Bookmakers still think the odds are against him being indicted.
Donald Trump Indictment: How Did the FBI Raid Impact the Odds? (oddschecker.com)
FBI Search and Seizure at Trump's Mar-A-Lago Residence, August 8, 2022, Case Dismissed July 15, 2024
Do we have a thread on it? I hadn’t heard anything about it. Did trump say something even more egregious than usual?
I’m really getting even more worried about all this. It seems like this case is going to just sit here forever.
An interesting development. I’m not sure what it means except Biden wants someone of his own choosing in the position. That’s not unusual, but the timing is.
Sounds like the same old crap to me.
Well, there was this:
@Rick_Kitchen just posted it in the Stupid Republican thread. I think this is what people are referring to.
Okay, well, that is hella creepy. He played a dirge while complaining about all the stuff he doesn’t like, and attendees held fingers over their heads? Big cult vibes. Another avenue trump is using to pressure the country into dropping the investigations and putting him back in power.
Hey, if he wants a one-finger salute I got one right here…
Or, rather … another avenue Trump, in his manic delusions, believes will pressure the country into dropping the investigations and putting him back in power.
In reality, 10 such rallies a day with ten times the attendees at each wouldn’t do a thing to deter the investigations. They may flounder for other reasons, but no one in Biden’s White House or the DOJ is ever going to say, “Gee whiz, I’m scared, let’s drop this whole idea!”
I saw a video posted on Twitter taken by a TicTocker. They made sure to pan around the venue. More than half the seats were empty and the ones that had people were all clustered close to the stage.
This is weird … my post is surrounded by people with cat avatars.
Here’s the video.
Say what?
Exactly. No one not drinking the Trump Kool-Aid (or Flavor-Ade, ye nitpickers) believes that ugly rallies will somehow change what’s happening.
It’s CocaKoolAid zero, many people say.
That looks like barely 1/3 full, in an arena that seats 7,000.
And he still can’t stop calling those meetings? Sad… for him
So if you go to one of his rallies, the chances are they’ll make you sit behind the speakers. Where you’ll get a good view of the back of everyone’s heads.
Maybe they have screens.
He was in super red Prescott Valley, Arizona a couple of months ago. I was tickled to learn that he couldn’t even fill 5200 seats AND people started leaving around 9pm when the rally was scheduled to last until 11pm. The parking lot crowd had about twenty people with beer filled ice chests who didn’t want to go inside for their own reasons, probably because they couldn’t bring their beer in with them.
So, there is that to think about.
Here’s a Zoe Tillman (Buzzfeed) Tweet with a screen cap of the notice of docket activity concerning the deadline and a link to a Bloomberg story.
Here’s a CNN story concerning the appeal that confirms the deadline.

Trump’s team has until noon ET Tuesday to respond to the DOJ’s request, the court said on Saturday.
