Trump should be DENIED bail on Tuesday at his arraignment. He is not only a flight risk but as long as he is free he is a threat to our nation.

@DeanObeidallah

It's already "Oh, you come in when you want to and we'll sit around and wait for you... whatever is most convenient for you... " like it was in NY.

If ANYONE, ANYONE had been found to have 100s of classified, Top Secret, Above Top Secret & compartmentalized secret documents in their possession they would have been instantly arrested and charged.

I understand they needed get things lined up for charging a former president but I expect the special treatment to continue

@kbsez @DeanObeidallah I agree. And it would have been incredibly satisfying to see Federal marshals breaking down his door, but then there would have potentially bee a shootout between the marshals and the Secret Service.

Speaking of which, his Service detail should be replaced with Marshals. Why? The marshals will be accountable to *us*, not hand-picked by Trump.

@kbsez @DeanObeidallah Ask Reality Winner how fast the wheels of justice rolled over her.

@bouriquet @DeanObeidallah

How fast was she arrested? How fast did they have her trial and how fast did she go to prison for ONE PAGE.

It’s bullshit.

@kbsez @DeanObeidallah Arrested June 3, 2017 after leaking a document dated May 5, 2017, twice denied bail, on August 23, 2018, Winner was convicted and sentenced to five years and three months in prison as part of a plea deal.
Given the number and severity of the charges against Trump and the fact that he’d probably never agree to a plea deal, he could go to prison for the rest of his life if found guilty.

@DeanObeidallah I believe they will take away his passport unless they're bending all the rules of felon processing

He should be put in a holding cell first, like everyone else would be, so he can get a taste of what's to come and be more miserable as the trial proceeds

@DeanObeidallah Although it would be appropriate and common for him to refused bail for a crime of this severity, he will get bail due to who he is. It's a joke to say that we are all equal under the law.

I would be thrilled if he was given a shared cell in Rikers Island (I'm sure NY would cooperate) but he will be allowed to travel the country to campaign for the presidency and spew lies as is his MO.

@DeanObeidallah if he is denied bail and jailed, will his Secret Service detail be there with him?
@DeanObeidallah That is about the very last thing Loose Cannon will do. Let’s just hope she doesn’t dismiss the case.
@DeanObeidallah BUT...think about it this way.... Think of all the money he'd con out of his followers to pay that bail, which they then would no longer be able to use to help the GOP.
@DeanObeidallah
Trump is not a flight risk. Trump is certain he will get away with everything. I'm not certain that he's wrong.
@DeanObeidallah Counterpoint: let him run away! If Trump leaves the US and never comes back I'll take that as a win.
@DeanObeidallah
According to Drs. Mary Trump and Bandy X. Lee, #Donald meets the criteria for involuntary confinement to a psychiatric center.
@DeanObeidallah I also wonder if there are more classified documents yet disclosed that he could destroy (or worse) if he is free.
@DeanObeidallah Agree & same treatment for fellow traitor Jack Texiera (sp?!) who has not been golfing 14+ days straight & stuffing his face at an omelette bar….
@DeanObeidallah So question here: if the documents are secret, Trump’s read them, and Trump has shown he’s at minimum very free with the information in the documents, doesn’t that make Trump a walking security risk? Does that mean they almost *have*to arrest him to address the security issues?
@DeanObeidallah And yet, given the judge, I'm betting on "released on his own recognizance"
@DeanObeidallah Trump will have to surrender his passport. I hope judge bans him from talking about the case, because he will and force judge to respond. Trump likes to push people's button to provoke reactions. Then judge can throw his ass in jail.
@DeanObeidallah I'm honestly surprised he's still in the country, although I probably shouldn't be, given his hubris. I bet he believes this will also blow over. The terrible thing is, he might be right about that.
@DeanObeidallah I expect Trump will get bail, but I'd love to see him be forced to surrender his passport(s) and not leave the country. No more trips to Scotland, or Russia for that matter.
@DeanObeidallah
that would cause a huge outcry. Just set it at $500M, cash, forfeit if found guilty.
