Of course that won’t stop Trump (or his supporters) for calling him a tool of the drug cartels every time he rules against him.

So far Trump seems to be railing against the Judge’s daughter primarily. Stay classy Donald.

So presumably apperance for processing sometime before that. CNN is already running a free (unrestricted) livestream.

Last I read, CNN reported that photographs may be taken in the court room before proceedings begin.

Man, no kidding.

I’d heard he was threatening Bragg’s wife and the judge. Hadn’t heard about the judge’s daughter. That’s disgusting.

@Aspenglow, maybewe should have a special follow-along thread for today’s events? I’m bouncing between a few threads here.

Just a suggestion.

I’m afraid we’d just be bouncing between _three_ threads, then!

Let’s stick with this thread re the actual indictment proceeding. But there is still information that will belong in the larger thread, so we may be bouncing back and forth a bit today. But after today’s indictment proceeding, I plan to adjourn to the older Stormy Daniels thread.

Does that make sense?

CNN is showing a still photo of Trump just before he entered the courthouse. Fist raised … and he looks _pissed!_

interesting tidbit that was just mentioned on cnn. the usual lunch break is from 1-2:15pm. the timing of his surrender makes more sense now. it would be a down time at the building.
