I’ve been saying this for years. He should wrap up the whole family and flee to Brazil. They could live fabulous lives beyond the reach of law enforcement because there’s no extradition treaty.

What’s going to do him in is his belief that he can get away with everything, as he’s gotten away with everything for decades. But Jack Smith can’t be intimidated, bribed or pressured; HE’S the 800 pound gorilla now, not Cheetoh Jesus. But my concern is that he’ll be sentenced to house arrest, not prison. What I’d prefer is the Mussolini treatment: Hang him by his feet and beat him to death. I’d SETTLE for a lengthy prison sentence but I don’t think the Justice Department is ready to put him in prison. And that worries me.

Actually, house arrest and no media connection might be more punishing for him than death.

Yes it would. Keep him confined, keep his mouth shut. That would be prison for him.

My feeling is that if I’D be sent to prison for doing the same thing,.why should HE get a pass?I get that house arrest would be some existential punishment but anyone else would be jailed for espionage so why not him? House arrest still allows for a luxurious confinement.

If OBAMA had done this, would HE get house arrest? OF COURSE NOT.

If he’s not allowed to leave, he wouldn’t need Secret Service protection, would he?
