> [@PhillyGuy](#): > > Carlson repeatedly baited Trump with questions about future violence, but DJT AFAIK didn’t say anything that could lead to a his own contempt jailing. Is it possible the interview underwent some editing? Trump’s attorneys are derelict in their duty if they didn’t listen in off-camera, and it would be very simple for them to object to some answers Trump gave and have Tucker re-tape certain parts. That’s more believable to me than the idea that Trump did not respond in his usual way to all the bait Tucker was throwing his way. ---

CNN is showing Trump leaving Bedminster for the airport. Huge motorcade, all kinds of flashing lights, as usual. I’m imagining Trump thinking, “I have the best motorcades. Nobody has better motorcades than me!” One vehicle in it was an ambulance—has this been SOP in the past? Well, I guess it adds to the flashing lights. ---

def. pencil it in. as discovery hits the defence teams things may change right quickly. house republicans are trying to get into ga’s business. i’m sure they will give them the same answer as manhattan did, along with a “bless your heart” in there some where.

They gotta look like they’re doing _something_, the base demands it. Even if they know it won’t actually accomplish anything. ---

I don’t think so. That photo and video is from New Jersey. It would be interesting to speculate on which state, Georgia or New Jersey, has the biggest motorcade for him. ---
