The race to finish off Donald Trump is now fully underway

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.

Now that Donald Trump is out of office and eligible for arrest, the question everyone keeps asking is why he hasn’t been arrested yet. That answer keeps coming in the form of news reports every few days about how the criminal cases against Trump are expanding and becoming more comprehensive. But now it appears a race between prosecutors is fully underway to finish Trump off.

First we saw the Manhattan District Attorney in New York hire an outside prosecutor, who is an expert in white collar criminal cases, to help take Donald Trump down. Now the Fulton County District Attorney in Georgia has also hired an outside attorney, with an expertise in racketeering charges, to take Trump down. In other words, the DAs appear to be trying to one-up each other in terms of the comprehensiveness of the criminal cases they’re putting together against Trump.

It’s also highly notable that the Fulton County DA put her case in front of the grand jury this past week, which is a lot quicker than we would have expected for a criminal case that just recently came together. It feels like the Fulton County DA is perhaps looking to indict and arrest Trump before the Manhattan DA can do so. This in turn could put pressure on the Manhattan DA to move more quickly. It appears the race is on.
