Palm Beach Plans for Possible Trump Indictment
May 13, 2021 at 6:31 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“Law enforcement officials in Palm Beach County, Fla., have actively prepared for the possibility that Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance could indict former President Donald Trump while he’s at Mar-a-Lago, according to two high-ranking county officials involved in planning sessions,” Politico reports.

“Among the topics discussed in those meetings: how to handle the thorny extradition issues that could arise if an indictment moves forward.”

“An obscure clause in Florida’s statute on interstate extradition gives Gov. Ron DeSantis the ability to intervene and even investigate whether an indicted ‘person ought to be surrendered’ to law enforcement officials from another state — which means that as Mar-a-Lago prepares to close down for the season and Trump relocates to Bedminster, N.J., it isn’t just the Florida heat he’s leaving behind: He could lose a key piece of political protection.”

1. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. I can't take it.

[Best_man23]

2. I don't think he'll leave Florida after Mar-a-Lago closes

I'm sure the "finest legal minds" who are loyal enough or ignorant enough to represent him have already told him he has better protection in Florida than he would in New Jersey, New York, or Virginia.

[Botany]

6. This could be why he moved to Florida from NYC as President.

Merde Logo Trump's Alamo



Trump as Davey Crockett

Don Jr. as Sam Bowie

Eric as Col. Travis

[FSogol]

19. Remember the Mar-a-lamo!

[GB_RN]

62. Marm-a-Lardo!

[Eyeball_Kid]

32. OT: Wasn't it "Jim Bowie" and "Sam Houston"? n/t

[Botany]

34. Posting from memory

Botany =

[LymphocyteLover]

13. Yup. The shitbeast will availa himself of every possible means of protection

and his corrupt party will use every tool in the book to protect him

[GoodRaisin]

50. Certainly not if he can be protected from extradition. nt

[radical noodle]

53. If he wants to play golf he'll almost have to go

He's too fat and out of shape to play golf down here in the summer. Besides, he thinks he's invincible.

[Grins]

66. He's already left!!! He's in New Jersey!

He left last Monday on a private jet (not his ugly 757).

[DENVERPOPS]

71. Think about this

The head of the DOJ, calls the head of the Secret Service and tells him to have the head SS agent at mar a lago protection detail arrest trump, hand cuff him, take him to the airport, there will be a plane already there ready to transport him back to DC or NY or wherever......

If DeSantis tries to intervene with extradition shit, have them also arrest him for obstruction of justice........

Hilary could also spread a rumor that Trump is still secretly being held in Mar a Lago where he is being imprisoned by Bill and Hillary Clinton and Obama in the basement and that all his cult should go there and search the entire compound room for room and free him.......

[BoringUsername]

3. Florida is so corrupt. n/t

[Roland99]

4. Great, media. Tip him off

lol

[gab13by13]

7. You don't have to add the lol, I agree with you.

[LymphocyteLover]

14. Haha!

[PJMcK]

36. Isn't it a journalist's job to report facts?

You know, without prejudice.

Trump knows he's under multiple investigations. His lawyers have told him all of his exposures and liabilities. As stupid as Trump is, he's smart enough to know he's a crook facing real problems.

I've got no problem with journalists letting us know what is happening. Don't we hear a lot of complaints when we don't hear any news?

[PatSeg]

55. Yes, all his legal problems

are closing in on him from numerous sides and I'm quite sure he knows it. However, after a lifetime of evading the law, I'm sure on some level he believes he can pull it off again. After all he IS a former U.S. president and he probably thinks that provides some kind of protection, but I think he is wrong. There is a first time for everything. He has made far too many enemies and they are not going away.

[RegularJam]

5. Republicans continue to show...

What well regulated militias are. It’s not Ted down the street. Jeb threatened the feds with the FL National Guard. These people are looking at law enforcement. None of them bellowed out from a seashell to call up the Red Neck contingent.

[LymphocyteLover]

15. What did Jeb threaten the Feds over?

[RegularJam]

31. People in the W administration were considering sending the feds...

To take control of Terri Schiavo. Jeb told them they would be met and stopped by the Florida National Guard. The administration backed down.

