The deliberations are secret, the judge can issue statements from the room while deliberations are ongoing in a different room.
Yep. Anticipation.
The jury deliberation room is a separate room from the judge’s courtroom. Sounds like the reporters are set up in the judge’s courtroom, awaiting the results of the grand jury’s vote.
Msnbc is reporting that it was decided not to have the last few witnesses and go to voting.
When a major story like this is breaking, I’m often curious to see how Fox News – whence MAGAts get all their news – is handling it. And the answer is: they’re not. There’s not a peep out of them on the home page. For Fox News and the MAGAts, nothing is happening. There is, however, a big lead story about how some ex-NFL football player turns out to be adopted, and one about a woman who slipped on some prosciutto and is suing the restaurant. Also several about how evil Joe Biden and Hunter Biden both are. Such is the news in Trumpland. Whereas CNN, being a failed liberal news organization, completely missed out on the prosciutto story!
I love that they have been interviewing witnesses all day, could continue interviewing witnesses all night but have now reached a point of saying, “yeah, we’ve got this”.
Here’s hoping some pre-trial detention is in order for Mr. Trump considering his threats to witnesses today.
Live feed! Live feed!
If anyone is reading this, they just opened up a live video feed to the inside of the courtroom. I think it’s coming soon.
With a judge on the bench!
Right now MSNBC is showing the judge’s courtroom, which is packed with reporters.
“Ché Alexander, the clerk of the Fulton County Superior Court, has sat down at the “criminal docket” desk of the clerk’s office.”
- NY Times
ETA: “According to the clerk, Ché Alexander, if an indictment is approved, someone will bring it up to this office and alert the clerk, and they will then walk it together up to the eighth-floor courtroom and deliver it to the judge.”
Live feed, judge on the bench, indictments should start very soon.
This is way more exciting than the other indictments.
That is happening now.
A+++, would indict again
The MSNBC live feed requires a sign-in so I’m watching this thread instead!
Here it is! That is a big stack of paper.
The commenting judge on msnbc says trump has logorrhea.
Entering courtroom

Man I wanna smoke a cigarette so bad right now.
I’m hitting the thc vape.
