    I am not sure about that part…

      He constantly has a secret service detail. He isn’t a flight risk because he can’t even try without being noticed.

      I suppose he could run into his private jet and take off before they catch him, but I just can’t see the man running very far or fast

        Does the SS have any reason to control him? I thought they just followed him around like puppies.

      I mean while he could physically fly away very easily it’s unlikely he would risk losing access to his properties and accounts in the US.

      Remember, this is the same judge that he had before. She’s covered for him once, this is her doing it again.

        The Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman was the one in charge of the arraignment today. Yes, Judge Cannon is in charge of the case, but it was widely reported that Judge Goodman was in charge of the arraignment today.

        Please don’t spread falsehoods and misinformation because it is unhelpful. Thank you.

      They’re gonna start considering him a flight risk right after he has already absconded with the remaining documents to Saudi Arabia or Russia.

      How is him fleeing forever to a foreign country not a win for everyone?
