Another nothing burger.

Except this time, it's DJT spreading the fake news.

He's such an attention ***** that he can't help it.

I've told people this for a long time. When it comes to attention, Trump is the pig and attention is the mud.

If Trump only wanted attention he would be back on Twitter

Checking in to see if Trump was arrested….

I have 11 threads of Desantis v. Trump to catch up on since yesterday.

I wonder how much money Trump raised for his legal defense fund?

Looks to me like he called a bluff and came out on the winning side of this deal.

To me, a totally legal moron, the grand jury not even meeting today says they have nothing to think about. It's says to me that Bragg is crapping his pants wondering what to do.

---

There was supposed to be a witness today. Maybe the witness cancelled so the sesson was cancelled? Cohen was not called yesterday even though he was there and available.

Could be Cohen was scheduled to rebut Costello but thought better of it?

'Game-Changer' Costello Testimony May Have Sunk Manhattan DA's Case Against Trump, Dershowitz Says

Quote:

---

On Monday, former federal prosecutor Robert Costello testified in front of a Manhattan grand jury over matters related to a $130,000 hush money payment to a porn star in 2016. Costello told the jury that former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, expected to be Bragg's main witness in any case against Trump, "couldn't tell the truth if you put a gun to his head."

---

Quote:

---

"I think that Bragg now only has two possible results from that. Number one, he can say, 'alright, I'm going to try to make the case without Cohen.' He cannot use Cohen as a witness anymore. That would be unethical because of the testimony that Costello gave," Dershowitz said. "Or he could say, 'look, I have to drop the case.' He may not be able to make it without Cohen. But if he can't make it without Cohen, he can't make it, because no ethical prosecutor is allowed to put on as a witness somebody who has told the lies and has contradicted himself so much."

---

Quote:

---

Costello told the grand jury on Monday that Cohen had said that the hush money payments were his idea, not Trump's. Costello also lambasted prosecutors for "cherry-picking" evidence to show the grand jury that gave a false view of what actually happened. "They seemed clearly one-sided and not after the truth," Costello told The New York Times afterward.

---

Quote:

---

"I think that Bob Costello it's a game changer. I think maybe that's a reason for the delay here. I think ethical experts are now telling Bragg, 'wait a minute, you cannot use Cohen,'" said Dershowitz. "But if you can't make it without Cohen, you cannot bring this charge."

Well then he didn't get what he wanted and you should be happy, right?

DeSantis >>> Trump >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any dem

I have been unimpressed with DeSantis response to the left concerning the Trump arrest. Typical blowhard, much like his stance on arming Ukraine. I am expecting a "I was against it before I was for it" statement before too long.

Stupid take. He explicitly said it is bull**** and nothing but politcal bull**** all while finally taking a shot at Trump for Trump's stupid ***** Either you're a liberal trying to cast doubt on DeSantis or you're a Trump is the only way type.

Either way, your take is moronic.

Trump absolutely wants to be indicted. It is the ultimate martyr move for him and possibly the only thing that might give him a chance in '24 bc there will likely be a defacto rally around him (well not him but on behalf of republicans in general to defend against this political attack). Of all the things he could be indicted on, this is the most ridiculous one.

Pretty sure its troll act at this point

"Trumps wants to be indicted"…is about the goofiest thing I heard all day.

Trump raised 1.5 million since announcing his Tuesday arrest. Say what you want about him, but the man can rake in the $$.'

Peanuts compared to the millions the Dems have raked in by promising their supporters to 'get' Trump.

Trump doesn't need the money, but I'm sure this Manhattan DA and others know they can move up the ladder with this these wasted witch hunts...because there are people willing to pay for more of it.

He was able to raise 1.5 million just by saying it was gonna happen.

Think about the possibility if it does happen.

How about that...

BREAKING: A 2018 Letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyer states that Cohen used his own personal funds to pay $130,000 to Stormy Daniels and that the Trump Org nor Campaign was a party to the transaction did not reimburse Cohen for the payment directly or indirectly. pic.twitter.com/ZaHMndvQIT

So Dersh has come to this conclusion because he's seen the indictments and evidence? Or he's just trying to get hits on Fox.

Like they were going to get Hillary and Obama? lol

Costello told the GJ that Cohen was bat **** crazy…

There is supposedly dissension in the DA's office as to whether or not there is even a case to be had at this point…

Still waiting.

Is it a Brady violation in front of a grand jury? I thought a prosecutor could selectively present whatever evidence they wanted to a grand jury?

I will say at it again…

We, as a country, should not be indicting a former president of any crimes short of murder or high treason, and if those are indeed the charges, there better be rock-solid, indisputable evidence that is beyond reproach…

Like I posted earlier, Trump called their bluff. They never had a case.

How's that charge against Biden and his crime family coming along?

Pretty sure they aren't arresting him. Dems always blow their load.

How do you "call the bluff" of a grand jury?

This is not good news for Trump

1. it is just another example of him crying wolf and raising hysteria and then nothing happens

2. he is counting on sympathy from his Always Fans to help his campaign

3. he likely designed the entire post about Bragg just to bring DeSantis to his defense, or to be able to attack DeSantis for NOT coming to his defense

4. Trump wants to be charged with a very weak case, so that when he wins he can then say that EVERY case against him is just politics
