Trump to Hold Massive Rally in the Face of Bragg’s Potential Indictment

On Saturday, 45th President Donald Trump will take to Waco, Texas to hold a massive rally of supporters who wish to see him elected to a second term in 2024. The rally takes place as Trump is staring down a potential indictment from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D).

Trump’s rally will take place in the Waco Regional Airport on March 25th starting at 5 p.m. with doors opening at noon. Registration for the event can be found here.

Like many of his previous rallies, Trump is expected to see a packed house.

The fact this fat little DA thumbed his nose at the GOP House subpoena, tells everything you need to know about his interest in the rule of law. 

I don't know the logistics of this, but just how does a entity in NYC law enforemcent body arrest a FL resident?  NYC cops? 
This might end up being the best Keystone Cops episode we've seen in awhile.

Extradition.  It's actually very common.

Short answer is that the Governor of NY will contact the Governor of Fla..  Florida law enforcement will then seize and hold that person, and then NY law enforcement will travel to Fla., pick up the person, and then travel back to NY.

Short answer is that the Governor of NY will contact the Governor of the other state.  Law enforcement of that other state will then seize and hold that person, and the extracting state Will have its law enforcement people travel to that state, pick up the person, and then travel back to their own state.

Will the person in question have the opportunity to contest the extradition in Florida prior to being shipped off to NY?

And if that happened it would be political suicide for DeSantis. 

This thing is dead in the water before it started.

Fighting the extradition would be stupid (so therefore plausible for Trump) as it would only delay the process and maybe extend his time in custody when that time should be spent in a courtroom.

I believe that extradition is governed, at least in part, by the U.S. Constitution and by federal statute.

Also, there appears to be very limited discretion on the part of a state governor when it comes to extradition:

Quote
In a 1987 case, Puerto Rico v. Branstad, the court overruled Dennison, and held that the governor of the asylum state has no discretion in performing his or her duty to extradite, whether that duty arises under the Extradition Clause of the Constitution or under the Extradition Act (18 U.S.C. § 3182), and that a federal court may enforce the governor's duty to return the fugitive to the demanding state.  There are only four grounds upon which the governor of the asylum state may deny another state's request for extradition:

the extradition documents facially are not in order;
the person has not been charged with a crime in the demanding state;
the person is not the person named in the extradition documents; or
the person is not a fugitive.

Source:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extradition_law_in_the_United_States

As a result, I rather doubt DeSantis would have much say in the matter.

However, since the Court said that a federal court may enforce the obligation to extradite, DeSantis might take the option of refusing to extradite, and leave it to the federal courts and the U.S. marshals to enforce extradition against Trump.

Depending on how DeSantis plays that, it might lead to an interesting result.

Legally bound and degrees of cooperation are two different things.

I can see DeSantis being able to throw 15 levels of beauacracy and legal entanglements to snarl the process.

Also, what level of zeal might the LEO's have in snaring Trump.  They can knock three times, walk away, and in the spirit of the law met that obligation.

My point is and was that if it looks like DeSantis is overcooperative, it won't help him politically.  Furthermore, DeSantis might counter that since Bragg won't respond to a congressional subpoena on D.A's motive, he can or might say there are circumstantial factors that preclude a surrender.  Even via a filed injunction on the extradition filing.

Two sides can fight bull shit frivilous political persecutions.

In which case, DeSantis may simply be best served by refusing to cooperate, and letting the federal courts and the U.S. marshals enforce the extradition request.

It is my understanding that a governor has very little discretion about whether to comply with an extradition request.

Which would put RDS in the proverbial rock and a hard place.  Any paperwork with his name on it getting DJT back NYC will be damaging campaign fodder in '24.

If that was Trump's intent, he is more politically shrewd  than I realized.

How many votes he got in the presidential election has nothing to do whether or not he should be charged  with a crime.

It could be interpreted as some kind of veiled threat? A “I have the numbers behind me if you should try to charge me” threat

Why throw that out there?

I don’t know if you ever saw that movie “Last of the Mohicans” that came out in the early 90s, but they had a portrayal of the battle of Fort William Henry.  Major General Montcalm gives a generous offer to the British commander, Colonel Monroe, for surrender of the Fort, which Monroe accepts

Then it goes to a scene where Montcalm meets with the leader of his Huron allies, Maugua, who is angered by the peace agreement, because he wants his revenge on the British. Montcalm tells Maugua that because Monroe agreed to his terms, he must honor their surrender, but he believes their general will not honor it and put the men back into fighting. He gives a long look at Maugua as a kind of hint that he’s free to do whatever he wants. Later, the Hurons attack the retreating British.

This is what these rants of Donald Trump remind me of

IMO we are seeing the real Trump.  He was over the edge after the 2020 election now he has gone over the edge even further.  Something tells me that he is in legal trouble for real and he is going to drag the party and the Conservative movement down with him.


Maybe this is a valuable lesson on why a person's character is important.  Maybe it's time to rethink why we should listen to the pundits who pushed him (and I mean people like Levin, Hannity, and others) in 2016 and still continue to push him!

