For those asking what Time TFG turns himself in today, here's some info

Hours before his historic booking, Trump replaced one of his Atlanta-based attorneys, Drew Findling, with another high-powered counsel, Steven Sadow. Sources told CNN Findling’s performance was not a factor, while another familiar with Sadow called him the “best criminal defense attorney in Georgia.” Bond for Trump has been set at $200,000.

The Federal Aviation Administration has issued flight restrictions around the Fulton County jail Thursday from 6:45 p.m. until 9 p.m.

Trump faces 13 counts, including criminal conspiracy, false statements, filing false documents and violation of Georgia’s RICO Act. Willis’ indictment - which came after more than two years of investigation - charges Trump and his allies with an alleged vast criminal conspiracy to overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results.

At the jail, Trump will have his mugshot taken, the first in any of his four 2023 indictments. The indictment alleges the 19 co-defendants helped solicit fake electors to falsely swear that Trump instead of Joe Biden won the 2020 election in seven battleground states, including Georgia...

Here is the tweet from the WTOC11 reporter, where I found this info:

NEW: The FAA has issued a temporary flight restriction for the airspace around the Fulton County Jail from 6:45 this evening to 9:00 tonight.

The reason listed: “VIP”.

1. Bingo. Prime time.

The FAA established a TFR over the jail to prevent a news helicopter traffic jam.

[ZonkerHarris]

42. it's not the flex he thinks it is.

[FSogol]

2. Flight restrictions?

[blogslug]

3. Sadly

That probably means no drone/helicopter video of him walking into/out of the jail.

lol. not sure if balloon baby is banned

[onetexan]

20. I hope the guy in the jail suit is there

& the white bearded gentleman with his famous Traitor sign 😁

[riversedge]

12. I do not understand why trump gets special treatment.

[NYC Liberal]

13. I'm fine with it only because

if someone actually were to do something like crash a plane into the building or whatever to target him, lots of innocent people other than TFG would be hurt/killed too.

[Wonder Why]

19. It may not be him they are concerned about being attacked.

[onetexan]

21. THIS!!☝️plus given the public interest & the media swarm

Not to mention the RW demonstrators w guns, it may turn into a violent situation.

[Ocelot II]

30. It isn't special treatment for TFG. It's a safety precaution to prevent midair collisions

because otherwise the sky over the jail would be thick with news helicopters and drones, since the media have no common sense when it comes to sensational coverage. FAA creats TFRs all the time in these kinds of situations; it's for the safety of the public and not for TFG's benefit.

[GregariousGroundhog]

48. The TFR is only for ground level to 1000 feet above ground level

It seems to me that news helicopters would have cameras powerful enough to get a decent shot from 1000 feet. I suspect drones are the bigger concern?

4. Thank you! Saves me from keeping TV on mute all day. DU is SUCH a fount of knowledge!!!! nt

The Federal Aviation Administration has issued flight restrictions around the Fulton County jail Thursday from 6:45 p.m. until 9 p.m.

[onetexan]

23. Yup i'll watch Ahsoka 😎

[2naSalit]

5. Tattletale sign!

[Kennah]

6. In and out of the jail under cover of darkness. Clearly, he's retreating further.

[StarryNite]

8. I think it's the opposite.

He wants prime time exposure.

[Kennah]

10. He called for a big showing at his first two arraignments and didn't get it

He didn't make such a call for his third arraignment, and I haven't heard any such call now for his fourth.

That dog don't hunt.

[agingdem]

18. absolutely...maximum exposure...

can't fleece MAGA Grandma/Grandpa if they can't see/feel the depth of humiliating sacrifice he is willing to endure (in their names) so they gladly sign over their Social Security checks and drain their meager retirement accounts...

[MagickMuffin]

7. Note to Shea Schrader, trump IS NOT THE PRESIDENT

He once was pResident but he is just another right wing citizen.


I won’t object to you calling him former president but that’s it!

[TSExile]

29. I wouldn't even go that far.

I just call him the former occupant of the White House because...he just occupied the White House. He was NEVER a president.

[MagickMuffin]

32. Hence the smaller case pResident

Which signifies that he was a Resident not a president.

[TSExile]

35. That works

It's still nicer than "squatter". 😂😂😂😂😂

[Farmer-Rick]

33. Protocol calls for calling him Former President

Only the current President gets to be called President, but a lot of the media violates protocol and gets it wrong.

"Formally Addressing the Former President:
When addressing a former President of the United States in a formal setting, the correct form is “Mr. LastName.” (“President LastName” or “Mr. President” are terms reserved for the current head of state.) This is true for other ex-officials, as well."

[MagickMuffin]

34. Exactly what I wrote

[Farmer-Rick]

36. Yeah, you got it right

A lot of people seem to think calling TFG president is correct because journalists get it wrong all the time.

Glad you saw the error.

[StoolPigeon]

9. VIP

Very Impotent Prisoner

[Danascot]

26. Very Impudent Prick

31. And MVPP... Most Vile Personality.

43. PE#1

Public Enemy Number One.

[Tetrachloride]

11. beady eyes and the lights glare

destiny

[vlyons]

14. Maybe he thinks the process will take about 1 hour, and he can fly back out

B4 9pm.

[C_U_L8R]

15. Nine to Five for everyone else

Gotta stay open so the idiot assclown can preen and whine on primetime. Ugh.

[Bongo Prophet]

17. They are reportedly open 24 hrs. Some defendants surrendered at 2 am this week.

But I agree with "ugh" - Narcissist crooks are exhausting.

[not a texan]

16. He wants dim lighting if he can't wear makeup

I heard but do not know if it is true that he can't have on his orange makeup for his mug shot. He won't want to wash it off when he arrives as then it would be timed and we would all know it takes an hour to scrape that crap off. It will be harder to see detail at dusk at just how pasty he really is

[Blue Owl]

22. A Low-Flying Shit Warning has also been issued during that time

[murielm99]

24. LOL

What is a low-flying shit warning?

[Grasswire2]

27. I have a new expletive on seeing him now...

".....that's some low-flying shit!"

[kentuck]

25. He wants it to be available for prime time.

He'll probably arrive about 6-6:30 pm.

That will give all the TV talking heads on cable news the rest of the night to cover him.

He understands how to manipulate the news media.

[kairos12]

28. Time frame.

Not soon enough.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

37. Oops - correcting post: 3:45 to 6 pm western. Thank you DUer Bagimin for the gentle correction.

38. K&R.

40. Rumor has it......

That Putin offered to send a plane to Mar-A-Lago to rescue him.

[RocRizzo55]

44. I thought it was his buddy

Kim Jong Un

[moniss]

47. Rootin' Tootin' Hootin' Putin has a

bad track record with airplanes lately. The marketing slogan is "Fly Vladimir Airlines......One Way Only.......Arrival Not Assured".

[cannabis_flower]

45. Timed for prime time.

Trump is always a media whore.

[lambchopp59]

46. Booked, then released to opulent accommodations until trial, ahem...

Oh, sooooooo unfair to that stinking criminal shitbag crybaby martyr to the MAGAts.
