I wonder how his awesome respect for grand juries is holding out now, a mere day and a half later. 😁 I can’t help wondering whether the Orange Peril’s asinine tweet affected the timing of the indictment. That is, Bragg may have been planning to call for an indictment after the break but did it now, either to a) keep the tweet from festering for a month, or b) give His Nibs a great big middle finger. Works for me either way. And his response calls to mind the “No decrease in the chocolate ration” → “Expect a decrease in the chocolate ration” → “Chocolate ration increased!” sequence in _1984_. Anyone who can reconcile it with yesterday’s tweet is a doubleplusgood doublethinker. ---

My fear is they will attempt to put Trump on trial and something will happen and there will be mistrial. Then they will have to decide whether to try him again and it would NOT surprise if the second attempt results in a mistrial as well, What happens after THAT I am not sure but I fully expect this to be a total circus. ---

I’ve thought the situation over, and I’ll toast it with the beer I have in the fridge, and pick up a bottle tomorrow after work. I think this is the most mature decision I have ever made, but I appreciate your suggestion! ETA: And yours, Spoons! ---

Apparently the DA’s office wanted an arrest tomorrow, but the Secret Service needed more time to coordinate the move. > **[Manhattan’s DA wanted a Friday Trump arrest.
