Don’t call us, we’ll call you…

… He will be formally arrested and arraigned Tuesday in his hush money case, setting the scene for the historic, shocking moment when a former president is forced to stand before a judge to hear the criminal charges against him.

The indictment remained sealed and the specific charges were not immediately known, but details were confirmed by people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss information that isn’t yet public.

The streets outside the courthouse where the arraignment will unfold were calm Friday compared with earlier in the week. There were no large-scale demonstrations for or against Trump, though tourists stopped to take selfies and throngs of reporters and police officers remained assembled.

When Trump turns himself in, he’ll be booked mostly like anyone else facing charges, mug shot, fingerprinting and all. But he isn’t expected to be put in handcuffs; he’ll have Secret Service protection and will almost certainly be released that same day…


Can’t blame Graham for his tears — all those hours of trudging around mediocre golf courses, laughing at bad jokes, wasted! He’s not a young man, how is he supposed to compete against the new generation of feral GOP coat-holders all clamoring for a new host?…

    I dunno,  if they didn’t want him to be indicted, maybe the GOP shouldn’t have nominated a crook to run for President.

    I can’t see a plea deal happening, since those normally involve the defendant standing in front of a judge, admitting guilt, and confessing remorse; and that’s not something Trump would do. But it is fun to speculate who he’d incriminate as part of a plea bargain.

    I am still recovering from my much-more-than-mild disappointment that I was traveling (and therefore, AWAY FROM MY BOTTLE OF TRUMP INDICTMENT DAY CHAMPAGNE THAT I’VE BEEN SAVING SINCE FOREVER) when Indictment Day finally happened.

    However, I made it back home two hours ago.  Bottoms up, peeps!!

    @Jeffro: Having the bottle w dinner that we bought last night for the occasion but then decided to go out instead.

    My substantive point is that all the talk of how shocking this is really misses what is shocking.  It should have been perfectly predictable that someone who commits crimes in public and shows no respect for the law eventually winds up in legal trouble.

    The only surprising thing is how long it took.

  6. 6.

    mvr

    @mvr: Also, I believe in innocent until proven guilty as a legal matter. But I also believe in the things I see, and that means I can be glad this guy is finally paying the price for some of what everyone knows he did, even while thinking the courts should do their thing in the appropriate way, granting him that status until he is convicted.

    I just want to say one last time* (prompted by that second-to-last tweet about trump cutting a plea deal) that I still just cannot shake the image/dream/hope/whatever of trump sitting at that classic beat-up wooden table in a police interrogation room, confessing to everything** in an effort to avoid being thrown  in the slammer and losing his entire fortune***.

    * I swear

    **yes EVERYTHING: which GOP elected officials are compromised by Putin (besides him), everything he has on Graham and Dershowitz, his many tax scams, what Putin told him in Helsinki, and more

    ***yes I know he doesn’t have a fortune but he thinks he does, somewhere

    sigh

    And with that…I’m just going to let it go.  Fever dream?  Prescient vision?  Or just a nimrod babbling into his keyboard?  Only the great goddess Karma knows for sure.

    @Ken: I can see him plead to a (much) lesser crime.  But only after all the delays and filings have played themselves out over a long period of months

    He would have to pay a fine but not have to do any jail time. He could pretend he beat the charges and outsmarted the Soros-back DA.

    But since IANAL, I’m just speculating and have no real clue how this will go. I’m just happy that it’s going.

    Heh, he’s stupid enough to start off trying to give up his associates at the time to get off/lighten the charges.  That would have a great effect on his current entourage.

    @Scout211: Trump settled the Trump University case quietly after swearing he never would.  Ditto with the case against his charity.  The only reason he has never plea bargained a criminal case is because this is his first indictment.

    Roger Moore

    Remember, if they can belatedly indict The Crime Guy for one of his many, many obvious and highly public crimes, they could do the same thing to you.

    The whole thing about “if they can come for Trump, they can come for you” is just so bizarre to me.  It’s like the quote about how a government powerful enough to give you everything you need is powerful enough to take everything you have.  Well duh.  One of the most fundamental roles of government is to provide justice, and that means providing justice even when the criminal is rich and powerful.  In other words, the government has to be able to take on the rich and powerful and take everything they have just in order to qualify for the most basic level of function.

    PS: lost in all the trump hubbub: a major GOP fundraiser just got found guilty on several counts of sex trafficking minors:

    Lazzaro’s indictment touched off a political firestorm in the Republican Party of Minnesota. He had donated roughly $190,000 to Minnesota Republicans.

