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.
A great point to keep in mind.
The Feds would immediately issue a UFOP warrant. Then the US marshals and FBI can act on it. Trump would then remain in Federal custody until trial.
“...total elimination of liberty...” It’s coming down the Pike.
Congress needs a Personal Liberty Caucus of majority numbers with Pikes of their own.
Felony tweeting.
Orange man bad.
Federal offense.
For having opinions that differ from democrats.
Push, push, push towards CWII or RWII (name depends on who wins).
Shows you just important it is not to have a compromised court that can rule against Trump 24/7. Roberts in the Supreme Court alone could easily rule that presidents are immune to any prosecution since its seldom done if ever. But he won’t he’s hopelessly compromised as are so many others.
Unfortunately I agree 100% with you.
Following your recomendation, I visited that BadBlue website. 30 seconds after I got there, I was shown pop ups with remedies for diarrhea and oily stools. Ugh! The type face is thin and hard to read. Be that as it may, I am realistic, and I know one has to start from somewhere.
So, to me, it’s a god thing that these newer conservative sites are making themselves known. Some of the more jagged edges of that layout will be smoothed over in two to three years on average. If this site survives, they’ll probably have a wider choice of advertisers by then too.
I have a pop-up blocker and never get pop-ups.

Thanks.
Do they really think they should indict a man that knows the secrets? I know I wouldn’t.
True. We don't have the guts or will to do that. Our side knows that and the other side knows that.
Is that just an objective third-party observation (prediction), or are you suggesting there should be additional violence to that on 6 January (5 deaths, 140 injuries) were such kind of prosecution of FPOTUS to go forward? Is this your context?
I hope they do. They’re already fighting a war and the right is sheltering in place. Hopefully they push all the right buttons to get the right engaged.
Fuel the jet.
