Law enforcement talks continue
Law enforcement discussions have been about how to navigate the potential indictment for a criminal charge by a New York county grand jury and the choreography around the possibility of an unprecedented arrest of a former president. The New York Police Department did not immediately respond to CNNs inquiry following Trumps posts on Saturday.
Trumps US Secret Service detail would deliver him to the Manhattan district attorneys Office for fingerprinting and then taking mugshots in offices of the district attorneys detective squad. As is customary in cases where a defendant is allowed to voluntarily surrender, after arrest processing, the former president would be brought directly to an arraignment before a judge where he would likely be released on his own recognizance.
City, state and federal law enforcement agencies meet about how to prep for possible Trump indictment
Law enforcement officials who are privy to the discussions said several concerns have been discussed in the planning process, including courthouse security and the potential for demonstrations or rallies outs

(4,274 posts)could shed light on a hypothetical. If released on ROR and he runs to another country can he still be on the ballot and run for election? I assume he would still retain his citizenship even while on the run.

(10,916 posts)I suppose it would technically be legal, but campaigning would sure be difficult.
If he was holed up in Russia or something, the ads against him would be brutal.

(23,662 posts)I want to see him dressed in orange with ankle chains and a chain running to an extra-large waist chain with his tiny handcuffs locked to it. I want to see him shuffle to the appearance before a judge that is late and keeps him standing there for 30 minutes or more fuming
A guy can dream I guess

(2,295 posts)Given multiple grand juries, you would hope substantial bail and passport forfeiture. If I were NY, I would want him to not be able to leave the state unless it is for a court appearance.
