Donald Trump, you’re on the clock!

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Once Donald Trump was declared the loser of the 2020 election, he no longer had the office of the presidency to shield him from legal consequences, and it was always just a question of which jurisdiction would end up completing a criminal case against him first. Even though it’s taken quite some time for those various criminal cases to progress, they now seem to be falling into place at just about the same time.

It’s perhaps fitting that the new year has marked what should quickly be a major ramp-up in the two most prominent criminal cases against Donald Trump. This weekend Alvin Bragg was sworn in as the new Manhattan District Attorney. He has a past history of bringing legal cases against Trump, he’s inheriting a comprehensive criminal case against Trump that’s well into the grand jury stage, and he recently stated that he’s personally focusing on the Trump case.

Then there’s the January 6th Committee, which has spent months amassing a treasure trove of evidence and leverage while working through hundreds of cooperating witnesses, and is now about to begin holding televised public hearings in order to make its case to the American people. The committee recently leaked to the media that it intends to make a criminal referral against Donald Trump to the Department of Justice, which we expect it’ll do at the end of the hearings. And whatever you think of the DOJ’s approach up to this point, it’s difficult to imagine the DOJ would simply ignore a comprehensive congressional criminal referral against Trump.

In other words, here in 2022, Donald Trump is on the clock. The new Manhattan DA is clearly about to take a huge swing at him. The January 6th Committee is looking to hand the DOJ a federal criminal case against Trump that it can’t refuse. And that’s before getting to the criminal cases against Trump that are reportedly playing out in Westchester New York and Fulton County Georgia. This is looking to be a happy new year when it comes to justice being served.
