Donald Trump must be hiding under his desk
You know you’re having a bad day when news surfaces about the grand jury that’s in the process of criminally indicting you, and you have to ask “Which grand jury?” That’s the position Donald Trump found himself in on Tuesday, when news surfaced out of a pair of grand juries in different jurisdictions.
First came the news that DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith’s 2020 election related grand jury reconvened for eight hours on Tuesday, but according to NBC News, didn’t appear to hear from any witnesses. This probably means the grand jury spent the day working on indictments, and could theoretically start issuing them any day now.
Then came the news that Fulton County was seating the grand jury that is widely expected to bring the indictments requested by District Attorney Fani Willis. This process could take perhaps a few weeks, before indictments are issued.
This all seems bad enough for Donald Trump, until you remember that he’s already been criminally indicted twice now. These will be his third and fourth criminal indictments. He’s on track to end up having several criminal trials, on hundreds of combined felony charges. The news just keeps getting worse for him. At this point Trump must be hiding under his desk.
