It will probably be late if it's today since the GJ has to hear from Trump's witness and then Cohen again.

Assuming nobody is killed or badly injured, I really want to see Trump arrested... primarily to see the right wing freakout when it happens.

Be careful what you wish for....

This is glorious news. Hopefully he'll be convicted for this and other violations and is finally held accountable. He has always managed to escape over the last 40 years with all the nonsense. Enough is enough.

I'm only worried about violence. Outside of that, bring it on.

I’d recommend you listen to Bannon’s War Room podcast if you want to hear what they’re planning. I’m glad I’m not in NYC today if this is true.

If Bannon or anyone else with a significant following openly calls for violence or anything that exceeds a lawful protest, respective individuals should immediately be charged and arrested.

Could you possibly give me a very brief rundown?

Because those worked so well on 1/6.

From what he said, they’re planning protests at individual precincts. The young republicans of New York and the New York GOP are helping to organize (though the NY GOP isn’t involved).

Don’t worry guys. George Santos will be there and he’s ex-military. He will make sure it’s peaceful.

Stone mentioned on a stream the FL governor’s mansion but not sure if he’s full of it.

From the sounds of it, the after-party is the main event.

...but not Tuesday?

This GJ meets Monday and Wednesday so they'd have to be called in special to indict Tuesday, so he'd probably just wait until Wednesday.

Biden seems confident it will happen today:

House wants NY DA Bragg to answer for ‘politically motivated’ Trump case


The chairmen of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees on Monday demanded that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg hand over documents and testify about “what plainly appears to be a politically motivated” prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

...

The request for Bragg’s testimony could become a subpoena if he doesn’t comply.

I expect that such a subpoena would be easily quashed.  Congress has no jurisdiction over a state DA, nor is there a "legitimate legislative interest" that would allow them to compel testimony.

their letter:

“If these reports are accurate, your actions will erode confidence in the evenhanded application of justice and unalterably interfere in the course of the 2024 presidential election,” Jordan and Comer wrote in the letter, which was also signed by House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-Wis.).

And what legislation, specifically, are they considering that's relevant?

"Legitimate legislative interest" doesn't mean there has to a specific legislation pending. Bragg's testimony would aid general consideration of whether and how to legislate on election laws or local DA's ability to target federal elections, such as presidential campaigns

Is your argument that people running for president should be above the law?

Fox News says the arrest may be virtual, due to security concerns.

Is it your argument that local DAs can use politically motivated prosecutions to interfere with national elections?

Even the most woke leftists acknowledge that Bragg has an extremely weak case

If it's a weak case, then Trump will be acquitted.  Let the judicial system work the way it's supposed to work.
