They were scheduled to testify in front of various House committees today, it's possible they always planned to flee before that happened. It seems like they were only arrested once it became clear they were trying to run.

My interpretation of things is that Barr probably tipped off Rudy that these gentlemen were being investigated, Rudy then passed that information along abd the two gentlemen tried to skip town; but because LOL Rudy is obviously being watched they didn't get very far.

Also the SDNY doesn't trust the DOJ and so delayed telling Barr about the arrest until the absolute last minute.

That sound about right to you?

Also, I wouldn't be half-surprised that Gulliani probably thinks he's invincible because of all the times he's admitted to crimes on TV and no one has done anything about it. Of course his cronies would think they're invincible too.

you don't need a one way ticket to a non-extradition nation to tell the House to pound sand, at least until the sergeant at arms starts arresting people

Didn't Rudy also have like lots of contacts in the SDNY? Pretty sure I remember something about him getting leaks back in 2016. It's possible he could have known before Barr.

Even on a basic level though, just fuckin book a 72 hour trip and skip the return leg. Or drive to Canada or Mexico and hop on a boat there.

Hasn't that been true ever since Southern Baptists existed?

Not really, actually! The slide really began to occur after the 1968 (I think) Southern Baptist Convention put out an extremely (for the time) progressive platform supporting racial reconciliation and justice. After that, in 1970, the arch-conservative elements began to put into action a plan to take over the machinery of the convention, and replaced every position in power with fundamentalists. The "split" was finalized in 1991, with a large group of moderates breaking away and forming their own conference, the Coopertive Baptist Fellowship.

Sheriff Offices, at least in NC are their own special kind of beast. While nominally part of the County government at least for things such as benefits, budget etc. the Sheriff is an elected official and everyone in the sheriff's department 'serves at the pleasure of the sheriff' i.e. you're not really a county employee, you're the sheriff's employee and he can hire and fire whoever he wants for whatever reason he wants. (Unless of course doing so violates one's civil rights, which this certainly does) What I'm saying is there are way easier ways for a sheriff to purge his office of people he doesn't want, it happens routinely whenever a new sheriff gets elected, especially in the smaller counties.

Sheriffs departments are hosed across the country. They operate without any oversight basically. The podcast In the Dark goes into detail about a town and how hosed the sheriff is and how corrupt and bullshit the whole system for them is.

I mean its so obvious that it's the reason why the biggest ghouls are doubling down on obstructing the inquiry....they're all complicit.

Who could have predicted this? Certainly not everyone with half a brain in this thread since the very beginning of the Russia investigation.

I was thinking the same thing and had to laugh at how the sheer cheapness of these rich criminals did them in. I mean depending on how close they were being followed, it might not have helped, but it sure would've looked a hell of a lot less suspect to spend the extra money for a round-trip to a tourist destination then use the good old European public trains to get where you need to go.

Once upon a time it was understandable to argue that the Russia stuff was a read herring that distracts from the larger problems. At this point, it's part of a larger pattern that's inextricably linked with those larger problems.

Rudy was just telling them that now is a good time to go to Europe since they’ll see some nice fall colors, and it’s a one way ticket because they’re not sure how long they’re going to vacation for. It’s all a coincidence and Rudy just knows all the primo vacation spots for them.
