Former President Donald Trump and the 18 co-defendants that were charged alongside him for various alleged attempts to overturn the result of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election have until Aug. 25 at noon to turn themselves in voluntarily, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis told reporters late Monday night after the indictment was made public.
I get the sense that Fanni Willis is going to cut the Gordian knot of the Trump bamboozlement force field. Hoping she won’t dither with “did Trump really mean it when he said I was a degenerate, corrupt crackhead who ought to be run out of town on a rail?” Put the cuffs on and open the door to the jail cell for him.
I have been wondering since reading about Rudy’s financial crunch…if he thought he was gonna actually be paid. He should have known that trump will not pay his bills even when dragged into court.
If she does it will take a while. With so many defendants in a single trial, and with most pursuing individual strategies to delay or acquit, this case will probably take longer to reach a jury than any of the others. And then the appeals, ugh. If we’re looking for one of these cases to convict Donald before the election, this probably isn’t the one to get our hopes up for.
What could be impactful is if for once, Donald gets a gag order when he’s arraigned, or shortly thereafter if he keeps up the online bashing and threats. The DOJ didn’t ask for it in the docs case and J6 case, but with witness tampering being one of the charges in the indictment it might actually happen with this one.
And if a gag order is imposed by a GA judge, there is at least a little more distance from claims of “Biden’s weaponized DOJ.” Maybe an easier sell for public perception if it’s done at the state level.
If we can believe the infamous hair tug on that late show TV appearance, then it’s stitched in place or implants and not a wig. So yeah, the ferret gets a mugshot too.
Just need to correct something here; he has normal-sized hands. The title once bestowed on him was “Short-fingered vulgarian.” Normal hands; short, stubby little fingers.
