Letter: Trump is a flight risk

Many in the justice community and elsewhere are concerned by the likelihood that soon Donald Trump and his family will try to flee the U.S. to avoid prosecution, fines, and/or imprisonment. Lord knows, the years-long laundry list of criminal actions puts them in great legal jeopardy.
In addition, the Trumps have lots of wealth and property stashed overseas and many powerful authoritarian pals who might take them in to protect them from extradition.
We should not be surprised to see the Trumps try to sneak out of the country before the ax falls. Like Jeffrey Epstein, they are flight risks.
Recently Scotland has instructed Trump not to come to Scotland on Jan. 20 to avoid the Biden inauguration. Ostensibly because of COVID travel restrictions. Yeah, thats it. Because of COVID.

He would hate it anywhere outside the U.S. He NEEDS to be close to his Cult Members.
He'll just hire lawyers to drag everything out for 10-20 years, and by then, he'll be dead.
