Trump is Terrified about Going to Prison after Losing the
Election
We must believe our own eyes, and they are showing us that our
president is a traitor to the fundamental principles of American
democracy and may even be a traitor to the country. He has
facilitated an ongoing attack on our republic, most recently by
doing nothing in response to the horrifying scheme by Russia to
have American soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
There is a principle in science that when confronted with
compelling facts, the simplest explanation is probably the correct
one. In the law there is a similar doctrine: “The thing speaks for
itself.” We must admit that the simplest explanation for Trump’s
conduct is the correct one.
Trump’s actions speak for themselves: He could be one of the
greatest traitors in the history of our country.

unanswered question of our time: Is Trump an agent of Russia?
an agent of Russia? … pungent texts disparaging Trump, who in turn
accused him of treason.
In September 2019, Donald Trump’s lawyers debuted a bold
new legal argument. Attempting to quash a subpoena from the
Manhattan District Attorney’s office, which had requested eight
years of tax returns to determine if the Trump Organization has
falsified business records relating to payouts made to a porn star
and a Playboy model, the president’s attorneys insisted that such a
request was unconstitutional because the founding fathers believed
sitting presidents should not be subject to the criminal process,
which would “distract the president” from his duties. Pressed by a
judge on this argument, and the hypothetical Trump busted out
during the 2016 election—that he could “stand in the middle of
Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” and not “lose any voters”—attorney
William Consovoy insisted that yes, that kind of thing would fall
under this concept of “presidential immunity,” i.e. Trump could put
a bullet in a random pedestrian and avoid prosecution until moving
out of the White House.
Unsurprisingly, actual legal experts weren’t convinced of this
argument and neither was the Supreme Court, which ruled last July,
in the words of Reuters, “that there are limits to the powers of
the presidency and stoutly reaffirmed the principle that not even
the president is above the law.” Still, Trump’s lackeys, which
include the Attorney General of the United States, have done their
part to shield him from situations wherein he could be convicted of
a variety of crimes, getting him through almost an entire term
without an embarrassing situation wherein a sitting president is,
say, found guilty of falsifying business records regarding a hush
money payment he made to an adult-film star.
Unfortunately for Trump, if he loses the 2020 election, he’ll no
longer be able to use the staff of the Justice Department as his
personal lawyers. That’s a worrisome thing for a guy who’s
potentially committed numerous crimes, and we know this because
Trump is reportedly soiling himself in fear over what he might be
prosecuted for, and maybe go to jail over, after he leaves office.
Per the New York Times:
Seldom far from Mr. Trump’s thoughts, however, is the
possibility of defeat—and the potential consequences of being
ejected from the White House. In unguarded moments, Mr. Trump has
for weeks told advisers that he expects to face intensifying
scrutiny from prosecutors if he loses. He is concerned not only
about existing investigations in New York, but the potential for
new federal probes as well, according to people who have spoken
with him.

As The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer wrote in an article published
over the weekend, the world awaiting Trump when and if he loses the
election is a dark one, and not just because he’ll no longer have a
taxpayer-funded staff at his disposal to lie for him:
Given that more than a dozen investigations and civil
suits involving Trump are currently under way, he could be looking
at an endgame even more perilous than the one confronted by Nixon.
The Presidential historian Michael Beschloss said of Trump, “If he
loses, you have a situation that’s not dissimilar to that of Nixon
when he resigned. Nixon spoke of the cell door clanging shut.”
Trump has famously survived one impeachment, two divorces, six
bankruptcies, twenty-six accusations of sexual misconduct, and an
estimated four thousand lawsuits. Few people have evaded
consequences more cunningly. That run of good luck may well end,
perhaps brutally, if he loses to Joe Biden. Even if Trump wins,
grave legal and financial threats will loom over his second
term.
Two of the investigations into Trump are being led by powerful
state and city law-enforcement officials in New York. Cyrus Vance,
Jr., the Manhattan District Attorney, and Letitia James, New York’s
attorney general, are independently pursuing potential criminal
charges related to Trump’s business practices before he became
President. Because their jurisdictions lie outside the federal
realm, any indictments or convictions resulting from their actions
would be beyond the reach of a Presidential pardon. Trump’s legal
expenses alone are likely to be daunting.
(By the time Bill Clinton left the White House, he’d
racked up more than ten million dollars in legal fees.) And Trump’s
finances are already under growing strain. During the next four
years, according to a stunning recent Times report, Trump—whether
reëlected or not—must meet payment deadlines for more than three
hundred million dollars in loans that he has personally guaranteed;
much of this debt is owed to such foreign creditors as Deutsche
Bank. Unless he can refinance with the lenders, he will be on the
hook.

How long has Trump known about Russia putting bounties on
American soldiers? Has he given a discernible response? Or will his
“pattern of submissive behavior” toward Vladimir Putin continue
when American soldiers are killed by militants paid by Russia?
Americans have to face the horrifying possibility that our
leader is being blackmailed by Russia. Every interaction Trump has
with Putin is shaded by the Helsinki tableau: the smug, grinning
Putin, and a shaken Trump.
The only factor possibly holding back Putin from displaying
outright dominance at this point is the impending U.S. election. It
is not too excessive to say that the balance of international power
will be tipped by the results of our election.why
