Astonishing.
Hinderaker thinks Trump would just “have to stay out of New York for a while” — but could get back to the campaign trail.
It is (objectively) hard to believe John ever passed the bar, now. Here’s that Hinderaker junk:
…I think that he would be legally and constitutionally justified in refusing to cooperate. He could ignore Merchan’s partisan orders and decline to have anything to do with the proceeding. He could get back on the campaign trail, where he belongs. On [sic s/b “In”] this scenario, Trump presumably would be convicted in absentia, which would mean that he couldn’t enter New York State for a while. But he is going to be convicted anyway, in all probability…
A very public felon — by then, holding rallies… can be arrested by federal or state authorities, for fleeing. So Trump could not cross into any blue state; or any battleground state — since any cop in any of these states could arrest him as he left the stage, and hold him for extradition to New York.
Jail is not an easy place to campaign from.
And perhaps all Hinderaker really thinks… is he’d do better to get a few weeks of campaigning in, before he’s convicted, and ordered not to leave the state, at a minimum — while his appeals run their course. [But fleeing means it’s a near certainty he’d be jailed in New York during the appeals. Wow.]
To be clear, the truth is Trump will be convicted on a mountain of documentary evidence (not politics). And John knows it.
It may be that John WANTS him in jail, and before Milwaukee, so that an alternate may be shoved forward.
That — at least — makes what John wrote… make sense. It’s a dumb argument, but Trump is dumb enough to believe he could successfully… flee. And… I love it!
Amazing! And… disgusting, all in one.
Out.
