place.
It is dissatisfying when great criminals die before they are tried and convicted.

Not saying that I would in any way enable anyone to do this.

(21,851 posts)Story: Trump's plane is forced to land in a NATO country. Inspection shows bags stuffed with cash, jewelry, and bullion. A paper shredder is hot from all the documents Trump and his family have been shredding.
Trump is held while arrangements are made to fly him and his family back to US for prosecution.

(9,127 posts)The former President said that he had a vision from God, renounced politics and materialism, and will retire to a monastery to seek the will of God through prayer and quiet meditation.
Before submitting his letter of resignation, he has asked Attorney General William Barr to resign, and, together with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, will appoint a bi-partisan acting Attoney General to restore honor and accountability to the Federal government.
(Hey, we can hope for something like this, even if its extremely unlikely)

(66,436 posts)One can also obtain a conviction on a technicality.
Once, about twenty-five years ago, I served on a jury for a man accused of drug possession and trafficking. One of the charges was possession of a legend drug without a prescription. I lost track of how many times the defense attorney told the jury that the burden of proof was on the prosecution. But, during deliberations, I told my fellow jurors that the accused even being charged with possession of a legend drug was proof enough for conviction.
I told them that, if I were a defense attorney with a client who was charged with possession of a legend drug without a prescription, even though the burden of proof is on the prosecution, the first thing I would do would be to call a doctor and find out if my client had a prescription. If he did, that would get the charge thrown out.
The very fact that the charge was on the sheet is proof of guilt.
We voted to convict the defendant.
