First of all?
Donald Trump IS a serial liar….
So do NOT be at all surprised if he’s not supposed to be showing up for arraignment in NYC then…..
Second of all?
Trump’s lawyers have arranged for a lawyer to speak to the Manhattan Grand Jury in Trump’s behalf against Michael Cohn Trump’s old money ‘bag man’ on Monday….
One would suppose that there WILL be a actual annoucemnet from Trump when he will show up in court for the expected arraignment ……Report below is the Big Guy ain’t happy just anybody would be in his shoes….
House Speaker McCarthy has come to his senses and is urging NO PROTESTS for the event….
One can be sure that New York City and Federal cops will standing by for the event…..
New York Times: “At least one more witness is expected to testify in front of the grand jury… and even if the grand jury were to vote to indict the former president on Monday, a Tuesday surrender was unlikely, given the need to arrange timing, travel and other logistics.”
“One person with knowledge of the matter said that Mr. Trump’s advisers had guessed that it could happen around then, and that someone might have relayed that to the former president.”
Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) sought to tamp down Donald Trump’s call for protests in response to a possible arrest of the president in connection to a Manhattan District Attorney investigation, The Hill reports.
Said McCarthy: “I don’t think people should protest this stuff.”
New York Times: “The chain of events flowing from the 2006 encounter that the adult film star, Stormy Daniels, has said she had with the television personality, Donald Trump, has led to the brink of a historic development: the first criminal indictment of a former American president.”
“A Manhattan grand jury that is expected to vote soon on whether to indict Donald Trump may hear testimony Monday attacking the prosecution’s star witness,“ the New York Times reports.
“The testimony would come from a lawyer, Robert Costello, who would appear at the request of Mr. Trump’s lawyers, the people said. Mr. Costello was once a legal adviser to Michael Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former fixer, who has been a key witness for the Manhattan district attorney’s office.”
“Mr. Costello and Mr. Cohen had a falling out, and Mr. Costello would appear solely to undermine Mr. Cohen’s credibility, the people said.”
Haberman: Trump ‘very anxious’ about potential indictment in New York
New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman on Sunday said former President Trump is “very anxious” about possibly being indicted as part of a New York probe into an alleged hush-money payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels…
…
“Yes, two things can be true at once. He is aware that there are reasons to believe this could help him politically … But he does not want to face getting arrested, which is what happens when you get indicted. You get fingerprinted. You get brought in. You have to ask for bail. None of that is something that he is excited about,” Haberman said…..
