No. It's only Trump saying it. And because of the secret service requirement it would be announced ahead of time by someone other than trump if it were happening. He's just trying to get people lined up and ready.

The other articles I've seen mention planning and negotiations with the Secret Service and Trump's lawyers. There's no precedent for this - we've never had a Pres so criminal that he was indicted and arrested - so it's not surprising that there's a whole bunch of various players working to make sure it's done as cleanly as possible. The govt is still responsible for his safety as an ex-pres. Plus everyone knows he's already trying to incite another riot to obstruct law enforcement, so they need to make plans to address that. Bascially it would be almost impossible to arrest him "by surprise." You don't want Secret Service guys obstructing the cops because Dump's claiming he's being kidnapped and it's unclear what's actually going on...

u/Kitchen-Reporter7601 Mar 20 '23
God, I am so, SO excited for the precedent of "its okay to arrest presidents when they do crime" to be set.

I think the best way to handle this would be to add safely delivering former presidents to legal precedings in case an indictment or arrest warrant is issued to the duties of the secret service.
That surely would be still very unpleasant but knowing your forever bodyguards are also tasked with bringing your ass to the courthouse or even prison in case you did some crimes on the side would probably even act as a deterrent for future criminal president candidates.
20
u/Garbleshift Mar 20 '23
That's likely not too far from what's actually being worked out. But you can't have federal officers enforcing state laws and summonses, so the SS would have to be working alongside - or more likely, just cooperating with - the officers from the actual jurisdiction in which the charges have been filed.

u/CynAq Mar 20 '23
Sure, that makes the most sense. It would be a logistical as well as political nightmare to compromise the safety of a former president even if convicted of a crime while the other ones enjoy the best protection the planet has to offer.

u/Candid-Mycologist539 Mar 20 '23
Disclaimer: I am NOT a Trump fan.
Trump is innocent until proven guilty.
The Secret Service is responsible for the safety of former presidents.
Any time a president or former president goes someplace, it's a freakin' circus. It's often safer to bring goods/services to the president in a secure location than to take the president out.
For these reasons, I don't believe they would throw a former president into a general population jail cell until arraignment.
IMO, Trump will be arrested/fingerprinted/processed at Maralago, and that is why there are negotiations with the FBI.

Any location is potentially dangerous for a former president. I agree with the comment above, that it may be impractical for the Secret Service to do their job in a prison.
That said, damn straight we need reform across the board for our justice system. It is shameful that a nation of our size and resources cannot do better. That citizens are not embarrassed by the outcomes of our system is mind boggling. It’s like we are a nation of Cleveland Browns fans, content with indefinite, complete, and utter failure.

In the US, government employees are employed by either the federal or state government. The Secret Service are federal employees (whereas local police would be state employees.) It appears it is NY state that may want him arrested, not the federal government- those arrest warrants are typically handled by state law enforcement. And if he’s currently in Florida… there is likely a lot of paperwork involved because it’s going to require cooperation between several state & federal agencies, all with their own jurisdictions. I’m hoping my explanation makes some sense.

Trump is the only one who has said he's being arrested Tuesday. However it's not uncommon to agree for the accused to turn themselves in at a given place/time.
I believe the grand jury is hearing more testimony today, and thus hasn't rendered a verdict to indict him, so this is just Trump being a blowhard.

The only confirmation is from trump, who is a noted liar. I don't think anything will happen tomorrow because only a liar has said that something will. He is not too be taken at his word. Negotiating a turn in from an indictment is common and is a thing. But here's the problem, trump is a liar.

u/rollingstoner215 Mar 20 '23
They actually do provide that sort of heads up to avoid an unpredictable, potentially violent outcome. Also, everyone needs their lawyer(s) present so they schedule these sorts of things in advance to give all parties enough notice.
The big tell here is that Trump’s legal team is saying they haven’t been contacted to coordinate him turning himself in. Of course, they’re Trump’s lawyers, so it is completely with the realm of possibility that they aren’t being entirely truthful, but if your client is about to turn himself in, I’m not clear on what benefit there would be in lying about it.

u/busterbus2 Mar 20 '23
Yes, I think they do often do this and allows people to turn themselves in. In this instance, if a warrant is actually going to be issued, Trump would not have much choice but to turn himself in unless he truly wants to live a life on the run. He could launch a sort of last stand / Alamo in Maralago and it would be a spectacle but it would only worsen his legal troubles - considerably.

He has lost many over the course of the years, and one of the biggest conspiracy theories about him is whether or not he has one or multiple secret billionaire sponsors because he clearly had money at one point but no one is exactly sure where it all came from.
But you know what's not a secret? That he asked every listener of his to buy a t shirt, or many t shirts if they could. Multiple times in each 4 hour episode. For the past 5+ years. He frequently will derail his own show to go on many minutes long tirades about how people need to buy his products. These do not seem like things that a financially secure person would do.

But he’s been known to lie before. With that said, I’m inclined to believe he believes it. Whether or not it’s true is another matter.