Whether you like Trump or not he is a former president and what he and his supporters do will have an impact on the GOP's chances of being seated in '24.

I too believe he is in legal trouble and I've said it many times; the left is going to continue to hound him and keep him tied up in court so that he won't be able to run.

After the crappola that Trump has recently pulled and now him threatening DeSantis' staffers, I started to watch the rally and I couldn't help but see Trump in a different light.  I've lost interest in him.

Unhinged orange man!

The thing with DeSantis' staffers is so petty, and the exact opposite of leaving a door cracked to bring the party together after the primary.   He's just going scorched earth on everyone who isn't on his side, and that's going to rub a lot of GOP voters the wrong way.

Trump smearing one of the most conservative governors we have is not acceptable. The unhinged orange man disgusts me. DeSantis is my governor.  He's done well for Floridians.

I will NOT vote for Trump.  I have now absolutely decided to either abstain from voting or just vote down ballot.

1. He isn't going to get the independent voters
2. He will not get supporters of RDS if he continues down this pat
3. He isn't going to get the suburban voters

Trump: DeSantis Begged Me for an Endorsement with 'Tears in His Eyes'
Nick Gilbertson

Former President Donald Trump trashed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) at the first rally of his 2024 presidential campaign in Waco, Texas, on Saturday night.

Trump hit DeSantis on a number of fronts, including Social Security, Medicare, and the coronavirus pandemic, but his harshest criticism came on the issue of loyalty.

Trump recounted that an emotional DeSantis approached him during Florida’s 2018 gubernatorial primary race against Adam Putnam and essentially begged for an endorsement to help land the nomination:

    But I’m a loyalist, and when a man comes to me, tears in his eyes, he’s at almost nothing in the polls, and he’s fighting somebody that’s at 42 [percent], and he’s got almost $30 million in the bank. He’s at almost nothing, he’s got no cash, and I said, ‘I can’t give you an endorsement. There’s no way you can win. You’re dead.’

DeSantis responded, “Sir, if you endorse me, I’ll win. Please. Please, sir, endorse me,” according to Trump.

Unless he has sold it all,he owns a LOT of commercial property in NY,and all that turd has to do is wait for him to come to NYC to check on his property and do what all property owners have to do to keep things maintained,and then arrest him there.

Meanwhile,Bragg is probably enjoying "rock star" fame in NYC.

Short answer is that the Governor of NY will contact the Governor of Fla..  Florida law enforcement will then seize and hold that person, and then NY law enforcement will travel to Fla., pick up the person, and then travel back to NY.

@Maj. Bill Martin

Do you think DeSantis will go along with that? Remember,he wants to run for President,too.

BTW,being a little Machiavellian here,but what are the chances of the left arranging this whole thing in order to try  to suck DeSantis into it and "kill two birds with one stone"?
 
You can bet your bippy that DeSantis would lose most of the "mushhead moderate" yankee votes if he would be seen to be supporting Trump  by trying to block extradition.

DeSantis will never admit to thumbing his nose to the extradition order in principle, but his level of zeal of executing is another.

Well, the federal side of things is what Bragg is trying to use to turn a NY misdemeanor into a NY felony.  The underlying violation of NY law has to do with the claim that business records were falsified, which is a misdemeanor on its own.

Still, a misdemeanor is an extraditable offense, so that's all Bragg needs to get extradition is an indictment on the business records violation.

Of course, I believe that, as a misdemeanor, the statute of limitations may have run, so that should present a basis for contesting extradition if Bragg only gets an indictment on the business records violation.

The thing to keep in mind is that this is all based on NY law, and even the claim that the business records falsification was in order to pursue a federal elections violation ultimately turns on what the standard of proof is under NY law - without researching the subject, it is possible that the NY jury could be permitted to draw its own conclusions regarding whether the NY prosecutor proved a violation of non-NY law beyond a reasonable doubt as a predicate showing to whether the underlying NY law was violated.

Ultimately, it all turns on what NY law says.

My understanding is that there are ways under NY law to make this a felony.  The lowest level possible, but still a felony.

Not that I don't think the entire thing is bogus and politically motivated, because it is.  And one thing that confirms that is the timing.  This case, the threatened case in Ga., etc. all could have been brought a year ago.  They weren't either because they didn't have merit, or the Democrat DA's were timing it to interfere with his campaign as much as possible, which is absolutely reprehensible.

@Right_in_Virginia  ???? It is absurd for Trump to even say this when DeSantis hasn't even declared he's running!! "It's a time for choosing??? Seriously??? 

The Orange One is unhinged!

I'm reading your posts @libertybele and thinking Trump being "unhinged" isn't what you should be concerned about.

I would THINK that at one point or another an obviously political prosecution like this can backfire if the prosecution never makes an honest effort to bring it to trial,and end up turning up votes for the candidate they were trying to torpedo?

Always a risk, but Trump is currently doing his level best to make sure that doesn't happen.

I think it would really consolidate and reenforce his base, but lets step back a moment, and think what would be the overall impact on the 2024 election if a mug shot of Trump existed.

