The Manhattan 'hush-money' grand jury has been told not to come in on Wednesday, a cancellation that comes on the brink of a possible historic indictment vote of former President Donald Trump, according to two law enforcement officers.

And while nothing beyond Wednesday is set in stone, it is unlikely that the grand jury will meet at all this week, said one of the law enforcement sources, who spoke to Insider on condition of anonymity.

They may be shifting their schedule in secret. Who knows? Maybe they'll vote on Saturday morning or some other weird time.

11. So it could be days, weeks or never before we hear their ruling? Great, balloons are deflating.

12. Could this be a deliberate lie, like a decoy, to prevent violence?

How dare they do that without getting permission first!

15. Perhaps they are negotiating.

IMO, I think Trump slides on this. If this is essentially about illegally paying hush money to keep a skeleton in his closet closed until after an election, does it warrant an actual trial? Sure lots of laws were broken, but that doesn't stop men like Trump from admitting to something, paying a hefty fine, and walking free.

Tampering with the results of a National Election in Georgia and other States, and inciting violence and a (failed) insurrection against the US government is more actionable. Massive tax evasion is actionable.

After all, breaking the emoluments clause was not enough to be actionable and that was well documented.

17. Could the reason be

Bragg has enough to indict him already????

18. Gotta have time for the grand jurors to negotiate their book deals.
