"Fifth". Because that's about the extent of what he thinks he has to answer. Or maybe "Executive privilege." The idea of guilt or non-guilt is not on his mind, it's about privileges and shields.noblepa wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2023 12:43 pm Will the OSG quietly answer "Not guilty" when asked how he pleads to each of the charges at his arraignment?
Or will he launch into a tirade about how he is the most innocent person who was ever charged with bogus, made up crimes, by a corrupt, Trump-hating District Attorney?
We all know what a blowhard he normally is, but he has shown again and again, when forced to give depositions, that he is meek as a lamb. He may not answer questions, but he does not go off on a tangent or lose his cool.
OTOH, this time, I've heard that he brought along his own videographer, to document his "Daniel entering the Lion's den" appearance in court. He can't release footage of himself being meek and docile in the face of the corrupt, politically motivated prosecutor and judge, now can he? What would his adoring suckers fans think?

In a way, he is right. Not because Karl Rove is not a true, idiologically pure Republican, but because the idiology of the Republican party has moved so far to the right, that Rove is now seen as a moderate. Crazy, isn't it?
Heck, in this Republican party, even the glorious Saint Ronald, blessed be his name, would not be accepted. Reagan was willing to be civil and to talk to Democrats. Some still remember his famous line "we can disagree without being disagreeable". In the current incarnation of the party, being disagreeable is the primary goal. They have no discernable agenda, except banning abortion, books, the teaching of past (and current) racial injustice, gays and drag queens.

I saw where at T.Rump’s arraignment he weighed in at 270. Anyone see what they got as his actual height? ‘Cause I know that fractally fake nimrod ain’t actually 6’2”.

IANAL. But I know arrestees are photographed, and height and weight recorded, but not sure what that process is called. Intake?

I doubt they had him take his lifts off.

I know it probably varies on jurisdictions, but I think most places booking arrestees ask for self-reported weight and height. So I am a bit impressed if tfg said 270.
Did they give a cavity search? That may have been fun news.

Yeah, my DL has listed my weight as 110 for the past 40 years.
Narrator: She does not weight 110.

There's no way in hell that Trump self-reported that he weighed 270 pounds and is only 6'1". No way!

tfg claims to have raised $12M so far off the indictment. Also, that Biden responded "with a villainous smirk and a maniacal laugh."

There's been no independent corroboration that anyone asked for, weighed, or recorded this defendant's weight (or height).
I would be surprised to learn that anyone actually did.

While the J6 defendants can’t afford to pay for cookies from the commissary after their public defender visit, the cult leader who did nothing for them rakes in millions from grandma MAGAs social security checks so he can fight to keep the Woke Left from coming for them next.

Yes, every dollar contributed to the grift now means one dollar less for anyone else knocking on the door for funds in the future.RTH10260 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 7:04 pm$12 million now does not guarantee a presidential election in 2024.
