If Trump decides at the Last Minute

So lets say trump decides to turn himself in late Friday and after processing at the Fulton Jail, Judge is gone home for the day; is there a chance he may have to wait until Monday in Jail? Seems that what most defendants that are booked on a weekend have to do......

Thoughts?

The later after that anyone comes to the party, the better a dog and pony show anyone's lawyers will need to have lined up for the judge to avoid being mentioned unfavorably in a bench warrant

Show at 12:01P and "My client had an itchy nose" might work

Not there at 5P? The story's probably gotta be good

The Secret Service will make the arrangements. And no, Trump will not have to wait his turn. The SS will not tolerate that.

12. Sorry, but SS has no say over a county jail.

The SS may voice to speed things up, but they are just secret service agents with no power within a county jail. Their only power is, security of the soon to be orange jumpsuit moroon. County jails runs their own processes, if outside sources intercede into their own processes, disruption of their system may occur. So therefore, i doubt the SS will do any further then just escort the clown through the media circus into the halls of the Fulton County Jail.

The best we can hope for is an unflattering mug shot, and we might not even get that.

The actual time required to do all of the booking procedures is not much; it’s the waiting that takes all the time. Trump will not be made to wait. It’s a damn shame, but I’m not holding my breath for anything different.

13. Most likely a couple of hours.

I would say most likely couple of hours. This is a county jail, so they will most likely do the exact procedures in processing..... remember, no one is above the law, no privileges. I am betting, they will treat him as the guy or woman next to him. One at a time.

...until after he gets this over with.

Otherwise, he just might talk himself into not being released on bond?
