The main reason is destroying evidence. This is a guy that would literally eat memos and flush paperwork down the toilet while in the white house.
You forgot that they (Trump's people, maybe Trump himself) repeatedly burnt government documents in the White House fireplaces.
One of my favorite West Wing episodes
I love that episode
That's one I haven't heard before. It's also something I'd believe.

Oh for sure, but if the judge thinks it's a possibility he could flee, that's interesting to me. I hope Smith gets that January court date and we'll know soon enough if he evades his secret service, lol.
I and at least literally 'ones' of others figured he'd be off to Russia or more likely Saudi Arabia as soon as he left office because he was scared shitless of being thrown in jail.
Now, naturally I'm a bit pissed he hasn't been held, at least on the Jan 6th charges, if not the damn espionage act indictment. "Two-tiered" justice, indeed.
I had always hoped that Trump would try to escape to Russia. It would've been the icing on the shit cake.
Hanging out with Steven Seagal, riding around shirtless with Putin 😂
Barf.
I always picture him flying off on a propeller helicopter gadget thing, laughing.
