Not Exactly Good News
This is not exactly good news for either Trump or Meadows:
A federal judge has rejected former President Donald Trump’s claims of executive privilege and has ordered Mark Meadows and other former top aides to testify before a federal grand jury investigating Trump’s efforts to overturn the election leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
If Meadows lies, he’s likely to go to jail. If he tells the truth, he’s gonna wake up with a horse’s head in his bed attached to a note from Trump. Too many people have already testified to what Meadows said and did that day and none of it is heroic. I guess we’re gonna have to start calling him Nolo Mark because that’s about the only option he has left.
And also in today’s news, Trump is huffed up like a two year old banging on a high chair tray about his MagaMob rally …
Former President Donald Trump called on supporters to descend on the Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday to protest – as he is on the brink of being indicted for his role in paying off adult movie star Stormy Daniels.
Some of those supporters did show up. But they were outnumbered by demonstrators who support the indictment of the former president …
Last I heard about 6 people showed up to support Trump.
One of them was not Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran because he was testifying before a federal grand jury in DeeCee. They are looking into the classified documents found in Florida. He lost his fight for attorney client privilege.
It ain’t rolling Trump’s direction this weekend.
According to his latest screed, TFG is going stark raving mad:

Although, at this point, how can you tell?
1I remember seeing pictures of Meadows around the end of trumpf’s regime and Jan 6 and he had the look of a deer in the headlights. Based on trumpf’s threats against the Manhattan DA and others, mister Meadows should be worried. The judge in Jean Carroll’s lawsuit against trumpf basically called him a mafia boss. Not sure who his fixer is now.

Also, I’m finding it interesting that the trumpf boys and melanoma have been very quiet. Maybe they finally figured out he really is crazy.

Dang, too bad this article is behind a paywall. I guess only ordinary citizens as we, would be picked up by the law for threatening to kill someone.
Of course, that could change. I just saw this this – https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/trump-charges/?id=97888515

FrauFree@ 4 ,
Thanks 🙂
5TFFG has gone from “Stop The Steal!” to a pathetic ‘START THE SQUEAL!’.
How much longer do we wait for multiple indictments and perp walks, with cuffs dammit?
6Lock Him Up Now!
If Trump is calling on his minions to descend on Manhattan district court, but also claims he didn’t incite the January 6th mob…
I don’t know how that looks to prosecutors, but I know how it looks to me.
7Funny thing. That picture of trump holding the baseball bat looks like he’s doing his De Niro impression from the famous baseball bat scene in The Untouchables.
8He’d love nothing better than for folks to think of him like Capone.
I’m getting older and more twisted by the day but I keep hearing “the voices” repeat the Washington Post masthead “Democracy Dies in The Dark”. If someone thinks, as they are approaching Victoria Tx, that they have reached Vegas….my work is done. Plus I got Coop electricity.
9Think there’s any change of RICO charges from the Feds, N.Y. , and GA?
10I find myself on the same page as Ted, not Cruz, asking: where the heck are those other, more serious charges? Jan6th, classified docs, Georgia etc?
11Have to agree with Bill Maher: ‘And it’s just going to look to MAGA nation like, ‘Oh, you know, you tried with Mueller, you tried with Ukraine, you tried with January 6. Now we go to the porn star? Really? You’re down to that?!”‘

I loved Andy Borowitz’ headline for he New Yorker: Trump Claims Failure to Arrest Him Is Conspiracy to Keep Him From Getting Donations. I so ready to never hear of tfg again!
12IMO, Susan B. Glasser nailed it:
13“Trolled by Trump, Again – Thoughts after a week of waiting and waiting for the indictment that the former President promised.”
