Can't one of the Secret Service agents do it?  They don't work for him.  He doesn't sign their checks.

 

The article says there are negotiations with the SS. I think they need to hire a porn star.

Do you believe this? I don't.

We've see. This act multiple times before.   He talks tough about testifying then never does.   I absolutely believe he was talking tough about testifying

Still waiting for the SS dude to testify under oath against Hutchison

The red hats are already convinced and are shoveling their money in Trump's direction, so SS guy doesn't have to testify.

He’d better have some decent personal security, because I can envision any number of MAGA loyalists (who must recognize the really precarious position DJT finds himself in this evening) taking steps to eliminate any possibility of “loose lips” sinking the S.S. Trump.

I'd hate for someone to attack him with a hammer.

Talk about a pretty sweet deal: they could literally shoot the guy dead at high noon on Fifth Avenue and, in the eyes of the Foxified universe, successfully pin it on Antifa.

I saw a reference to a clip of Patel on one of those fringe sites/news channels saying we need to defund the FBI/DOJ.  So I'm not sure about his cooperation.  Maybe it's one of those things you say one thing on TV and another under oath.

Wonder if this leaking with help democrats.  Republicans have focused the mid-terms on the economy but that means less attention on Trump and by gosh, can't let that happen!

[chasfh]

By way of reminder, Trump is an overt litmus test for this campaign. His campaign-stealing is the #1 trait hundreds of candidates are embracing, and they are actively vying for his endorsements by clamoring to show up at his rallies. So please, let’s not pretend he is simply a retired statesman trying to live his life in peace and privacy.

Talk talk is all he's got.  It's his entire schtick.  And his followers fall for it every time.

On the other hand, it’s not as though Trump talk talk is just a big nothing. It is having dramatic real-work effects.

When he declares he'll lose all RNC legal funding...

He must really think this would stop the indictments

Do we know it won’t? Honest question.

Lawful Good rules-adhering paladins like Merick Garland might just need to meet up with some chaotic good hobbit thieves to do the right thing.

if there is some stupid memo written decades ago that says presidential candidates cannot be charged with a crime to protect them from politicized DOJ, Garland should literally burn that memo on TV, and proclaim the American people deserve to be protected from criminals

So now does Rupert Murdoch tell Tucker Carlson to start mocking Trump and boosting DeSantis?

So now, less than a week later, is this still true?  It seems like now, shooting guys on Fifth Avenue might have some consequences after all.  If Rupert Murdoch is giving him a wedgie, how far behind can Fox News be?

The time is right for an indictment, right now.  No reason to keep stalling.  Those riots that were supposed to happen if he was indicted?  Protests will happen, but not with enough people to even block a street.

In the eyes of a Foxified universe? Sure. To the rest of us? Definitely not. The trick lies in who’s got the power to exert their will over the other at a given time.

We all want Trump to get indicted months, even years ago. When Merrick Garland does, he better have all his ducks lined up in a perfect little row, because he has exactly one shot to get it exactly right. Because you know what they say: you go after the king, you best not miss.

I know we are talking avoid indictments, but in 2016 both candidates were under fbi investigation during the race.   I don't recall anyone every saying Hillary couldn't be indicted but she was a Democrat and a woman so the law is probably different for her