I think it hurts him with moderate voters.  The general sheeple doesn't care about the details...   they just want soundbites and 10 second clips. All they will remember is Orange on Orange and a sneering Trump.

Roe v. Wade in 2022 was a good example, and how the dims exploited it

@catfish1957

I guess it could go  either way,depending on who is reading about it and where they live.

Yeah,  but Trump or any other GOP candiate needs purple states to become POTUS.

Whether he pulls 60% vs. 80% in Wyoming, Texas, Oklahoma means nothing.

Whether Trump is the victim of a blatantly political prosecution certainly will impact how I judge those prosecuting Trump, but it won't impact my view of Trump himself, or how I plan to vote.

@catfish1957


I'm not so sure about Texas.


I think Trump is going to lose Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina.


Along with Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania again.


So yes he will lose the purple states.

Agreed and IMO if he keeps attacking DeSantis he may lose Florida as well.  Consider that DeSantis won counties in the mid-terms that no other governor has won in a very, very long time.  Mostly poor and Latino areas.

Fraud exists, but is overrated.  It mainly serves as a ready-made excuse for Trump supporters who do not want to take ownership in their decision.  I see most of them repeating some version of "it won't matter who is nominated because ... "  Republicans simply have to adapt to 21st century voting habits, and maximize the early vote, as DeSantis did in Florida.

And I’ve never heard a good explanation as to why Republicans did much better in downticket races than anticipated in 2020 if the race was a complete robbery

There are so many people out there who just hated Trump.   I supported Trump in both 2016 and 2020, had friends/relatives who weren't flaming lefties, and they were absolutely closed to the idea of voting for him.  And not because of how he portrayed in the media - it was because the stuff that came out of his own mouth.  Especially women.  Those voters are never coming back to him, ever.

I was a little surprised he held onto North Carolina last time, albeit barely.  Biden smoked him in the urban areas.  Dems have won them lately, but this time it wasn't even close.  For the same reasons, Texas is more of a problem than people realize.

Same here I see two scenarios:


1. Trump is on the top ticket with Cruz running for reelection which is going to be an issue for Cruz. Cruz can lose. Hell in 2018 he almost lost to Beto.


2. DeSantis or someone else on the top ticket Cruz will win, but not a blowout.


Texas is NOT a safe red state anymore.

@cato potatoe

Regardless of who  you are or what party you represent, it's hard to beat offers/promises of "free money if you vote for me!",and that is what the cities have to offer these days.

Truthfully,did ANY of you expect to see state and city governments like we now have in places like Oregon,California,and Washington state?

Like all of you,I have seen photos and read news stories from all of them,and still have a hard time believing it is true.

No we are not safe.

But imho, Cruz's near loss was due to an influx of Dems, an influx of out of state money for Beto...and the crap that Trump threw at him. Yes, I hold him responsible to a degree.

  Also a significant amount of butt hurt Trumpers split their ticket and voted for Abbott and not Cruz (not saying they voted for beto, just left it blank).

I'm almost certain that Donald voted for Charlie Crist last November.  He once hosted a $500 per plate fundraiser for Charlie.

You notice he credits Charlie instead of Jeb, out of personal spite.  Jeb was a low key but transformational leader after 120 years of nearly uninterrupted democrat governors.  Charlie is everything Donald pretends to hate, but surrounds himself with.

Another Trump rally, oh joy!

I attended one of his rallies, with an estimated 70,000 there in Macon, GA.  IT WAS ELECTRIC!  Magnificent!

BUT, doing everything the exact same way as the previous election, and expecting a different outcome is not smart.  Some argue that is the definition of a form of insanity. 

In neither his first two elections, did he see the value/need to have a ground game.  Again, the arrogance/ego of Trump knows no bounds.  What is the value of a strong ground game?  You build an organization of people loyal to your campaign, loyal to you the candidate.  From these ranks you can find people that can fill appointee positions in the government you would form.  But Trump understands this not in the slightest.

Perhaps if he did, he would not have kept 1,500+ Obama appointees in positions for well over a year after taking office.  Sadly, Trump only hears the voice in his own head.  Trump doesn't need anyone else, he believes he, and only he, can do everything on his own.  He did not learn a single lesson from his first term in office.

Last thing I want is someone that lost to a dead from the neck up fool who has turned this nation into a sh*thole.  Trump is a loser, he lost once to this fool, do we really need to suffer through this painful nonsense a 2nd time?  Trump has zero chance to beat Biden, or any other Democommie for the simple dark reason that the elections are fixed.  And the Dems were quite arrogant about doing it in 2020.  They will be more brazen in 2024.  And the Republican part of the Uni-party will do nothing a 2nd time.

It will be Biden by a landslide.  How can you say that?  Because while most people do not like Biden, they will tolerate his incompetence versus Trump's incessant belligerence, ignorance, arrogance and inability to work with others to build any consortium to generate legislative votes to accomplish ANYTHING!!!

Ross Perot would be screaming gridlock on steroids if Trump were to become POTUS again, if he were still around to say it, that is.
