So Desantis says he won't cooperate wtih extradition. I'm cool with that. Trump can sit his fat ass in FLorida for the rest of his life. So arrest DeSantis too. I'm cool with that.

Wrongly accused Central Park 5 member cheers Trump's indictment with a single word statement: 'Karma'As President, Donald Trump declined to apologize for his controversial position in 1989 on the Central Park 5, the five Black and Latino teenagers who were wrongly convicted of assaulting and raping a White woman in Central Park. Now that Trump has been indicted in New York, a member of that exonerated group has a concise response: "Karma." Yusef Salaam, now a candidate for New York City Council, noted in his brief statement on Twitter that Trump "never said sorry for calling for my execution." In 1989, Trump bought newspaper advertisements calling for New York State to adopt the death penalty after the attack on the jogger. He made clear that he was speaking out because of the attack, though the ads did not explicitly call for the death penalty for the five defendants, The New York Times reported. The five teenagers, including Salaam, were convicted, but said they were coerced into giving confessions for crimes they didn't commit. "You have people on both sides of that," Trump said in 2019, when asked about it at the White House. "They admitted their guilt." Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury in connection with hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, making him the first former president to be criminally charged. The Rev. Al Sharpton, who protested outside the courthouse during their trials, said in a statement to Insider, "All I can say is, what goes around comes around." "It's not lost on those of us who were there in 1989 that Donald Trump will likely walk into the same courthouse where the Exonerated 5 were falsely convicted for a crime they did not commit," he said. "Let's not forget that it was Donald Trump who took out full-page ads calling for these five Black and Brown young men to get the death penalty. This is the same man who's now calling for violence when he has to go through the same system. The same man will have to stand up in a courtroom and see firsthand what the criminal justice system is like." Wrongly accused Central Park 5 member cheers Trump's indictment with a single word statement: 'Karma'

Hey? Have the Trump kids said anything yet? Or are they keeping their heads down and trying not to be noticed by the various grand juries?

The use of the word indicated rather than indicted (does he even know those words are not synonyms?) aside, did anyone else notice that in the sentence near the end of the second page of the quote the Loser refers to himself as the FORMER president? How does that fit in with the stolen election rethoric?

I literally sat in front of the TV last night and cheered. Loudly. I so wish his fat ass would be perp-walked out of Palm Beach, tossed onto convict Air Trump and taxied outta here. A few of his sun-crazed supporters are protesting on the island, oh, what a horrible way this country has come. No, it's horrible you are littering the streets with your nonsense and blather. Go find something else to do. And note to the governor...you can stand down from the soapbox now. Your assist isn't needed for an extradition. But just keep playing up to your own set of moronic misfit minions. Your hate of all things decent. combined with your willingness to ram your policies down peoples' throats is already on display, making the state the laughingstock of the planet. I would like to see Harvard and Yale yank your degrees right about now. You are a lousy representation of freedom, despite your "free Florida"rhetoric. Force isn't free. Restricting people and beliefs you don't like isn't free. Removing rights isn't free. Supporting laws that will result in deaths of children and trans people isn't free. Trump deserves prison. DeSantis deserves hell.

I wonder....what someone who used to post here would say about now? I'm sure he is probably still busy taking care of insurance problems from Ian.

i heard something interesting about this trial today.
because the defense can challenge the validity of the grand jury, this is not likely to come to trial for a year. in other words, the assertion that i made yesterday might be immaterial. he might be CONVICTED on a different charge before this one ever reaches verdict.

FWIW: I'm pretty sure trump (aka his lawyers) will do whatever they can to slow down or prolong each and every step of the legal process.
Perhaps that what "challenge the validity of the grand jury" means not actually "challenging the validity of the grand jury" - but lets throw whatever we can at this to slow it down/prolong it. trump supporters (and trump himself) seem to speak in some sort of code.
That's pretty much trump's mode of operation prolong the process wear out the opposition. make the opposition spend as much money as possible. They will get tired or risk going bankrupt and will drop walk away from it - giving trump a WIN!!!
I'm also guessing trump will bring whatever legal actions can be brought against anyone and everyone involved.
trump is kind of famous for doing this... drag everything out as long as possible making it as expensive and exhausting as possible for the people opposing him.
He's had tremendous success with it.

Re: validity of grand jury It seems it would be possible to question whether the whole grand jury process was conducted legally but think it would be highly unlikely Bragg wasn’t very careful. Also that should have been handled during that process (e.g. were jury members properly selected at the time they were being selected). Perhaps it is more about validity of the grand jury indictment. A couple of questions I heard concerned statute of limitations issues and was behavior an actual crime, basically questions of law that need to be dealt with by a judge prior to a jury trial.

What do you mean challenge the validity of the grand jury? in NY, it is legal to address whether the grand jury was tainted by news, etc. i have already seen the Trump lawyers talk about this exact thing, so i suspect they will try to question whether the jury met the bias criteria. the judge will have to consider that, but he will likely rule against it.

all things considered, i think it is GREAT that this case is coming first. do you want me to articulate WHY, or do you all feel the same way?

I think that is widely accepted as the wise choice for anyone although in cases where there is public interest it leaves you open to negative speculation.

My thinking is if this case didn't come first there would be no point to ever bringing it. It will also burn through Trump's possible lawyers cause you know he's not going to pay these guys. What is your logic?
