Yeah I’d be curious to see what happens if he skips, because he has Secret Service protection for the rest of his life.
The Secret Service has an obligation to protect him, but they’re also federal officers. Would they protect him from the bounty hunters? Would they rat him out? Would they act as the bounty hunters and drag him back to the courthouse against his will?
It also raises questions about a potential conviction. If he gets convicted, will the Secret Service simply post extra guards specifically for his (isolated) prison cell? They’d probably want to try and outsource it to the prison directly, but then you run into the issue of having a person who still has Top Secret clearance and has proven to be irresponsible with it being guarded by people who don’t have that clearance. The Secret Service would probably need to clear several of their members and post them there as guards, simply to prevent Don from blabbing national secrets to anyone who will listen. Basically, limit his contact to only people who also have clearance.
Regardless, I’d pay good money to get a livestream of the bounty hunters taking Don down.
I don't get why the secret service would do anything to stop it. They aren't loyal to a person, I thought, they're federal officers charged to protect an individual. Protect from... who, the government? No, from harm. Is it their job to turn him in? Maybe not, quite frankly I don't know, but I don't see how they'd turn against other police forces - they aren't his personal militia.
I doubt they'd up and go to war for him, but if some of the SS were part of his cult, I could see them doing ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING they could to keep him free.
Talking our of my butt, but it would be worth it to either put him is ADX, or build a new prison just for him.
Reopen Alcatraz and put him in there.
I'm sure the irony of having him in prison in California would be lost on no one except him.
