Palm Beach Preparing For Possible Trump Arrest

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.
Drudge is running with this story on his website along with a fake pic of Trump in an orange suit. Very unprofessional.
Yeh sure! I think the spec ops guys guarding Trump will have a big No way waiting for PBPD. 😆
I'd hope he'd be smart enough not to try something like that. Although, we are talking about a dem political operative who clearly hates Trump as much or more than the rest of them.
At a minimum, expect very select leaks on the financial records timed to hurt Trump with any potential "independent" or fence sitting voters whom "we" have to rely on for any win in 2024.
Rudy G. has his own legal troubles now. I hope Trump can find a few good men to defend him. Personally, I’d have preferred Rudy stay off the front lines for the last few years. No one stays at the top of their game forever.
I’m pretty sure nobody is going to arrest Trump.
If anything the Feds will intervene, knowing the societal implications.
You still read Drudge?
Who dreamed up this cr**.
Even money says that if they arrest him, he’ll get Jeffry Epstein’s old cell...
Good luck with that.
They are NOT “prepared”.
I’m not clicking on the article, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t even have any possible charges.
“Well, we know he did something wrong - he’s a Nazi after all. So we just want to be ahead of the game on when and where we pick him up once he is charged, no matter what those charges might be.”
Is Lizzard a whiteness/witness for the Prosecution?
We shall see who is correct!
Boy. They are really afraid of Trump.
The problem is you can't get within half a mile of the real culprits.
Southern District of New York is the most flagrantly out of control, ABOVE THE LAW, and dangerous LEFT WING law organization in America.
In the past - HRC, Comey, Lynch, Holder, Berman, Vance, Goldstein, Walden, Weissman, etc, etc, etc... and many of our nation’s hardest left wing and lawless have worked with, or derived from, this truly anti-American, anti-God, and anti-US Constitution SDNY entity.
It is truly and utterly at war with America, and see’s itself as above America.
In practice, it’s real purpose is clearly the total elimination of liberty, and America as a free country.
They will only be stopped by force.
understood, thanks
I see the Populist Press is at it again. Bunch of washed up journalism hacks writing clickbait.
What a crap article, since you posted it you need to explain what the charges are as this article does not even pass the toilet paper test as it is so full of crap from a Left leaning “source”
So other than a waste of time since there have been 2 Trump wins on the Collusion and Payoff items YOU need to tell us what in the hell this means to you?
