Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, have not been announced.
The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it's a civil case and not a crimimal one. That trial date is currently set for January 15th, the same day as the Iowa caucus.
You're viewing a single thread.
Fine by me.
Let's lock him up in a holding cell while he awaits his trial, just to be safe.
The day that I see Trump in handcuffs is the day I'll be opening a nice bottle of champagne with dinner. Same goes for the day it's confirmed that he's ineligible for running for office again and the day he receives a prison sentence.

We're up to 4 Trump Indictment Days in our house. Don't wait, they're all special occasions.
You celebrate Indictmas too?
I'm looking forward to St. Verdict's Day and Jailsgiving too!
Unfortunately there's nothing preventing him from running for president out of prison. God forbid if you're a disgusting foreigner, but trying to overthrow the government in the highest act of treason since the civil war? Nah, go ahead mister president.
We'll see. I won't pretend to know much of anything about the law, but I saw a news article about some lawyers who recently concluded that an article of the 14th amendment actually does prevent him from holding office.
And yeah, on paper the law applies to everyone but clearly that's far from the truth. Seems like Trump's consequences are finally starting to catch up with him though.
The "no rebels or insurrectionists in office" clause? That only takes effect of he's actually convicted. And then, of course, he'll ignore the court ruling, whine about persecution, appeal the case, and continue doing whatever the duck he wants until he's physically restrained.
Yeah I think that's the one. He might be convicted soon, I think. I hope.
Well-done steak with ketchup, just like Donnie likes it.
