Chaos at court as Trump grand jury hearing canceled, Bragg concerned about indictment

[ToddNotTodd]

Happy Indictment Day everybody!

I heard there were tens of thousands of people there. That wouldn't be a lie... would it?

 

[USincognito]

The "smoke" has been billowing from the left for 7 years as the have DT living in the heads rent free for the entire time 24/7.

It's hard to miss him if he won't leave.

That's also a disingenuous trope. Liberals, moderates and non-red hat conservatives wondering why people still support him given everything we know now is hardly him living rent free in anyone's head.

The right's obsession with Hunter though...

Ten of thousands. Most, apparently, were Donald Heads* who follow him around attending his concer.. I mean rallies. The number I'm seeing is ~15,000. His last one in Texas was ~35,000.

* Like Dead Heads

This is nothing but political theater and it's a sad day for America. What purpose could there be to indict Trump over a seven year old alleged and basically victimless crime? Plus his Presidency ended over two years ago.

This must be grandstanding on the part of the Manhattan DA, who likely has ambitious future political goals for himself.

They cannot get DT off the ballot for 2024 when he will win a landslide.

Hmm... 2020 was supposed to be Trump by a landslide, too.

Trump will not win in 2024, just as he didn't win in 2020 because while the Maga fanbase will vote for him, the rest of the country knows better.

A source inside Bragg’s office also said a substantial number of assistant district attorneys were “shaking their heads” over Bragg’s decision to pursue Trump, 76.
“They don’t understand how this case is going forward,” the source said. “These ADAs are not fans of Trump but they are professional lawyers and know the law.”
Fox News also reported “major dissension” inside Bragg’s office, with one source saying the “weakness” of the evidence against Trump was posing problems for prosecutors.

“The last thing he wants is for the grand jury to vote against him,” the source said. “He wants a no-doubt-about-it case. He is pressuring the ‘Trump obsessed’ to step…

I wouldn't believe a thing Fox News says on the cameras.

It seems Trump is being indicted for illegal campaign financing. It's about time, given that his lawyer served jail time for this years ago.

The Russia investigation was from the right with the Republican acting attorney general putting together a special council to investigate this.
The Ukraine extortion was from the right with right wing people being whistle blowers and providing testimony.

Most of Trump's troubles have been Republican vs Republican.

Drivel.

 

[stevil]

Drivel.

Even the Jan 6 insurrection was Maga Republicans against Mike Pence.

The illegal alternative slate of electors was MAGA Republicans trying to replace the official slate of electors which were also put together by Republicans
And Trump was caught illegally putting pressure onto Republican election officials in some states, trying to get them to overturn the election results.
And Trump got the Republican Attorney General to quit in his attempts to get him to lie about "widespread voter fraud"
And Trump tried to fire the next Republican Attourney General and replace him with a MAGA Republican who was willing to lie about widespread voter fraud.

Entirely a Republican vs Republican dance

I'm going to wait until the indictment is actually unsealed. But I was wondering for a bit if Bragg might be going for Enterprise Corruption, which can explain the sheer amount of counts.

ETA: Enterprise Corruption also relies on a pattern of acts and behavior, which could be how Bragg got around the statute of limitaitons.

Of course not. There were about 138,000 people there. At least if you cast a wide enough net to define how much area there covers.

 

[JacksBratt]

No, that is not what I mean. He plays to his audience only and mostly just rambles about himself but his crowd eats that up.

You show me a "good" politician that doesn't.

 

[JacksBratt]

You mean like the meagre crowd in Waco who started leaving 15 minutes into his rambling screed of grievances?

I think you are looking at fake news.

You can't leave if the only views that the fake news gets is from dragging his name into some new hoax story..

They just indicted him.. bad bad move...

He will win and then be even more powerful...

Bragg should have listened to the logic and not Soros money.

So, how do you move 15K to 35K people from place to place to follow DT?

I mean it's hard enough to move a small group of 40 people to one place and get them there all at the same time.. 15 - 35,000 wow.

That smells a bit of antisemitism...

It's what Soros has told him to do.. You could see it..

1/ It was leaked and planned.
2/ Logic prevaled and the whole deal was revealed to be a bad move with no basis or positive outcome for the left.
3/ Bragg backed off.. it was over.
4/ Some force prompted Bragg to go ahead and indict him on a charge that is past it's starute of limitations.
5/ Even Pelosi is being roasted for stating that the legal system works and DT will get the chance to prove his innocence.
How stupid.... the legal system means that the prosecution has to prove his guilt.

Political theater.. but karma will prevale. This will show how desparate and corrupt the fake news, fake department of justice and two sided legal system is. The left will lose here.

This is the best thing for DT.