    FBI agents raided Lazzaro’s downtown Minneapolis condo in December 2020. Inside his $875,000 place at the luxury Ivy high rise, investigators seized nearly $400,000 in cash, along with foreign currency and bars believed to be gold. They found a GPS tracker, thumb drives, laptops, tablets, and more than a dozen cell phones. Agents also confiscated his Ferrari.

    By all accounts, Lazzaro was living large until the raid, which was linked to allegations of sex trafficking minors. His social media shows pictures with a* president and high-ranking politicians. Flashy cars, cash and private planes are splashed across his accounts.

    *Guess which president, and guess which party the high-ranking politicians are members of?

    @MagdaInBlack: this is what I mean – he does, in all likelihood, have some very valuable dirt information to trade in exchange for avoiding jail time!

    I may be wrong, but I think this is the dam finally breaking.  The stories won’t stop.  Next will be the details of the indictment.  And then there will be the usual everything-and-the-kitchen-sink attempts at delay and obfuscation, which I expect will be dealt with quickly and brutally since TFG is already busy self-sabotaging with his public comments about the judge.  And hard on the heels of this indictment is expected to come a Fulton County indictment (unless the GA Lege manages to torpedo it somehow).  And then there’s the Carroll suit, and the NY State suit.  And looming behind but approaching inexorably like a thunderstorm, the twin investigations of Jack “Sure That’s His Real Name” Smith.

    It’s going to be Christmas for months for the media.  Live by the sword etc ..

    Oh, and as to pleading out, I can’t see it.  What would he have to gain? The penalties here, even if it’s successfully upgraded to a felony, are comparatively minor.  “Trump Admits Guilt In Criminal Case” would be far worse imo.

    @Ken: Plus, we know from the stolen documents found at MaL that he won’t take a lifeline when offered.  He’ll try to bluster and power through everything.  If/when he’s convicted, he’ll appeal.  When he loses the appeal, he’ll appeal that.

    He’ll try to run out the clock, hoping that President Baked Alaska pardons him.

    He thinks he can wait out everyone else, and all punishment.  Because he always has thus far.

    I might do it just to see if my guesses are correct.

    One thing’s for sure: when I told them back in late 2015 that if they didn’t do their best to kneecap trump and stand up for actual conservative principles*, he would keep leading them further down the spiral and every six months, they’d be in a place they could never have imagined just a half-year prior (if that makes sense).  Just endless debasement and embracing ever more degrading acts by this corrupt goon.

    Well, here we are, something like fifteen(!) of those cycles later and they’re not exactly burning up my phone lines to tell me I was right all along.

    White male supremacy is a helluva drug.  And the inability to admit that one was wrong, buttressed 24/7 by the FoxBubble in my dad’s case and RWNJ blogs in my brother’s case, is stronger than steel.

    Just watched Rachel Maddow; she covered Spiro Agnew resigning from office. Interestingly, to avoid prosecution, Agnew agreed to never run for office again.

    The decision by Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis to reject requests from Fox News and parent company Fox Corporation to dismiss the case had been widely anticipated.

    But legal experts said the specific ruling was a blow for Fox — and an encouraging sign going into trial for Dominion Voting Systems, which argues that Fox unfairly smeared it with wild allegations about its role in the 2020 election…”

    If you mean killed by Putin, fuck, no.  Why would Putin do that?  Trump confessing in detail direct orders he got from Putin and dishing horrible blackmail dirt on the whole Republican Party would make Putin’s day.  Discrediting the whole American system of government is one of his primary goals, and that would make Trump a godsend from beginning to end.

    ETA: Come to think of it, that would be instructional for everyone. Sort of a long bumpersticker.

    I’m in Florida and the MAGA.pac is already running ads against DeSatan. This battle between tRump and DeSatan will only get better.

    @West of the Rockies: Trump will be on drugs to calm him down.  The question is will they get the dosage right?  Some of the drugging to get Trump to give a calm-ish speech were definitely over-prescribed

    edit: I can’t believe that no one has suggested the possibility of Trump having some sort of (alleged) health even that would keep him from being able to be arraigned on Tuesday.

    @StringOnAStick: Wow, that’s surprising about your father.

    Are you feeling any better today?  No one asked my opinion, but i thought it might have been kind of foolish for your husband to go skiing over the weekend after just having gotten over Covid.

    Hopefully there were no negative aftereffects or him.
