“Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution”
Down by double digits with just seventeen days to election day, and facing prison for various criminal charges if he loses, Donald Trump is now openly talking about leaving the country if he loses the election. He tried to frame this as being due to embarrassment. But if Trump did leave, we all know he’d be doing it to avoid prosecution.
Former FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi summed it up best when he responded to the news by simply tweeting this: “Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution – Title 18 US Code 1073”:

What’s remarkable is just how obvious and transparent Donald Trump’s remark about leaving the country is. Immediately after he made the remark, the terms “Moscow” and “Russia” began trending on Twitter, because that’s his most logical destination, considering he’s already owned by Vladimir Putin anyway.
