Trump Indictment ( includes NY AG and Fed documents case ) (1 Viewer)

[SteveSBrickNJ]

Former President D. Trump has been indicted by a New York Grand Jury. There will be much to talk about on this topic because this is just the first step in a lengthy process.
Possibly it is worthy of its own thread here rather than posting about Trump's indictment in already existing threads?

Manhattan’s DA wanted a Friday Trump arrest. Trump’s team said no.

Secret Service needed more time to prepare, according to the ex-president’s legal team.

The media needs to cover this. The sitting President used a burner phone routed through Egypt to call US state legislators and pressure them to overturn the election? And I’m just now reading about it?

Trump had help. He probably doesnt know what burner phone is. he is a clueless moron. 45 % of our nation will still vote for him. History says great nations never stay great forever. The Ottoman empire tried,but eventually collapsed. I am really worried about our future,

We need to adapt and evolve. Societies collapse when they don't adapt and evolve. That's what's the fatal flaw in MAGA. They want to devolve back to what we once were. The only way our society survives is if we adapt and move forward. Most of the people in our society know this and feel it in their bones, that's why "we're not going back" resonates with so many people and is such a powerful rallying cry.

Can you believe that early in Harris's campaign advisors told her to drop "we're not going back," because it was a loser? Just goes to show that even some "liberals/progressives" can sometimes be too conservative.

Yeah, and someone had to communicate to the state legislators to actually pick up a call that comes across as “Spam Risk, Egypt”.

A federal judge on Monday granted Donald Trump’s lawyers’ request to push back the deadline for filing their view of whether the former president is immune from prosecution in the 2020 election subversion case until two weeks after the presidential election.

Trump’s attorneys had asked to have until Nov. 21, instead of Nov. 7, to file an up-to-180-page brief arguing why Trump’s efforts to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory should be immune from criminal prosecution, citing disruptions caused by Hurricane Milton to the work of several of Trump’s Florida-based attorneys. U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan granted the request hours later, removing the possibility of the filing landing almost immediately after next Tuesday’s contest, when officials might still be counting votes.

The blockbuster filing is expected to be key part of the criminal case against Trump, which special counsel Jack Smith is seeking to salvage after the Supreme Court’s landmark July ruling establishing that presidents generally cannot be criminally tried for their official acts, with some exceptions.

“Specifically, the impacts of the hurricane, which remain ongoing for certain counsel, have substantially slowed progress on the Response,” wrote Trump attorneys led by Todd Blanche and John Lauro. “This, in turn, has limited counsel’s ability to thoroughly consider the Court’s extensive classified and unclassified discovery order and prepare an appropriate [motion].”

Lauro and Blanche noted that Smith has continued to turn over classified evidence in the case as recently as Monday, requiring lawyers to travel to a secure facility to review them. Trump’s attorneys also asked to push back completion of arguments over the immunity issue, evidence, and a separate challenge to the special counsel’s appointment and funding, from Dec. 5 to Dec. 19, making any oral argument or decision unlikely before the New Year. Chutkan granted all the requests...........

I hope they have a industrial cleaner on hand to sterilize it all.