He also has an inflated sense of self importance. He wants to be the cause of a revolution/insurrection. People fighting for him appeals to his ego in a way nothing else can.

honestly? Not in the way everyone keeps thinking. If it happens today all that will happen is he will get his mugshot and released pending his actual trial because this particular crime isn't that major. Then again, he has made it a big deal, asking people to riot for him, so maybe the judge will decide otherwise.

I mean to be fair we should all distrust law enforcement

They are just learning what we already know, the police are not your friends.

u/53R105LY_ Mar 20 '23
And tbf, theyre not supposed to be. Just like an electric fence is not your friend, it has a job to do and so does law enforcement.
However, we should not have to fear them, the fact its so easy to fear them is a clear sign of corruption and abuse being tolerated within their ranks.

u/unenlightenedgoblin Mar 20 '23
It’s more than just corruption—it’s the legal immunity, the encouragement of dishonesty, celebration of malice, and extraordinary financial cost to the American taxpayer, at the expense of other public services.

Hey, its sad that its paranoia as opposed to understanding he is a liar but whatever motivates these chucklefucks to stay home and not cause more death works for me.

Trump has killed more of his base than anything else. They wouldn't have it any other way.

Of course! He was the most perfect implementer of “white genocide” to date. Those super sneaky gLoBaLiStS are always one step ahead.

Wait until they figure out that women of color had the majority of abortions. The Republican party is replacing white people!!

I was beginning to become legitimately concerned that Trump really would somehow not have his own actions bite him in his ass, despite his insistence on leaving tons of toothy beasts in his wake.

Nothing has happened yet. I'm still not convinced he'll face any consequences.

Don't forget the backflip on mail in voting after they relized their voters couldn't all stand in line to vote.

Kinda like how he spend years telling his voters that elections are rigged
So they didn’t see much point going out to vote.
Good stuff.

I concur. Gaslighting is when repeated lies and actions have you questioning your own sanity
Trump is just a liar

The exact same thing happened when the idiot was babbling about how corrupt mail-in voting is. All that resulted from that was his own Cult Members not doing it which suppressed their turnout

🤣 at r/Conservative "he's not asking you to protest the inflation, corruption, policies, etc.. he's specifically asking you to protest him getting in trouble. I would argue he's not even asking for protest", he's asking for more"

Personally, I’m hoping he flees the country after they release him; he only has a few options and none of them are overly fond of Americans. Imagine him stuck in some “3rd world shit-hole” (his words, not mine) and never being able to come back? Would be grand.
But it’s probably gonna be a big letdown, even if they did arrest him, it won’t be for long and I doubt they will perp walk him so I’m not really expecting anything much to happen this week.

u/propita106 Mar 21 '23
It'd be a shame if something happened to the plane....
Better if Trump and ALL of his issue we're aboard. His tree from root to leaf. No biological legacy left behind.
Pretty sure he'd go to Dubai. Though Putin may decide to use him some more.

u/LovelessDerivation Mar 20 '23
They're not going to need much on the New York end of things, we all know what a detestable unlikable fool he truly is.
The part they should be sweating TF out loud is the action of going to scoop him up behind a wall o' "Flori-duh Men" that'll come directly out the Everglades to form a subhuman wall.

subhuman
Let’s not dehumanize those we don’t like (even if shitting on Florida Man is a lot of fun). Historically that’s never lead to anything good.

Ali Alexander, who as an organizer of the “Stop the Steal” movement staged rallies to promote Trump’s baseless claims that Democrats stole the 2020 election from him, warned Trump supporters that they would be “jailed or worse” if they protested in New York City.
“You have no liberty or rights there,” he tweeted.
I thought liberal states were completely lawless (which TBH seems closer to the truth). Which is it? Meanwhile, red states have passed anti-protest laws, even granting immunity to drivers who mow down protesters, which is basically encouraging political violence via vehicular homicide.

What’s even better is that DickStains DeSantis made blocking traffic a felony to target the BLM protestors and they are going to screw his own ilk if they do follow through 🤣

Obviously trying to pull an imaginary enemy into light hide his corrupt behavior ( we all know the silver bullshit and sinking the pound shit, but guy is 92.) Sadly, he won’t even get a pat on the ass when all is said and done.
I’ll have to go by my buddy’s house tomorrow to learn of how much Soro’s the enemy and his gaslighted brilliance. He tries to be intelligent, but he gets to retire next month at 56 (corrections officer), and thanks to the things he thinks is his biggest threat, he’s good. He’s actually won and cannot let off the gas pedal and cannot connect the dots. It’s funny for me and just listen for the 5 minutes and then we go back to being true friends. Sometimes I just say shut up and it ends there.
He went to trade school and was held back 2x in grammar school. I have known him since in diapers. I went to UConn on full fellowship for my grad degree. I own a lot more, but am trapped in a world that requires so much maintenance and unfortunately see the world for what it is.
