“Well, almost every other prominent Republican commented before he did. Even Pence did.
He was quite conspicuous by his silence.”
Maybe DeSantis didn’t realize that it was a timed competition. And Pence is a traitorous, dishonest POS...remember? How is that a ‘selling point’?
no selective hearing here: i heard the whole thing - but at the edges he distorted the message by denigrating it to a circus, and doing the political sideswipes with ‘hush money’ and ‘porn star’ making it a political move, not a leader’s statement on the judicial system/Constitution. egads - even Pence did a better job and that’s not a good comparison for DeS. sorry - he flubbed it by not rising above the politics which surprised me because usually his instincts are better than that. this smelled of handlers’ involvement.
Today is Tuesday-by DJT's statement-this is the day he is being arrested. Anybody have a line on the time of Trump's arrest today?
likely delayed - apparently another witness has been scheduled to appear tomorrow, i think.
In other words, DJT issued a false proclamation. In all caps. Politically motivated, no doubt, resulting in lots of press coverage and a rush of campaign donations.
Yesterday, DJT knew he wasn't being arrested today, and he went all scorched earth against Governor DeSantis. More dirty politics, resulting in more press coverage and campaign donations.
Alrighty then.
Costello wasn’t scheduled as grand jury witness last week and apparently grand jury was wrapping up. now there is yet another witness tomorrow also unknown then. looking at NYC preps in the city yesterday- barricades, etc - DJT wasn’t the only entity in the loop. so hardly a political stunt. i mean, really? but things change.
Trump’s proclamation in all caps did not leave any wiggle room for additional witnesses or delays. Thus, it was a false statement.
