In addition to his intensely dismissive and even threatening attitude about the other poster's knowledge, which knowledge seemed considerable and rational (but I don't know the actual laws involved), it was his comment about the prosecutor which caught my attention as having an agenda, an 'axe to grind'. Others challenged the veracity and reasonableness of his characterization with what appeared to be well informed counterpoints, but he was dismissive of those as well.njbill wrote: ↑Mon Mar 06, 2023 2:01 pm He’s that way with a lot of posters. He eases up on old timers, but really goes after new posters and posters he doesn’t know.
If Trump is indicted, it will be interesting to see how his arrest is handled. Will he appear voluntarily, trying to avoid a spectacle? Or will he hole himself up at Mar-a-Lago and force some type of confrontation like Roger Stone did? I wouldn’t put it past him to orchestrate a “really big shew” and then try to use the video to inflame his base. He does like attention.
I'm interested in the legal machinations, but it was the 'axe' that caught my attention.
I get a bit antsy when I see very personal attacks on a prosecutor who seems to have actually kept a low personal profile on an extremely high profile case, appears to have grand jury recommendations that will be visible to all at some point, and yet hasn't yet formally indicted anyone.
That's disturbing, especially in the context of the Georgia law being passed...a clear threat to her, it would seem.
I've seen prosecutors who are flamboyant in their publicity seeking, often with weak cases, but that doesn't seem to be the case here...
Re the Trump actual indictment and arrest process, rather than predict what will happen, I think the best steps are to assume the cooperation of a target like Trump until he proves uncooperative. Once that happens then a more forceful process is way more easily justified. It would be different if there was a belief that the arrest would be more likely violent if a warning or if more likely to have evidence destroyed if notice given, but the likelihood of violence is probably higher if perceived to be heavy-handed.
If predicting, I think it's 50:50 as to which path he takes. However, given my own low opinion of him, if forced to bet, I'd bet he makes it into a show somehow, but doesn't flee the country. Too much grift yet to be had here in the US, too much arrogance to believe he can't beat the system yet again.
who thinks WE are the problem.
