From: The Trump Criminal Megathread

[ajax18]

Just because you know we're going to need one. Right now, we're looking at:

Micheal Cohen hush money. This case in New York state court. Trump's lawyers tried to have it removed to federal court, but a federal judge held that the federal courts had no jurisdiction over the case. So, back to the state court.

Documents. This case is filed in the U.S. Court for the Southern District of Florida, assigned to Eileen Canon. A confidential hearing this week was held to address the issue of getting security clearances for Trump's lawyers. Then scheduled trial date is this December. (Under a schedule generated automatically by the court system.) Trump's lawyers requested the trial date be moved to after the 2024 election. The government asked for some kind of safeguards be put in place to prevent Trump from disclosing information from confidential government docs.

Attempted Overturning of the 2020 election. Trump has a received a target letter, which means we can expect announcement of an indictment next week. I expect it will be filed in D.C., as the events occurred while Trump was president. I'm guessing this will be a conspiracy case, with a number of defendants. Criminal charges have already been filed in Michigan against the slate of fake electors who were part of the scheme.

Election Interference (Georgia). The attorney general indicated that she expects to announce an indictment next month. A Grand Jury appears to be hearing evidence now. An information grand jury (which cannot indict) issued a report recommending criminal charges against several individuals.

Have I forgotten any case or investigation?

"Trump," pretty much all congressional democrats can say in defense of the Biden crime family at this point. Why exactly is Jamie Raskin wearing that ridiculous looking handkerchief on his head? I guess for Democrats trying to defend the indefensible it's all about distraction and changing the subject at this point.

Trump is helping people with his master class on how to understand the world and not get confused. You make up stuff about people you do not like so you can call them names. Repeat until it sticks.This avoids all kinds of tangles.

That sure seems to be an accurate description of Trump and his modus operandi. He doesn't seem to be capable of much else, other than scamming and deluding the most gullible of us while at the same time appealing to the unmitigated bigotry, greed and lust for power of the wealthiest and least ethical of us.
