Is Trump now an even bigger threat to this country than before?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-tru...

Given his mounting legal problems, the massive drop off in income and the possibility of incarceration, is our Former President a flight risk? And if he should run out to one of our adversaries with his knowledge of top secret military and industrial capabilities, he could sell our most crucial top secrets to pay his debts and settle most of his problems and then live comfortably in a nation with no extradition treaties to the USA.

It would be nice if he were put on an international no flight list to keep him here. Let him roam the States, but make sure he is available to be dragged into court where as a citizen he will have to answer a subpoena.

    Your theory is actually quite insightful, top advisors to President Biden have recommended to not share intelligence briefings with the former president. It is a tradition that when a new president takes over, they keep the former in the loop so that he/she can offer guidance. In this case, the recommendation is not do so. They were a little more tactful than you are; saying that he may just get blackmailed or may share information without realizing the seriousness of the content. [He has done that sort of thing in the past.]

    You don't really believe they ever let him see anything that sensitive do you?

    They would have been feeding him disinformation for his whole term in case he passed it on to his masters in Moscow.

    With anyone else in the same circumstances, you'd be right.

    But luckily, Trump never paid attention to his security briefings, and therefore doesn't actually HAVE "knowledge of top secret" anything.

    House arrest in NYC seems appropriate

    I can't say that I know, but I doubt Trump has a lot of good information for our enemies, should he decide to defect. All the way back at the beginning of Trump's term, he gave away some secret information, presumably by accident. Since then, I suspect that any information he was allowed to have has been as limited as possible. Additionally, if they were smart, they also planted some bad information with Trump.

    While the Russians (or whoever) might realize this was bad info, the fact that Trump had it would clue the Russians (or whoever) that ALL of the info he had could be bad, so they wouldn't be able to trust anything he told them. That meant that it would all need to be verified, essentially rendering it useless. I'm hoping that's what happened.

    Millions are more concerned with what will happen to their tax rate, and individual Liberties as well as being unofficially, officially canceled in the near future. The realists among us that is.

    Being put on the no-fly list is a restriction of liberty which requires due process to be served. They might be able to do that once they charge him with something.

    Personally I think his incitement of the riot that killed five people makes him guilty of murder under the Felony Murder rule.
