DOJ held back the Bedminster stuff so they could also charge Trump in New Jersey (especially for the conversation with Mark Meadows' book researchers), in case the Florida charges get tied up by Judge Cannon.

Yes, Trump’s disclosure of the document contents on the recorded conversation happened at Bedminster. What happens in New Jersey is prosecuted in New Jersey. Trump will be facing charges in multiple states and DC.
Any bets on when Trump will try to flee to Russia?

Buckle-up.
I agree with the first part of your sentence, but not the second.
1. I do not think Trump will ever see the inside of a jail cell. The Archives and the DOJ have *already* bent over backwards to afford special privileges to this person, on account that he's a former President. Even if he's not President in 2024 and the jury is not hung, they will not dare send him to jail. Much will be made of his political stature, his age, his health, etc, and somehow he'll wiggle out of it.
2. But I don't believe there will be a civil war or any protest resembling Jan 6 - word on right-wing networks is that the government is out to get them, and since the Proud Boys and Oath Breakers have been guillotined, and people have been found guilty of Sedition, they're all pretty terrified of retribution right now. What could happen is lone wolf acts of terrorism on FBI offices or courts, which is why Willis has asked staff to work from home in August.
So... it will be more boring than we think. Which might be a good thing, long-term?
I think that he will be convicted because I believe the trial will bring out treasonous behavior on his part and even MAGA morons can understand this. Trump makes money from everything he can and he surely sold some of the information in the classified documents Also, he didn't just shoot himself in the foot at his diatribe on Tuesday evening, he gave himself a mortal wound. He essentially admitted that he knew all the documents were classified. I hope he keeps on ranting. (His newest enemies are the "mutants", whoever they are!)
Trump will skip the country before trial goes to a verdict. He is a coward snivelling.
