Wow, he's so macho!

[senseandsensibility]

OMG, I'm laughing my ass off. Instead of presenting his evidence at a news conference (which the media pretended was a real thing) he's going to sit down with TUCKER. What a man.

[republianmushroom]

1. neither one is the man

[TheBlackAdder]

6. Tucker gets to hang out with his BFF. And Trump gets to hang out with a guy he knows hates him.

8. I forgot about that recording or text

or whatever it was that revealed tuckum's true feelings.

2. Obviously they plan on laying out the facts for the American people

And by facts I mean wild unsubstantiated fantasy and by American people I mean the folks living in a deluded world of CT.

[senseandsensibility]

3. You're right

and I'm on record as doubting this "press conference" would ever happen so it was disappointing to see journalists I somewhat respect go along with it as though it was really going to happen.

[getagrip_already]

4. and thats different legally how?

Is tucker in some kind of first amendment bubble that makes anything tfg says inadmissable in court?

If he obstructs justice is it just aspirational because it's a podcast?

Did he fire his lawyers or just pay them early?

[senseandsensibility]

5. You make some really good points

The media is presenting this decision as him "finally listening to his lawyers." But the chance of him saying something that can be used against him on Tucker's show is probably higher than at a regular press conference.

13. Whatever he says is admissible in the criminal trials against him. n/t

7. if we don't hear by Monday that this is also cancelled

I would be surprised.

9. Was never going to happen, and doubtful tfg wanted it to happen. Just wanted to wave some stuff

around and claim victory. And even on Tucker's show he'll say he can't talk about the GA case, but will whine and complain about everything else. He may hold up a report with supposed 'certified' data, but that's it. He can't talk about the details because there's nothing there.

Remember the table top full of stacks of blank papers claiming, IIRC, that this was the health care plan? The guy is a charlatan. Smoke and mirrors. Loud and proud with no reason to be either.

10. Shouldn't he actually be sitting down and talking to the sheriff?

[Deuxcents]

11. He doesn't have time..he's too busy playing victim

On tv, golfing, flying off to a rally and ranting against judges and grand juries.

[pwb]

12. I can't wait to miss that.

14. :) Well, I'm happy that the expected disappointment of a cancelled presser,

AND probably skipping the first Republican debate (hosted by Fox News and the RNC), now gives way to hope for some Fun with Tucker, if that happens. If so, I trust DoJ staff to be studying every word and movement.

Of course, real NEWS media are obliged to cover tRump's announcements factually as news. He's an ex-POTUS indicted for trying to overthrow the government who's still working on his coup d'etat, a fair amount carried out in public.

Interpretive media, never to be mistaken for news journalism, provide a whole range of takes for every possible flavor preference. My favorites guessed he'd be persuaded to cancel but really, really hoped he wouldn't.

There's also speculation that he could grab attention to himself by turning himself in in Fulton County on the day of the debate. The sheriff did say they're open 24 hours a day.

15. K & R

This is seriously hilarious
