It's not even 1:30 in the afternoon Honolulu time. That means the three "sources" still have over 10 hours to be correct on the Wednesday prediction.

the recall could be good or bad.

The “bad” would be if DA is afraid Cohen might be discredited by past lying. “Good” would be if they are just tying up a few loose ends before ending jury.

My conclusion, they don’t have the slightest idea.

The fact that they had police barricades deployed was telling to me. So maybe this is it. Who knows.

They may be getting ready to tie up whatever loose ends are left before making their final ruling. That could explain Cohen being called back in.

Whatever happens tomorrow, I firmly believe I-Day is not far off.

See post no. 12, above. No source is mentioned, though, and I haven't been able to verify it, so I may have spoken too soon.

Wed Mar 22, 2023, 08:22 PM
Mar 2023
Important Ingredients You Will Need:
Flour – all-purpose
Baking Powder and Soda – This will add the thickness to the pancakes.
Sugar – Granulated is used in this recipe, but you can use any sweetener you prefer like stevia, coconut sugar, or brown sugar.
Butter – we listed unsalted and then add the salt in to control the amount of salt.
Egg – only 1 egg is needed.
Milk – Whole milk, reduced-fat, or skim milk will work in this recipe. For dairy-free pancakes, substitute non-dairy milk for almond or oat milk.
Vanilla Extract – this will add a nice flavor to the pancakes.


Directions
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add wet ingredients.
Whisk until smooth.
Pour the batter on a heated pan on both sides until golden.
Serve with maple syrup, honey or fruit and enjoy!

There aren't even any amounts given for the dry ingredients.

Nothing unusual about meeting on schedule. Not meeting today was an exception, but not significant.

23. Yep

We don't know the purpose of the meeting, they could meet to take more witness testimony. Plus, even if they were meeting to deliberate whether to indict, it doesn't mean they will finish those deliberations and vote tomorrow. Even if they did vote to indict tomorrow, Alvin Bragg still has to decide whether or not to file the charges (that seems very likely if the GJ indicts). If Bragg files charges, formal notice still has to be made to the defendant. Love him or hate him (yeah we all know where we stand on that point), Trump is as high a profile defendant as there is, those guys usually get offered the chance to surrender peacefully and avoid a perp walk. Bragg's prosecutors and Trump's defense team would likely negotiate the terms of the surrender. All of that would take more time than is likely to be completed this week.

My point of all this, to both the optimists and the pessimists in the audience, is this: You Ain't Likely To Know One Way Or The Other How This Is Going To Go From Anything You See This Week. It will take longer than that. How much longer? Beats the hell out of me. My guess is next week at the earliest, I have no special insight into what step Bragg is on or how many more steps he plans to take. My guess is just that, A Wild Ass Guess.

My own wild ass guess is that it will be relatively soon (next week wouldn't surprise me), but this week is almost over for all intents and purposes, or it will be when the GJ meets tomorrow.

It's hard to resist trying to guess what every little thing that happens might mean (I suck at resisting that temptation myself), but it's best not to get too caught up in it.

Because if he’s arrested in the middle of the day, you know he’ll make a big spectacle of it and sell his sob story and overuse hyperbole to his MAGA brainwashed fan base.

I wonder if these prosecutors realize that every delay helps Trump and is exactly what he wants.
