The Grand Jury in NYC didn't even meet today, and is not likely to meet till next week. This is starting to look like another big tease to a nothing-burger.

The speculation is they're arranging a rebuttal witness to Guiliani's attorney that testified Monday. One that isn't Cohen.

I saw that they are now on standby for tomorrow. one reason I saw is that they are bringing back a witness to testify or like Atocep said

What are the odds to the speculation that the NY DA has been told to stand tight because the DOJ expects to hand down an indictment tomorrow?

None of it is true. We've been doing this dance for 7yrars and nothing has ever happened, why do we keep pretending like it matters.

We're as bad as the lock her up morons.

I'm sure this time there's no way he can escape punishment.

Even if he does get convicted, his lawyers will drag out his appeals. Trump will die of old age before he sees any punishment.

We've got SkyNet by the balls, don't we?

The GOP is a party for Trump.

Here you go.

The NY grand jury is taking April off.

I'm sure the next rumors will be true and he'll have to face judgment.

Was it really a rumor? Wasn't this one set off by Trump himself?

Disney completely out maneuvered DeSantis on the Reedy Creek board. It seems the day before the power transfered, the old Disney board put a legal covenant in place that prevents the new board from basically changing anything for 30 years. So now they have a long, expensive legal battle to be able to do anything but sit there. That explains why Disney chose not to fight this.

Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

It's hilarious. Disney basically left the board with road maintenance responsibilities and nothing else.

Kind of wondering if Desantis ever fights back against Trump. He's been getting thrashed on an almost daily basis with no retort.

Reading some of the stories, where Disney now has all the rights instead of a board that they more or less owned - you almost wonder if they orchestrated this fight to being with. Or at least duped DeSantis into it. Or, hell, worked with him on it and all of this is for show. DeSantis gets to claim he fought in the Social Justice War and Disney gets to claim they were inclusive while getting the rights to control everything legally.

SI

I love that part of that new covenant is in perpetuity, or if it legally can't be, then until 21 years after the last decendant of King Charles III has passed. Just *chef's kiss*

Is the King Charles thing the lawyer equivalent of doing a bat flip after a homer? Seems like something someone had fun with.

Whenever I would argue with people about the Disney thing I would always say if the Desantis move was bad for Disney they would have fought it.

His star is falling very fast.

Will all of the GOP textualists impeach Trump if he's indicted on a misdemeanor?

It's weird that it's the most ticky tack case they could find. Out of all the crimes he committed in the open, this is the one they go after him for. Guessing part of that is the DOJ is filled with a bunch of pussies.

Yeah, I wonder if they'll make him roll up his sleeve before slapping him on the wrist.

Does he have to turn himself in and get a mugshot like us common folks? Genuine question.

I think the Secret Sevice will escort him to court, and he will be processed. There is not likely to be perp walk or handcuffs involved.

I really wish this had been the final, "pile on" case, not the first (and possibly only) case.

yes and you can 100% guarantee he will monetize that mug shot

I get that this is a big story, but it isn't a live cameras at the courthouse with helicopters flying overhead.

Especially when nothing is likely to happen till tomorrow. Has the DA announced a press conference yet?

Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk

I suspect there was some value to having a fig leaf cover up the fact that the whole Reedy Creek thing, originally, was just a way to let Disney do whatever it wanted, without it seeming like it was usurping local elected goverment.

When it became clear that DeSantis was willing to turn that fig leaf into his own bazooka, the fig leaf lost its value to Disney.

Yes

Trump's attorney says he supposed to turn himself in next week, meanwhile Desantis says that Florida will not help in expediting him if asked. They won't be, but he is trying to look tough.

So for those saying he's just going to get away with all because he's Trump, i hope you have a little more faith in the judicial system. Even if a jury finds him innocent or can't decide. And we don't even know what they are charging him with other than its a felony. And the Georgia and Jan 6 grand juries are still out there waiting.

I'm pretty positive he'll want the full fingerprint, handcuffed, perp walk on camera for his campaign fund and propaganda.

