How Palm Beach is preparing for a possible Trump indictment

PALM BEACH MAKES CONTINGENCY PLANS IN CASE TRUMP IS INDICTED — Law enforcement officials in Palm Beach County, Fla.,have actively prepared for the possibility that Manhattan District Attorney CY VANCE could indict former President DONALD TRUMP while he’s at Mar-a-Lago, according to two high-ranking county officials involved in planning sessions.

Among the topics discussed in those meetings: how to handle the thorny extradition issues that could arise if an indictment moves forward.

An obscure clause in Florida’s statute on interstate extradition gives Gov. RON DESANTIS the ability to intervene and even investigate whether an indicted “person ought to be surrendered” to law enforcement officials from another state — which means that as Mar-a-Lago prepares to close down for the season and Trump relocates to Bedminster, N.J., it isn’t just the Florida heat he’s leaving behind: He could lose a key piece of political protection.

“The statute leaves room for interpretation that the governor has the power to order a review and potentially not comply with the extradition notice,” says JOE ABRUZZO, clerk of the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County, the official who would be in charge of opening a potential fugitive-at-large case.

One wrinkle to Abruzzo’s potential role in all of this: He is a former close associate of President JOE BIDEN’S younger brother, FRANK. Abruzzo tells Playbook that despite his friendship with the Biden family, “the full extent of the law will be followed and carried out appropriately, without bias.”

If an indictment comes down while Trump is in Bedminster for the summer, this could all play out very differently.New Jersey’s extradition statute is similar to Florida’s, giving the governor the power to investigate an out-of-state warrant. But its governor is Democrat PHIL MURPHY, who is no fan of Trump’s, and would not likely intervene to stop Trump’s extradition. In the event of an indictment, Trump’s lawyers could also negotiate a condition of surrender, which could cut local law enforcement out. An attorney for Trump declined to comment.

With Trump settling down in New Jersey for the next few months, Florida is unlikely to have to sort through this any time soon. But the clock is ticking on the Manhattan D.A.’s investigation: On March 12, Vance said in a statement that he will retire at the end of 2021, and speculation abounds that his office — which is currently investigating whether Trump and his businesses committed banking and tax fraud, among other lines of inquiry — could issue indictments before passing the case along to his successor.

And that means that Palm Beach County may yet have to get involved — depending on whether Trump is indicted, of course, and whether that happens after Mar-a-Lago reopens in the fall.

The timing of these pending indictments is very political. I think they will indict Trump a few months after the mid-terms when the Republicans take control as shown (predicted) in the recent past.

Everyone knows by now, including Biden, that the GOP will do very little or try to tear down anything the House passes that supports > 70% of Americans.

For example, the House recently passed banning Assault Weapons. The GOP will not do the same and will prefer to just pray that more children aren't going to be killed while the GOP bitches about the rising violent crimes by assault weapons in America under a Democratic President.

Heck, the GOP even went after their own Chris Jacobs of Buffalo after he promise to support the ban...a promise to the people of his own district that were recently in the headlines due to the attack by a crazy fuck with an assault weapon.

Trump’s Lawyers Are Preparing Legal Defenses Against Criminal Charges
According to internal communications reviewed by Rolling Stone, Trump’s team is “quietly” planning for criminal charges as they wait for the Justice Department to make its move

It would be pure stupidity if they weren't already planning to defend Trump against criminal charges. It will be like a big dam opening up for the entire world to see what was going on although most of us already know what happened.

this is the guy that hired Rudy & kraken lady
 
According to the Post, "... as a matter of principle, as a matter of character, Trump has proven himself unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again."

If conservatives back Trump, they will lose the White House again.
If they back Desantis, they will almost certainly win.
It's hard to understand why conservatives still support Trump. The man has lost all credibility. It's like Trump is actually is the head of a cult with millions of followers.
Do they really want another 4 years of a Dem in the White House???
America needs strong, principled leadership and that person is Ron Desantis.
 
Hear Trump's lawyer say Trump is guilty.................he is finished. Worst president in the history of this great country.

Trump's impeachment defense lawyer has a plan to stop him


The lawyer Donald Trump chose to lead his defense during his first impeachment trial stunned a CNN anchor on Tuesday evening during an interview following the report that the deletion of text messages scandal has spread from the Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security to the Department of Defense.

CNN's Eric Burnett had an all-star panel to analyze the latest bombshell report suggesting a cover-up of Trump's unsuccessful coup attempt.

On the right, Burnett had former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb, who was a federal prosecutor early in his career. On the left, the host had Laurence Tribe, who taught constitutional law at Harvard for a half-century and represented then-Vice President Al Gore during the 2000 Florida recount.

After Tribe detailed a list of laws Trump may be broken and Cobb offered his response, Burnett said it was "significant" how much the two men agreed.

"If I could make one point, though Erin, in response to something the professor said which I think is significant," Cobb began "is the fact that the professor pointed to with the Pence tweet during the almost three hours of Trump's inactivity fits very, very perfectly into what I think should be — I think Congress has the lane here, I don't think that lane is telling [Attorney General] Merrick Garland what to do or pretending that they're leading him anywhere... but, the Pence tweet coupled with the three hours of inaction, in my view, easily fits into the definition of giving aid and comfort to the insurrectionists."

"And that is the standard under Article 3 of the 14th Amendment which Congress has at its disposal," Cobb noted.

"And I don't for the life of me," he continued, "understand why instead of telling the Justice Department what to do, that they aren't acting on that alone, because if they have a sense of the Congress, the penalty of finding Trump guilty of giving aid and comfort to an insurrectionist, is disqualification from office — forever."
