BREAKING: Manhattan grand jury not meeting today. Indictment likely delayed until next week.

Yet this raises a possibility that Manhattan DA has been told to stand down — because DOJ could indict Trump on Mar-a-Lago documents as early as tomorrow.

I’m gonna get drunk this weekend after getting the pool and lanai ready for warm weather

[Walleye]

1. My only consolation is this point is that Trump is sweating it a lot more than we are

[MLAA]

7. Yes!

[Bettie]

9. I doubt it

so far, he's never seen consequences for anything beyond a fine.

He very likely doesn't think he'll ever see any for anything.

He might be right; I hope he's wrong.

[Walleye]

12. I think that just getting indicted is a much bigger consequence than he has ever experienced

I’m sure he never expected that the FBI would get a search warrant and come to Mar-a-Lago either. I’m sure he was counting on that they wouldn’t

[Bettie]

16. We shall see if he gets indicted

still hoping for the best, but (mostly) prepared for him to skate on it all.

[live love laugh]

2. Who tells the DA to stand down?

[Roland99]

3. DOJ? (Garland)

[hlthe2b]

14. Oh fer Dawg's sakes. See my post downstream. DOJ has no authority over Manhattan DA.

Request only.

[dem4decades]

22. What bullshit, Lucy is holding another football for Charlie.

Who the fuck believes that Trump isn't going to be indicted in NY because a "bigger indictment " is coming?

The guy is above the law.

[BannonsLiver]

33. Oh we've got dozens of very naive people here who think he will face justice

And if you question it they get big mad. I’m sure the “stand down” theory fits in with their daily rationalizations that things are happening and all the doubters will get theirs…any day now. 🙄

[dem4decades]

41. Yeah, he's going to jail for sure now. Orange jumpsuit, perp walk, handcuffs sorry but who buys t

[MissMillie]

18. IF there were such a conspiracy...

(c'mon we really going to go down that road, like the RWNJs do?)

It would probably be NY Attorney General.

Honestly, with the goods she's got on TFG in her civil suit, do you really think she'd blow that to collude w/ anyone?

[cilla4progress]

4. I can't even really

Get out of bed.

Drained and exhausted.

[newdayneeded]

36. It's OK, get out of bed.

In the end fuckhead lost the election, and I really think his chance of winning the next election are getting less. Cheer up!

[cilla4progress]

40. thanks for the encouragement,

newday!!

[John1956PA]

5. Maybe Bragg's assertiveness has gotten the DOJ to pick up its pace on the documents case.

Thanks for posting, and take care.

[gratuitous]

6. How wrong was the former guy?

He sure had that totally messed up. Cried wolf again, no wolf again. One of these days the media will stop rising like so many brook trout to his baiting.

[Renew Deal]

8. Merry Fitzmas!

[maptap22]

10. I give up too

I have lost all faith in our justice system. Definitely different rules for the rich and powerful (and white). Makes me incredibly sad.

[Sky Jewels]

29. No, no, see, this time Lucy really is going to hold the football steady...

[hlthe2b]

11. DOJ can request. They cannot DEMAND. Have people really forgotten the limitations of Federal

authority? The Manhattan DA is NOT SDNY (Southern District of New York--part of DOJ). They are independent as are the other state/local jurisdictions.

Yes, DOJ can make requests. They can even pressure and try to manipulate or negotiate. But they cannot ORDER state and local AGs to stand down.

[inthewind21]

17. Forgotton?

Did people ever know it in the first place?

[Roland99]

20. Perhaps not the best word but "told" is diff from "demand" imo

[hlthe2b]

24. It is another term for demand--implies authority over the situation which does not exist.

[MissMillie]

13. I think if it were a GA or Federal indictment, I'd be on pins and needles too

But this one just feels like small potatoes to me.

It'll happen when it happens. Not much point in getting all worked up over stuff that isn't in your control.

(Of course, the same can be said about GA and Federal indictments.)

[Walleye]

23. True, I'm just happy the asshole is miserable at this point.His mobs and hordes aren't showing up

[inthewind21]

15. Breaking news

Random guy on Twitter says. THAT is the Oh FFS!

[Roland99]

19. Random dude??

Lawyer, fighter for democracy, advocate for innovators and creators. Prosecuted Trump University @ NY AG. Commentator @ MSNBC CNN.

[Fiendish Thingy]

31. And has tweeted false information at least twice this week alone. Nt

[Leghorn21]

38. Yeah, he tweeted something ages ago, and I had never seen him before...

- and whatever it was he tweeted was GREAT NEWS!! I was deliriously happy!!💥

But his “news” was also bogus, so I said bye Tristan, I hardly knew ye

Nope, no Tristan for me 👎

[inthewind21]

34. Yeah

Random dude.

[brush]

21. I hope that's the case. I also hope Bragg isn't backing down...

after all this hype on the Stormy Daniels payoff case.

[Takket]

25. The tweeter is just speculating I assume

Not that he actually knows DOJ is going to indict.

[Ohio Joe]

26. I don't know who Tristan Snell is but... That is one massive leap

With Corcoran is testifying tomorrow in the documents case and that has the potential to open up more to look at but... Even if it does not open up more, I've seen no indication Corcoran is the final witness. While I think they are close to done, I'd be surprised if they finished tomorrow. So... I don't buy this tweet one bit.

[brooklynite]

27. There is NO reason Bragg would be told to "stand down"

Nothing he does would prevent an indictment by DOJ.

[Ocelot II]

28. Oh, come on! Whoever Tristan Snell is, he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about

because DoJ has no authority to tell the Manhattan DA to stand down. The federal and state systems are separate and independent, and DoJ can't and wouldn't interfere in any way with Bragg's case; there is NO possibility that is happening. Also, there are any number of entirely innocuous reasons why the grand jury isn't considering the case today. Grand juries are seated to hear more than one case at a time, and the delay could be related to another case and might involve nothing more sinister than somebody's scheduling conflict.

Get a grip, people.

[Fiendish Thingy]

30. Tristan Snell appears to be tweeting out his ass

Is any other source independently (as opposed to retweeting Snell) reporting that DOJ is ready to indict tomorrow?

[Ocelot II]

32. It is disheartening that people are willing to take seriously the pronouncements

of some rando on Twitter. This numpty seems not to understand even the basic machinery of the federal vs. the state government, and so should not be trusted to deliver any credible information about these cases.

[Fiendish Thingy]

35. It's even worse, because he's not a rando

Former NY prosecutor who now works for MSNBC, which explains why his tweets get any attention at all.

[Ocelot II]

37. Seriously?

Why would he say something so obviously wrong?

[Fiendish Thingy]

42. Attention. Nt

[inthewind21]

39. It's more

than just disheartening. It's mind boggling. On a site where the media and social media is blamed for "misinformation" on a near constant basis. (Which I in no way deny that is accurate) We have Twitter splashed as a source at a minimum of 50 times a day. We have the cable news shows on a live comentary of Guest X said... and when ... doesn't happen, it's back to the "it's all the media's fault". It's an endless loop.
