WaPo: Vance Has Convened A Grand Jury To Consider Trump Indictment | Talking Points Memo

Hopefully Jr. Eric and Ivanka aren’t involved. It would be a shame if they lost their inheritance as well as being indicted. So sad.

Though I am nothing if not pessimistic, having Donald sweat is worth a lot, for pure schadenfreude if nothing else. And I really don’t believe that, now that he’s out of office, he can avoid everything forever. Even if this isn’t the tolling of the bell.

Here’s where we all end up severely disappointed…

Nah, not this year. This year has been delivering win on top of win on top of win for the good guys. 2021 is the un-2020.

How much longer before he declares Mar-a-Lago it’s own nation-state? I’d be fine with it if it means all the deplorables have to move there. But he doesn’t want them either.

Ah gunboat diplomacy. In this case, I am for it.

I wonder how many objects at Mar-a-lago will be thrown and broken in the next 24?

Hey, having Dad’s assets thrown into receivership is probably their only chance for seeing a dime anyway. The more self-aware among them* would probably be rooting for Vance to nail Dad to the wall (so long as they don’t end up there alongside him).

* This statement does not attempt to suggest that such a self-awareness is present among any of the individuals in question.

Rump looks like a ham sangwitch to me.

The Post described Vance’s probe as “expansive,”

That’s why it’s taking so long. I imagine trying to find a stopping point has been about like putting a quarter in a slot machine that turns out to be the hottest machine in Nevada. At some point, you’ve got to take your winnings and go, but damn this thing just keeps paying again and again.

@highway1

After so many disappointments in the legal pursuit of the Trumps I’m hesitant to get my hopes up, but this looks promising.

This is the first time he was ever in any real legal jeopardy. As long as that DOJ memo was in place, Barr was AG, and he was still president, in hindsight, it was probably never realistic to think he’d go down for anything involved in the Mueller probe. He no longer has any of those protections.

“I’ll take ‘Game Shows’ for $200, Alex.”

I don’t think Vance worked this thing for two years in order to produce nothing.

If you’re hoping that trump will be pilloried in Times Square, well that probably won’t happen.

fat donnie may not be a ham sandwich, but he is certainly a ham, and a tube steak berder.

FIFY!

I am so sick of the media going crazy at every time the something happens on Trump’s legal problems. We have heard about this for 4 years or more, Yet nothing actually happens, Just talk, talk, talk, and I am sick of it. I wish the media would just shut up about Trump, until he is arrested. I don’t care about anything else, Again, this has gone on for four years, and nothing has happened, so shut up until he is arrested.

I can’t love that enough! hahahahahahaha It’s true.

Things do change, my dears. It’s the only thing we can actually rely on. hahahahahahahaha

Sure willing to celebrate over here a bit.

A sunshine break in the clouds is always appreciated.

And this does not have to be the issue that gets through all the way. It will be a drain on him. And it is not the last lawsuit.

He’s bottomlessly corrupt. We’re still barely scratching the surface.

@tena

Don’t sacrifice that goat just yet. It happens sometimes that GJ’s don’t indict, but you can be damn sure that with a fish this big Vance is damn sure he has the evidence to get a GJ to indict the motherfucker.

You have to be mixing your metaphors somewhere in there.

I was actually mildly pleased to hear about this. If somebody forced you to click on the story that was naughty of that person. The situation changed in a meaningful way about four months ago. Please remember that past performance is not indicative of future results.