My lack of faith in the judicial system is because he is wealthy, not specifically that he's Trump.

34 counts in the indictment,

I love how people that claim dems rig elections are now saying this indictment wins the 2024 election for Trump.

Does this indictment hand the nomination to DeSantis because Trump might be off the board?

SI

Nah, the indictment makes them fight harder for Trump.

and 30+ counts on the indictment? Woah. if they could get 30+ out of hush money payments, how many are they going to get out of the other Trump legal problems..

With 34 counts I think we're looking at more than just hush money here.

"34 counts of falsification of business records" according to some talking head on CNN, which I am reading third-hand fwiw.

Trump: Tiny D sucks and nobody should vote for him

DeSantis: I will do everything in my power to defend the great Donald J. Trump

I'm expecting it won't be long before DeSantis decides he has unfinished business in FL or needs to spend time with his young kids or something else that will explain away why he isn't running in 2024.

But just in case, he repealed the Florida law today that states he has to give up his current office to run for any other office-and he did it today because the media would be talking about Trump.

He paid Cohen back in installments. My guess is each payment is it's own crime.

Let the ketchup hit the walls... Let the ketchup hit the walls...
Let the ketchup hit the......WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

trump has said that his indictment is "an attack on this country, the likes of which has never been seen before"

There you have it. trump being indicted is bigger than Pearl Harbor and 9/11. Bigger than the sinking of the Lusitania. Bigger than literally anything, ever in the history of the country.

Not that we're feeling hyperbolic or anything. It's REAL.

Do you have a cite for that?

These MAGA idiots may have an actual argument for this case if they hadn't been chanting "lock her up" for 7 years.

Just stunning how many GOPers want to be rid of him but are still volunteering to dive onto the hand grenade to protect him.

It's not stunning anymore, actually.

I wonder how many would go back to the first impeachment and get rid of him when they had the chance?

I really is wild how he has destroyed the party. Go against him and lose your primary, go with him and lose the general. Other than through attrition I'm not sure how they get past that cycle.

YOU are stunning tho

The GOP establishment knows how to get rid of politicians it actually wants to get rid of. See, e.g., Madison Cawthorn.

They like Trump. They agree with Trump. They want Trump in charge. If they didn't, he'd be out of the picture by now.

They just keep leaking to the media that they don't like him in order to try and keep moderate voters in their camp.

We live in a world where a former president and the leading candidate of one of the two major parties is referencing a twitter poll from someone named Catturd. And people wonder why we are a laughing stock. Oh, and the thing about the Central Park Five! WTF. He is totally unhinged

Lindsay Graham shamelessly shilling for trump literally begging people to send him money is something else.

I think there are plenty of GOPer electeds that would love to be rid of Trump, DeSantis chief among them, but they all worry that being even slightly anti-Trump is a Cheney-like death sentence for their political careers.

None of them, though, can take over until they are rid of Trump.

I think the reasoning has changed a bit, though. At first, I think they were scared he had so much influence over most of the party that to cross him meant certain political death from blowback. Now, I think the calculus is more likely that he still holds enough sway with a certain number of voters that they are afraid those voters won't turn out at all if they go against Trump. Most of the party is fine with someone else, but you've got this diehard Trump group who just won't show up to vote if you're a "trader."

Speaking of Trumpers, I see that Lauren Boebert has said she's not going to "nitpick" the Bible about right and wrong after her 17 year old son got his GF pregnant. Funny how that works.

I think it’s both. It will be interesting to see what happens if the nominee isn’t Trump.

If you've got some GOP news you want no one to see, these are the two weeks to get it out there.

Speaking of which...

SI

Looks like they haven't passed it but they're drafting it. And with his majority in Florida, it'll pass.

I would like to see a profile of the voter that wasn't going to vote for Trump in the general election but will now because he is soon to be indicted.

Is there a block out there that will be convinced maybe he is being persecuted and be sympathetic to him?

