[vandeventer]

Why even have a Grand Jury, just tune into CNN. The most unpopular news media in the world.

And the connection between the two subjects of "Grand Juries" and "CNN" is what?

BTW I can think of many more "unpopular news media in the world"!

Was it the bit we’re Trump took the side of Putin against US Intelligence services, the bit were he cuddled up to ‘Rocket Man’ or his efforts to undermine NATO that swung it?

How does anyone take a man like Carlson seriously? I know what he does is not a news show, but still. He conjures stuff like a master spin meister.

Your speaking ridiculous things again. You need help. CNN is mainstream media.

Here's some reading for you on the Judge who is overseeing Trumps upcoming arraignment proceedings.

[Merchan] doesn't let the prosecutors or the defendants create any issues in his courtroom. He doesn't let a media circus or any other kind of circus happen. I don't think Donald Trump attacking him and threatening him is going to bode very well for him in the courtroom," Agnifilo said.

Waiting for the Trump fanatics to try and compare his payoff of Stormy to Clinton's Paula Jones payment.  When they do try to use it here's the article disproving that Bill did the same as Trump. Just trying to get ahead of the fan boys.....

No, Bill Clinton did not pay Paula Jones ‘hush money.’ It was a public settlement.

Some have drawn comparisons between former president Donald Trump’s alleged hush money payments and a settlement Bill Clinton paid in 1998

Yeah, the Revlon job offer for Monica is a much better comparison.

Now the Washington Post‘s Fact Checker team has finished its final catalog of the extent of the former president’s efforts to mislead and misinform us. According to its tally, Trump made more than 30,000 “false or misleading” claims during his presidency. Half of those lies were told during his last year in office, according to the Post‘s database:

You're the one who claimed that popularity positively correlates with truthfulness. What's your comment got to do with that observation?

I do believe you do watch lots of news. And apparently they mostly tell you that the 2020 election was stolen.

The election was stolen. And Trump was completely impotent to stop it. Couldn't roll back a single result. Even when begging on the phone to Georgia. Even after sending fake electors.

 

And yet, he is all-powerful and can solve all problems. But he needs dumb rednecks in red hats to help him. Or least send him a $20 bill.

 

Why doesn't he ever walk six feet outside of Mar A Lago to talk to the dim witted miscreants waving signs on his behalf? 

 

Those people need to watch the Jennifer Aniston film classic: He's Not That Into You.

1. He doesn't do walking.

2. He absolutely despises the base MAGA supporters.

and the one/s that leaked this can be jailed for 5 years as it is a major offence to release the findings of a grand jury in NY but I doubt someone following his pay masters requests will do so, only shows dems are shi**ing their pants that trump will win again so are getting very desperate. In doing so they have opened the gates to prosecutions based solely on a persons political leanings and not the law

Not quite a leak, more an "official announcement!;

The People of the State of New York against Donald J. Trump

The judge overseeing the case against Trump signed off on an order Thursday granting Bragg’s request to publicly disclose the sealed grand jury indictment.

Atop the order is the case name: The People of the State of New York against Donald J. Trump.

Judge Juan Merchan wrote in the order that the disclosure would be “in the public interest and an appropriate exercise of this Court’s discretion,” according to the document.

Scottie, you really need to learn when a sarcastic post is posted in response to another posters rhetorical post......but alas you are right.  I did post above in the thread somewhere about the Judge not taking any BS from either the prosecution the defense or Trump himself even the threats Trump has made. Enjoy the evening.
