Donald Trump's criminal co-defendant Walt Nauta is joining Trump today as he travels to campaign speeches in Georgia and North Carolina.... during the first of which Trump blasted Special Counsel Jack Smith

CNN showed a short clip from the Waffle House visit, with Nauta close by.

Well that doesn’t seem like someone that is going to flip.

[Slim Cognito]

Probably not, but it could be the actions of someone who doesn't want anyone to know he's cooperating.

[jemcanada2]

Fogcorn!

Bernie in the washroom!

[Kendra]

Speaking of Nauta, I assume he's being arraigned on Tuesday as well? Will he have to post bail? Ride in luxury with tfg, or come in on his own?

[Kendra]

Shamelessly stolen from FB.

[AndyinPA]

Don't know about the latter, but I do believe it's a double dip on Tuesday.

Edited to add: for Kendra's post above.

Some friends are at PacBell SBC AT&T Oracle Park where the Giants are hosting the Cubbies, and say this guy's shirt is getting a lotta love.

Waltine's just like a Mini-me, isn't he?

[Kendra]

I hope someone gets Cohen on the Sunday morning shows for some on-air advice for Waltine and trusting tfg's word to take care of him.

Waltine's description as a "military valet" brought this to mind:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(military)

A batman or an orderly is a soldier or airman assigned to a commissioned officer as a personal servant. Before the advent of motorized transport, an officer's batman was also in charge of the officer's "bat-horse" that carried the officer's kit during a campaign.

The British English term is derived from the obsolete bat, meaning "pack saddle" (from French bât, from Old French bast, from Late Latin bastum)

The military term long predates the appearance of the fictional superhero Batman.

Duties
A batman's duties often include:

acting as a "runner" to convey orders from the officer to subordinates
maintaining the officer's uniform and personal equipment as a valet
driving the officer's vehicle, sometimes under combat conditions
acting as the officer's bodyguard in combat
digging the officer's foxhole in combat, giving the officer time to direct his unit
other miscellaneous tasks the officer does not have time or inclination to do
The action of serving as a batman was referred to as "batting". In armies where officers typically came from the upper class, it was not unusual for a former batman to follow the officer into later civilian life as a domestic servant.

The memes write themselves.

I'd buy him a beer and a dog.

Well that doesn’t seem like someone that is going to flip.

I read an article a while back that said that he didn't want to flip, as he was loyal to Trump The feds threatened him with lots of jail time and he eventually gave in and gave enough to justify the raid.

Like I said earlier, Trump dazzled him.

[Dave from down under]

That is the one I so wanted to see done.

[much ado]

Any thoughts about what will happen with protesters at the courthouse on Tuesday?

I'd guess a reasonable number will show up, perhaps hundreds or even a thousand or so. Some of the more MAGAtistical Magadonians may come from out of state. I don't think their behavior will reflect well on Trump. Will there be violence? How well will the police manage it? It will be interesting to see how many anti-Trump protesters show up.

Anyway, Tuesday will be interesting.

[Dave from down under]

Florida
Guns

[AndyinPA]

Not too many showed up in NYC for the first indictment. We shall see, I guess. This is MAGAt territory.

[Suranis]

I would guess he will get about 10 people. I am pretty certain that there will be more reporters than protesters. For all their talk, people know deep down that Chungus didn't lift a finger to help any of the people that came out for him Jan 6th so they know they will be on their own if things go south. Plus, the constant drip of convictions have scared people.

AND, even better, the Florida police will be out in force with their billy clubs. No authority is going to make the mistake of deploying 1/3 of their normal contingent ever again. And people realize that. Trump had his one shot at a coup, and he blew it.

[much ado]

Suranis, I hope you are right.

[Suranis]

Suranis, I hope you are right.

So do I.
