NY authorities preparing for Trump indictment; Trump's lawyers says Trump will turn himself in




Three stories broke in rapid succession that make clear - it's been a really bad 24 hours for former President Donald Trump.

First, New York City law enforcement authorities have been making security preparations for Donald Trump, anticipating he will be indicted next week. Trump's defense attorney announced that Donald Trump will self-surrender/ voluntarily turn himself in to authorities once he's indicted.

And in the biggest development, Chief Judge Beryl Howell orders Trump attorney Evan Corcoran to testify to the grand jury because the attoreny-client relationship falls as a result of the crime fraud exception. In other words, Trump used his lawyer to facilitate his (Trump's) criminal conduct.

This video takes on what happens once attorney Corcoran appears before the grand jury. - Glenn Kirschner - 03/17/2023.

He forgets that not everyone in America is a right-wing lemming, like most Republicans these days are.

And his finally getting indicted is not going to help - except maybe for the truly deluded who already believe he can do no wrong.

And he believes these cases against him ("so unfair!" ) - plus the spectacle of turning himself in - might just be enough to do that, and endear him further with those who think he can do no wrong.

Like all things Trump, it's all predicated on a lot of assumptions and wishful thinking - but, we'll see.

And it would sue work for me if he no longer dominated the news.

You can bet that he will milk that opportunity for everything he can.

I'm sure that he's going to want to make a statement and if they give him the opportunity God knows what he'll say and how long he'll go on talking.

Watch for a suggestion for him to get his MAGA's to go to bat for him. He'll be trying to incite them - just like he did on J6.
