I'm fairly certain the US Marshals could arrest him if they wanted, but Trump will fly to NYC and surrender rather than getting arrested and perp walked.
They should separate her from her parents and stuff her in a cage.
In the event of the 1% chance of being jailed, what happens to the secret service guys that have a lifetime job of protecting him?
There will be some jostling between the Secret Service guys and the US Marshals to surround him!!!
I think indictments from a Grand Jury are basically the same as charges from the police. They both represent formal accusations of specific offences that the law requires to be filed before taking someone to court. Arresting someone is somewhat different. It just means the act of depriving someone of their liberty by taking them into the custody of the police. Often an arrest warrant is a consequence of an indictment being filed or charges being brought but it's a separate part of the process. Indictments are the grounds you might base an arrest on. You might also be arrested under suspicion prior to being charged and then held while charges are sought.
Makes sense, thank you!
Yes, people are so entrenched in their support that this only strengthens it.
Trump hasn’t done anything to expand his base since 2016 & yesterday won’t win him any indies. This indictment certainly will galvanize his base, but their numbers wouldn’t propel him to victory.
DeSantis show is just a meaningless promotion of himself, nothing else.
Yep. We are in uncharted territory right now as a nation, but yesterday gives a certain amount of cover to Smith & Willis.
Yes, you are right, but the Governor of Georgia is a Republican and the main election officers that were pressured by Trump are also Republicans (Brad Raffensperger and Gabriel Sterling). Republicans in Georgia are central to any charges against Trump. And they are human beings, they are worried about their safety, and the safety of their friends and family.
I've seen a few commentators saying this will strengthen him in the primary against Meatball Ron, but weaken him in the general. Let's hope that's true.
They have to go to jail with him and join the Aryan Brotherhood.
Trump ticks a lot of boxes.
*yuge
He just needs to come out of the closet and then Trump has nothing on him.
It’s so transparent he’s being blackmailed. The fact he’s not just gone on there and followed the same script as everyone else, he’s also grifting - pleading with people to donate directly to Trump.That’s definitely come off the back of a call with Trump shortly before.
The definition of a ****.
Yeah, no one cares if he's gay. I don't think he'd be the first LGBTQ Republican; there are something like 9 federal Republicans who came out as LGBTQ before him.
He's just pathetic. Dont know how he lives with himself. A life of deceit and regrets.
Is there some basis of your saying this? Presumably there's many crimes and other reasons than being gay that could be blackmail material, why do you think it's that he's gay?
Nah, using a main one in downtown NYC just like everyone else.
I suspect they will have to use an isolated facility to jail him. He cant be mixing with the general jail population.
If a conviction is secured it might have been worth it. His **** can’t propel him to victory but they are major shit stirrers. If Trump gets acquitted that will embolden and galvanise them and you could have another J6 next election.
Democrats now should be stoking the Trump vs De Santis fire. Get their bases entrenched and playing off against each other to the point that when the election comes they struggle to vote for the other.
That's true. Julius Caesar famously paid to have sex with Pompey's wife, but because that wife also happened to be his daughter, he then tried to pay her off by doubling her allowance, but Pompey of course found out, because as a good Roman wife she gave all her allowance to her husband. Then some more stuff happened and Rome turned into an empire. On the bright side, this means Donald Trump will be stabbed 23 times in the senate.
