JUST IN: A deputy clerk at US Dist Court in DC says no #indictments were returned today and none are expected for remainder of the day. #legal#Trump 1/...
Prosecutors are now prepared to “stack” an “additional 30 to 45 charges” on top of the 37-count indictment brought against Criminal Defendant Trump on 8 June. They would do so using evidence against the ex-president that has not yet been publicly acknowledged by the department, including other recordings prosecutors have obtained which reveal the Criminal Defendant making incriminating statements.
▪️The grand jury didn't stop at the first indictment. Possibly a first superseding indictment was already handed down.
Investigation of Trump Documents Case Continues After Former President’s Indictment
I'm not gonna lie. And I know things change, but it's not right that all of those stupid evil people are getting charged with storming the capitol for Trump but he's not (yet) getting charged for getting them to do it.
Glad he's getting charged with all this other stuff but at the end of the day my kids weren't staring at the TV crying because Trump tried to get false electors certified.
There seems to be no stopping the zombie fans of Donald #Trump. Rather than seeing the former #president’s multiple #criminal#indictments, including new charges filed in #Georgia last week, as a reason not to support his 2024 run, nearly three in four Trump #voters say showing support during his legal fights is a reason to support him.

Aileen.
Any suggestions for additions to either list welcomed and considered.
via Stephen Fowler, Georgia-based reporter, on 🐦: "Ok so we have to wait for the clerk’s office to process the #indictments. I’ve been told it’ll take anywhere from 1-3 hours (?!) and then there will be a press conference. Will let you know when we know more."
Misty Hampton, former Coffee County, GA, elections supervisor, was among those #indicted last night in the #Trump#election interference case.
Hampton (who also has used the last names of Martin and Hayes) played a role in blocking a local activist from helping people to vote, part of a long history of #voter suppression.
Jeffrey Clark plotted to reverse Trump’s loss. Now he’s a GOP luminary.
After trying to use the Justice Department to delegitimize the 2020 vote, Clark has become a rising legal star for Republicans
On Jan. 8, two days after a pro-Trump mob ransacked the Capitol and delayed the certification of President Biden’s victory, Clark emailed Rosen saying he planned to leave the Justice Department at noon on Jan. 14.
Michael Podhorzer comments on Peter Baker's article about Trump's indictments yawn-inducing:
"That Times article well characterizes the way in which the road to dystopia continues to be paved by the political class’s inevitable normalizing of (or treating as hyperbole) what, were it happening anywhere else in the world, would be properly understood as the actions and intentions of an increasingly powerful fascist movement."
When a #MAGAt picks up the phone and hears a #pollster from the hated "#liberal#media" ask them about #Trump's #indictments and trustworthiness, they aren't answering the question asked. What they're really hearing is: "Are you ready to admit that you were wrong and liberals were right all along about Trump?" And the answer is always "hell no," because the first rule of #MAGA is to never, ever, under any circumstances, admit that liberals might be right about something.
[The Washington Post] Supreme Court won’t fast-track ruling on Trump’s claim of immunity
Special counsel Jack Smith asked the justices to short-circuit the usual appellate process and quickly settle the question of presidential criminal immunity.
