  I know this may be pedantic, but he was “arrested” the same day he was arraigned for the first three indictments. He just wasn’t handcuffed and isn’t being detained while he awaits trial.

    I expect his secret service detail will act as an assurance that he won’t skip the country.

  All true. Arresting him would also make the Secret Service’s job enormously more difficult.

    Only if he is in GenPop which won’t happen.

    Or easier, because they can just stand guard on his cell.