Yeah it's called MAGA

This doesn't help him. It just gets his base riled up enough to send him more money.

This dumb fuck is now attacking the judge on his social media platform. I swear he really is his own worse enemy.

I think the profile is more of "voter who would sit out 2024 vs one who won't if they think they could keep their savior out of jail".

SI

Gonna say.....yes....

Friend,

Did you hear the news??
Stand with President Trump AGAINST Leftist corruption by rushing in a donation to our OFFICIAL TRUMP DEFENSE FUND now. >>

I'm impressed DeSantis went straight to anti-Semitism in defending Trump since there's a sizeable Jewish population in Florida.

I was wondering why he hadn't announced. This explains it.

That is exactly it. And there are still low-interest voters that need a reason to show. They may not have just to beat Biden, but they will to save Orange Jesus.

See, I don't think there's much of anybody that wouldn't have voted Trump in 2024 that now will. The voter that is motivated by indictments is a voter already clearly in the MAGA box.

Now I get how this helps him in the primary, but felony indictment isn't a positive for the general.

And it's not like very many stayed home in 2020. They had massive turnout.

Don't have a link yet but the judge in the Dominion vs Fox case basically threw out everything Fox wanted, sided with Dominion on Fox pushing false election results, and sent the "malice" part to Trial.

It is a 130 page order, so there is a huge amount there. Looks like your summary is the gist. Fox did knowingly lie, now whether it was malice or not is all that is left to adjudicate.

Looking forward to hearing key Fox personalities testify (and squirm under oath). The lawsuit is for $1.6B in damages. Fox 2022 net income was $1.5B.

Judge sends Dominion lawsuit against Fox News to trial - POLITICO

I don't know shit about such law but I read it suggested by some rando that this lawsuit could also lead to punitive damages that could potentially multiply that judgment.

That would be great.

My guess is Fox will be found guilty. I'm just not sure Dominion could show (or the jury would award) $1.6B in damages.

Get some of those dot com bros who convince VCs to give them hundreds of millions of dollars to gin up what Dominion could have made, and they could be looking at 12 figures in damages.

They aren't even trying to hide it anymore

Just a moment...

No, they are not. But I do think that they've saved the least popular of their stuff for the Trump Indictment so that it sucks up all the political news oxygen.

WaPo reporting that AFTER Trump received his subpoena he was seen on video going through the boxes of classified docs separating things out.

Dola- apparently secret service agents are set to testify Friday in the docs case. Many of them are still loyal to Trump so not sure how that will go.

It won't happen, and it would be silly of him to do it.

But if Trump snuck into Russia right now for asylum, would that be the biggest political story in American history?

I agree, not gonna happen. But the documents case is pretty serious. Even Barr seems to think he's likely fucked on that one.

I can't imagine the hell his defense attorneys go through. Hannity threw him a softball question to lead Trump into defending himself and instead of taking it he admitted to the crime. Putting him on the stand to defend himself is completely off the table.

Dola

His best defense in the documents case, after Pence and Biden had documents, was going go be that it's wrong but not outside the norm.

Trump is doing everything in his power to destroy that defense. He's doubled down on him having every right to those documents and admitted to Hannity that he purposely took them.

If they have video and testimony that he went through the documents after the subpoena to separate and hide what he wanted to keep then he has no defense other than trying to frame the Presidential Records Act as something that it is clearly not.

Him having the documents isn't the story. It is him refusing to give them back. That is the difference between the Trump case and Biden/Pence. However his cult followers won't see it that way.

They will truly defend him no matter how obvious it is he committed the crime.

dola- I still stand by the statement that nothing will happen to him. By the time any of these cases could actually go to trial he will likely be the party nominee for President and nothing will happen to him. I get the need for accuracy but at some point you also have to realize you're up against a clock. I don't get what is taking so long in Georgie especially. He said what he said, hasn't denied it. So either charge him or don't.

I still don't think Garland has the balls to charge him for anything.
