Heading north
Trump’s lawyer says he’ll surrender if he’s indicted. Very big of him I’m sure. The lawyer didn’t mention that he would also incite his worshipers to riot.
Former President Donald Trump will surrender to face criminal charges if indicted by a Manhattan grand jury, his lawyer said Friday evening.
…
Trump is under investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office for his company recording as legal expenses a reimbursement to his former personal attorney Michael Cohen for $130,000 he gave porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election to keep her quiet about an alleged sexual tryst with Trump.
Trump is living at his Florida club these days.
Under Florida law, the state’s governor is responsible for making sure a person in the state is arrested and delivered to another state if that person is indicted on a felony charge.
The governor in question is Ron DeSantis, a rival and an object of trumpy insults. Fun stuff.
There isn’t enough popcorn in the world for this.
It’s already all sold out!
Trump could become the *second* US politician to try running for President from jail.
But I’d hate that, as the first politician to do so was Eugene Debs, who was jailed for protesting against US involvement in the imperialist bloodbath that was WWI.
Trump is already doing that inciting: he has called for “mass protests” in response to the upcoming indictment.
