Nothing new there. But Trump went out on a limb, and claimed he was going to be arrested on a specific day, Tuesday of this week. Never happened. I posted on here I didn't think it would, either, as Trump's own lawyers said there was no indication it was going to happen on Tuesday, when asked. So DeSantis probably knew that too, was wise not to fall victim to Trump's act.
It will depend on how fair the jury pool is, how effective Bragg’s supression of exculpatory evidence has been, and whether all the increased public focus and criticism of the last few days will cause Bragg to have cold feet.
I have no idea. But I'm pretty certain Trump's behavior is probably close to the exact opposite of what a lawyer would tell you to do if you are facing an indictment. That kind of taunting is exactly what can cause an overreach of the law.
No comment on DeSantis’s criticism of Trump’s 2020 fraud allegations?
I thought they were pretty much right in line with what most people think about the 2020 election. While there was obviously some irregularities in the voting, by that point in the process you don't try to subvert the Constitution, and the electoral college process, by not counting the votes the state legislatures legally sent there. Could Pence have refused to count the legal votes, as the Constitution requires? Sure, he could have called in sick too. But since the electoral college is based on counting the actual electors the state legislatures had sent, and they weren't any officially approved alternate electors, which can but did not happen, the proper choice was to follow the Constitution, which Pence did, by counting the official electors the states had sent. Anything else would have been outrageous and Trump and Pence would very likely be in jail at this point.
Most every legal analyst I've seen has explained that one must actually officially be declared the loser of an election, in order to legally contest it. It requires that official loss for you to have actual damages, in order to have standing in a lawsuit. Kari Lake waited until her election was officially lost, recently, before contesting it, which is the proper process. But Trump packed his bags and disappeared for a year after J6, and let the case get cold, so that's on him.
Regarding some internet rumor supposedly involving DeSantis, forget it. That's nothing compared to the unproven internet claims against Trump anyway.
“I thought [DeSantis’s comments about election irregularities] were pretty much right in line with what most people think about the 2020 election.”
Well, that’s interesting, because you’re the one who told me recently, that you believed the election WAS stolen from Trump. In fact, one of your biggest criticisms of Trump was that he hasn’t done enough to fix the problem. You touted DeSantis as being stronger on this issue. Well now, your chosen candidate is downplaying the very existence of outcome altering election fraud and is asserting that Trump should have moved on like Washington did (which, BTW is a false analogy, being the Washington never had the election stolen from him). So the bottom line is, you keep moving the goal posts, meaning that you don’t even believe the arguments that you offer to justify your dislike of Trump and embrace of DeSantis, because when your arguments are disproven, you just switch to another argument, with no explanation.
BTW. I’m still waiting for you to respond to David Rubin’s statement about DeSantis congratulating on him and his “husband” on their adopted children. You dismiss it as a rumor. It’s not a rumor. Rumors are unsourced. This is an assertion from someone who was a party to the alleged event. So is your response that Dave Rubin is lying? If it is, on what basis do you make that claim? Has DeSantis refuted it? Or is it wrong simply because “He must be lying since I know DeSantis would never do such a thing”? You’re on weak ground here, Golden Eagle. Lets see what misdirection or obfuscation you use to weasel out of this one.
