1) It looks like the NY AG office is (as of this writing) backing off of an indictment, at least on "Tuesday" as was leaked.
2) What does this mean? It's all speculation. We're dealing with lib tripetrampers who probably themselves don't know how to wash a car. Still . . .
3) Option 1: They will delay in order to hear from Trump's lawyer (I guess, again) as to why (again) there was nothing whatsover illegal in what he did.
4) Option 2: They never were gonna indict: this was all a "throw libspooge against the wall and see what sticks."
4.a) Why would they do that? Well, one explanation is they were actually TRYING to provoke a massive protest that did not materialize as grounds for some national lockdown Reichstag moment. Another is, they wanted to flush out Trump and see if they could get him to resist.
4.a.) contd . . . For example, if they could provoke him into actually resisting arrest or some other trumped-up (no pun intended) charge, they might actually have something. OR, they might have been playing "smoke out the real political Trump supporters," i.e., what pols . . .
4.a.) contd . . . actually denounced this Caligulafest. Were they trying to out RDS? Who knows? These people are totally demonic.
5) OPTION 3: They never intended to indict all along but wanted to indict some really small fish and lasso Trump as an "unindicted co-conspirator."
5) contd . . . Remember this is what they did to Reagan over Iran-Contra and pursued him for several YEARS after he left office with this "unindicted co-conspirator" slime hung around his neck.
6) Regardless, if there is some indictment, Trump should neither seek, nor should RDS volunteer (which he wouldn't anyway) to in any way block the legal proceedings. The glandgrabbers in NY would just go after Trump if he ever left FL anyway. So that won't work.
7) As I say, these are just the options I thought of, and I certainly don't know them all. There are perhaps still other strategeries the NY AG wants to use. and no one, and I mean NO ONE, will be able to predict the political fallout if this becomes real.

1) This was precisely what I saw in 2016 that led me to write in OCTOBER that Trump had "won" the election with "between 300 and 320 EVs" (final was 304. You can see the tweet in the endnote of my "How Trump Won" published in 2017 with Joel Pollak.
3) Here are some of the shocking numbers:
*In NE2, which Trump lost by 22,000, Rs have already sliced 13,000 off that lead. This is not counting repentant indies or even Ds who see that they screwed up.
*In Maricopa County, the R gains now have MC at R+162,000, or . . .
3) contd . . .
* . . . More than the entire STATEWIDE R lead in 2020. Statewide, now, Rs have an advantage of +260,000 and it grows literally daily. Last week it was increasing at about 400 per day.
*In Clark Co, NV, Rs have slashed the D registration lead there by 4% . . .
1) People constantly say here, "I wish I had your confidence." Well, it's easy. Be confident. I have been wrong, I can't be wrong-ER. Only wrong.
2) In playing, I of course would rehearse new and untested licks before I played them. But you never knew how they'd come out.
3) If I screwed up, so what? I screwed up attempting something big and unique.
4) Times I've been wrong are easily offset about ALL the times I've been right, including saying:
*None of the lawfare would affect the election
*ALL of the federal cases would be delayed/dismissed
4) contd . . .
*In early 2023, when people were insisting DeSantis and/or Nick Knack had a chance, I said "the primary is over, and Trump has won at the earliest possible date anyone could amass the appropriate # of delegages."
*I said RFK would not be a factor in the D primary
1) Listening to Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American," it prompted me to think about American national "anthems." From "God Bless America," to "This Land is Your Land," to " America the Beautiful" to "Proud to be an American," these songs have something in common . . .
1) contd . . . that is, besides patriotism: they all celebrate America's landscape.
2) In this, we are pretty much unique in the world.
3) I asked a European History expert friend about this phenomena, and he agreed. Most foreign patriotic songs are strictly political.
4) "Le Marseillaise" for example. I guess you might say "Rule Brittania," which refers to overseas conquest, might somewhat be an exception.
5) But in few other national songs do you have the conjunction of geography with national identity as with American patriotism.
1) The Trump strategies in this campaign have been brutally effective.
2) Most recently, J.D. Vance refused to debate Kampuchea Harris because "we don't know who the DemoKKKrat nominee is!"
3) This is obviously true, but more important it short-circuited Rutabaga's strat:
3) contd. . . Rutabaga's team thought they could buy time & bolster the campaign if Harris had a good debate against Vance. (Forget for a moment that the Cackling One was highly unlikely to have a good showing at all).
4) Anyway, Rutabaga thought he could do 2 things.
5) First, he could dampen down some of the criticism of the ticket---"See, all good. We're in good shape." Second, he could buy another week until the DNC has its early nomination, which they said THEY WILL HAVE. (They said so again yesterday) hotair.com/david-strom/20…
