Once you accept the fact that there are no #indictments coming, the incessant delays make perfect sense. Drag it out until we forget and move on to the next outrage. It’s crushing and bewildering, but I’ve accepted it. He is constrained by neither laws nor decorum; the rules simply don’t apply. Any number of guesses and reasons as to why, but here we are.
If I’m wrong, and I really hope I am, I will celebrate my ass off. But I don’t think I’m wrong here. #indictment

NEW: From the moment he blustered onto the political stage, Trump has defied expectations. So you can't predict the impact of an indictment. But there's reason to believe his ability to defy political physics may have ended + his scot-free days are over

Just a reminder that Jack Smith is not fooling around & justice will come swiftly.

It may have taken AG Garland more time than anticipated to find someone like Jack Smith to appoint as Special Prosecutor because the DOJ understands the complexity & dire circumstances surrounding Trump & his criminal conspirators case(s). Smith does not F*k around & knows the law better than many.

Total mental gymnastics since Trump announced his own pending indictment this past week. Maybe I've just been caught up in the news swirl---sharks lunging at chum. It would be amazing if everyone just ignored all dramas having to do with the former president. Aren't we done babysitting him? #indictment #Trump #AmericanPolitics

#Trump has repeatedly attacked #Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg, who is reportedly nearing a potential #indictment in his investigation of the 2016 hush-money payment to adult film star #StormyDaniels, calling him an "animal" and calling for his supporters to "protest" his widely anticipated arrest. The former #president early Friday morning warned of "potential death & destruction" if he is charged in the case, and pushed back on calls for his supporters to remain "peaceful."

I haven't popped the popcorn, yet, but don't you think it is hilarious that the Grand Jury's schedule is secret and nobody knows when they will meet again?

The other shoe is just dangling there twisting in the wind, but when, or if, it will fall is a secret.

I think it might be a clever ruse by prosecutors intended to cause him to breakdown and confess in order to end the suspense that must be killing him by now.

I'm waiting for the post.

The Porn Star and the President 

"Cohen’s testimony... was delivered to a rapt nation, but the details of that [porn star payoff] scandal have now been overwritten by more than four years of newer Trump material — two impeachments, an insurrection, an unrelated FBI raid of Trump’s Florida home.

Nevertheless, the first indictment of a former president may now result from Trump’s payment to the porn star"

O grand jury and indictment,
The country awaits in anticipation
For crimes committed and evidence revealed
Will a former president be revealed to have failed
Identifying guilt is your lone mission
An indictment is the outcome of your submission

No arrest today for Trump (did we ever believe there would be?)
Sources close to the Trump legal team told CNN that they have been informed by the Manhattan district attorney's office that an indictment will not take place on Tuesday. Should one be announced, Trump's legal team said they do not expect any arrest or initial appearance to happen before next week.

Just so we're all clear on this:

When Trump said he was going to be arrested on Tuesday, he was lying. He knew he wouldn't be arrested, because he's the one who called Costello to testify today.

He played all of us. Again.

On Truth Social, Trump claimed that he would be arrested in Manhattan on Tuesday.

According to Trump, “THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.”

Trump then told his MAGA cult followers to protest if such an event occurred, but, if January 6th is any indication, any “protest” may quickly turn into a riot.

@Teri_Kanefield The timelines you provided are very, very helpful. And I understand more about what you think DJT might try to use as his defense arguments, and why they probably won't keep him from being indicted in #Georgia.

One question is, would it be typical for Fanni Willis to wait until all the witnesses requested by the grand jury have responded to their subpoenas before asking the jurors to vote for an #indictment? Or could they decide based on partial testimony that it's time?
