Speculation on today's GJ cancellation

[Another Jackalope]

Last night there was an unprecedented urgent filing with the DOJ, followed by an equally urgent DOJ examination of said filing. This morning the GJ hearing in New York is suddenly cancelled...

IF the two events are connected, WTF was in the Corcoran documents they were fighting over? It could be fairly heavy stuff.

Or it's a coincidence.

Yeah, that's it ... a coincidence.

I'll take "espionage" for $1000. Alex.

1. Sounds like new evidence here.

[JHB]

2. Just for clarity: GJ is Grand Jury, correct?

[Another Jackalope]

3. Yes indeed. nt

9. Apparently it's too much work to type out Grand Jury. n/t

14. Grand Jury,

My apologies for the offense.

4. I don't think Manhattan DA and DOJ are coordinating cases.

I heard it might have to do with questions about Tacopina and Stormy Daniels, but that the matter should be resolved fairly soon.

Hence the standby status for tomorrow.

6. Right.

If we apply rational thought, the fact that the world around NYC continues need not be cause for grasping at connections that do not exist.

5. What do you think might be in the Corcoran docs?

And how would that impact the NY GJ?

How does that connect to espionage. ??

7. In all fairness to the OP

there are a lot of Trump prosecutions going on, could have mixed in E. Jean Carroll, Letitia James, and Fani Willis.

8. No matter, I just want to hear the speculation.

I like connecting dots.

[Another Jackalope]

11. I freely admit this is a pure rectal pluck. My reasoning is:

The unprecedented urgency of last night's events.
The proximity in time of the two events.
IF they are connected it would take a very significant turn of events to cause the DOJ to make such a phone call to Bragg.
Corcoran was involved with the classified document shenanigans.
Trump has been in a position to betray his country with those documents.
Trump has no morals that would prevent him from doing so.

I know just as little as anyone else about these hermetically-sealed investigations. I'm just interested in scenarios that might explain/connect all the visible facts.

I'm just playing around.

18. WAG is allowed as far as I am concerned.

Wild Ass Guessing.

Actually it is not wild guessing at all.

Seems perfectly reasonable.

One dramatic unexpected, urgent, secret event happens last night regarding Trump's legal proceedings.
Then another dramatic, unexpected, secret event regarding Trump legal proceedings occurs today.

It certainly raises questions.

Are they related and how?

I also agree, for the DOJ to contact Bragg, it would have to be something quite serious.
The classified docs have to be considered.

I grew up in a military family during the Viet Nam war.
I have been a political junkie since JFK ran against Nixon.
My degrees are in political science and psychology.

The day I stop asking questions and connecting dots is the day they can shuffle me off to the nursing home.

10. What do the two cases have to do with each other?

I have not read that Evan Corcoran is involved in the Manhattan DA case at all.

[Another Jackalope]

12. There may not be a connection. I don't know of one. nt

13. Yesterday...

I saw it on at least two news shows but it wasn't as focused as the other topic of the day.

So, that crazy, grabby, mobby attorney who was on Ari Melber's show and tried to grab the paper from Ari, he is in a pickle.

That attorney, pinoccio or whatever his name is, had prior business, though brief, with Stormy Daniels so he should not be representing -45 in this case. I think it was at the beginning of this case or a related one.

And, Stormy submitted evidence to the Grand Jury about that yesterday.

Maybe that's it and chump has to find a new lawyer. Maybe Tiffany's available.

15. Remember also,

you can't represent a client if you are a target or witness of the same investigation.

[2naSalit]

17. And that too...

Though what was pointed out, I think by Andrew Weissman, is that by New York law, he cannot have inside info about her and represent the other side of the argument, it's a big thing there.

But your point is just as valid and has been used to gain testimony from Corchoran yesterday.

I'm talking about Pinoccio the thug who has been making the teevee rounds this past week. He has baggage that may disqualify him and bring legal problems on himself.

[gab13by13]

16. I don't see any connection

between the classified document case and the Stormy Daniels case, unless it has to do with the Trump attorneys.

I mean we know of several Trump people who were provided attorneys by Trump who represented Trump instead of the client. Cassidy Hutchinson was coached to perjure herself to protect Trump.

I hear about Trump's lawyers getting into all kinds of trouble but I am only seeing slaps on the wrists.
