Scamming. Why should he pay for anything?
I noticed that, too, but I’m not sure it means no perp walk. Remember that Steve Bannon walked into a courthouse uncuffed for his indictment – but he left the proceeding afterward in cuffs.
I also expect that if Trump is voluntarily surrendering on charges, that would have been part of the deal: No cuffs.
Search of his DC properties?
Excellent speculation. He might have wanted to be present for that.
But it wouldn’t explain the government jet. If DOJ has a warrant to search, they might give him a courtesy call to let him know the search was shortly underway, but I don’t think they’d send a jet to bring him there.
I saw a good theory: colonoscopy for missing documents
Nah. They’d time it so he was not there, and proceed accordingly. Anyway, it’s more likely that additional missing documents are at his New York Residence, or at Bedminster in NJ.
I"m going to fantasize that a Saudi Arabian national has provided proof that Trump sold nuclear secrets to a foreign nation.
Even with that I expect it wouldn’t have been done so urgently, where he wasn’t even able to change his clothes. This seems like something he is being forced to do against his will, whatever it is.
Goddamn George Conway. I was just getting sleepy, too.
While the speculation is amusing, it’s almost certainly something that is (a) urgent for Trump but (b) mundane for the rest of us. Something like, the RNC is again making noise about stopping support for Trump’s legal expenses and he’s blown in to yell and beg about it.
He’s going to the DOJ to tell them he’s changed his mind and decided to issue himself a Presidential Pardon.
Then why a government jet?
Precisely. That’s why this seems like a big deal and there’s a lot of speculation. This isn’t just Trump flying somewhere.
The tail markings suggest it is not a government jet, but one of his own.
Impossible. It hasn’t got his name on it in giant gold letters.
OK, that pretty conclusively proves it’s not any kind of government flight.
I’m holding to my hypothesis that this is some sort of urgent private business which is largely unrelated to the ongoing investigations and that the overheated twittersphere is going to be disappointed.
I’m inclined to agree. It seems a bit lacking in insight to take derisive delight in QAnon thinking this means he’s about to resume his role as president while at the same time we all rub our hands gleefully over similarly as-yet-unsupported theories.
Naturally I would love it if his sudden trip to DC mean something conclusively ruinous to him, for those of us who view him as a stain on humanity. But I don’t want to jump to conclusions with little evidence. Let’s see what, if anything, is reported next.
Trump wears his golf shoes everywhere.
I am pretty sure that he is going there to golf, but obviously the hopes and dreams of America rests on a military court martial and summary execution.
