If you want to know when Trump gets arrested---IF he gets indicted----

ask someone else because, like everyone else not named "Bragg", I DON'T KNOW.

So far, the only "person" who's said Trump "will be arrested Tuesday" is Donald J. Trump. And,---- how many verified lies has he told? How many tens of thousands?

Did he "build the wall"? Did Mexico pay for anything? Did he---oh, hell, what's the use?

I assume that Trump saying something, without multiple objective other corroborating sources, means absolutely nothing. If it turns out to be true, it was either an accident or it was somehow better than any lie he could come up with.

Just to blow the minds of Evilgelicals. They will all be in church with white Jesus so that will cut the armed protests in half.

Will that quiet the voices saying an indictment during Lent would somehow be an abomination?

Nope.

a Lutheran turned Catholic, and both denominationa are liturgical.

Most Evangelicals are non-liturgical. They recognize Christmas and Easter and that's about it. (Some of them refuse to all Easter "Easter" but call it "Resurrection Sunday" instead. Lent? Ash Wednesday? Annunciation? Ascension? Advent? All Saints Day? They may have heard the names but have no idea what they mean. They probably think Epiphany is a skin disease. (If they speak in tongues, they may have heard of Pentecost, but I wouldn't count on it.) They've heard of Saint Patrick's Day, but that's ethnic, not religious.

I'm not saying they aren't in chirch all the time, just that without liturgy one day is no different from another. I find this ironic, because without Epiphany and Peter's vision in Acts 10 (and a few odd scattered verses), no one not born Jewish would even be entitled to be a Christian.

… of imminent indictment to give him a chance to arrange for a “dignified” surrender.

That is generally the case for an arrest that would draw a lot of attention.

So, it is ENTIRELY possible that Bragg told Trump to prepare for his surrender. And Trump, losing his mind, had to spew his shit all over the place.

They would much prefer that he turn himself in. Better optics, and it makes their job much easier.

I think it is another case of Trump splattering out in a manner that indicates he is feeling the pressure.