Interestingly enough, Jeb was hell bent on the state taking possession of her as well. He backed down after exhausting his options in the courts and being told by the Pinellas Park Sheriff Department that they were willing to use force to stop the federal and state government if they attempted to come onto the property to take control.

That was the whole governmental crisis during that time. That is why it was so close to becoming a constitutional crisis. In the end, W and Jeb backed down.

[PCIntern]

35. Fredo and Michael feuding?

[RegularJam]

38. Awesome!

It was a great display of Conservative cucks trying to out conservative one and other while simultaneously trying to overtake more local government entities.

[LymphocyteLover]

70. oh yeah-- totally forgot about that whole ridiculous episode

that was an early sign for me just how completely insane the GOP is

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. Then arrest DeSantis if he interferes with Federal/State investigations

If that is at all possible. Trump is a criminal and DeSantis would be aiding and abetting.

[Oppaloopa]

37. Yes please

[ancianita]

61. Not if he's following FL law. Doesn't mean he's not aiding and abetting, but that would

have to come out in court. Not sure he'd be willing to risk that, though, once pendejo is out of FL's state jurisdiction.

[Thrill]

9. They're going to need the Feds to get Trump out of there

[C_U_L8R]

10. A candycorn-colored rat in a gilded cage

The heat and humidity are gonna do a number on his spray tan. Like the Giuliani drip.

[Oppaloopa]

39. Yes just picture them standing next to each other and it happening to both at once.

[GoCubsGo]

56. Just wait until the first hurricane hits the area...

His dump will be underwater. Maybe he'll float away into oblivion.

[Buns_of_Fire]

11. Okay, so bottle him up in Florida. As soon as he crosses

the state line, arrest his ass. And then arrest the rest of him.

It'd sure put a crimp in any plans for a coast-to-coast Magapalooza Tour.

[intheflow]

27. Yes!

I mean, Zoom is okay in a pinch but it won't feed his massive ego to stand before his subjects and have them cheer his bullshit for hours in real time.

[Jon King]

12. Desantis is in a win-win in his sick mind.

You could see this setting up for a while now. Desantis will go through the non extradition fight, eventually lose it, Trump out of the way, and Desantis comes off as the MAGA hero and inherits the base.

One thing about having rats as friends, they are still rats. Desantis is playing Trump as much as the other way around.

I keep saying Desantis is our #1 next threat. He is a very, very crafty authoritarian scum bag who is Trump part 2 in his mind.

[LymphocyteLover]

16. Hmm, seems plausible

[gab13by13]

17. DeSatan can investigate,

but in the end there is no way in hell that a state can protect a person from prosecution. WTF, no extradition between certain states would be irrational.

[SergeStorms]

33. Florida is completely irrational.

Disney World and Universal Studios have nothing on the State House in Tallahassee. The State Motto is, "Temporary suspension of disbelief? We invented it! Come on down to Florida for the fantasy of your life!"

[FSogol]

18. I got this: Lift him with a 60 foot boom crane onto a flatbed truck and drive to Federal Jailhouse

in Alexandria, VA to await trial. Of course, first you might have to shutoff the water, electric, and diet coke delivery service to the resort.

[panader0]

23. Rikers Island would be my preference

[FSogol]

25. Ok, but only if he's placed in general population. n/t

[NJCher]

30. They are closing rikers

But come to think of it, put him there all by himself and some guards.

[gab13by13]

20. Serve him with a summons,

then the ball is in his court.

[SayItLoud]

21. When he steps off the 24 Year old jet in NJ

The NJ LEO's will be waiting...

Well, I can dream can't I ?

[Kingofalldems]

22. Isn't he in NJ now?

[fierywoman]

44. He flew to NJ on Mother's Day.

[AKwannabe]

26. THIS is the reason that

fuckstick moved to FL.

Bunch a fucksticks and they can all stay there.
Never been and now it’s all spoiled. Won’t ever go to FL.

[Crunchy Frog]

63. I'm glad that I got to go there as a child.

Got to go to Disney world shortly after it first opened. The beaches were pretty pristine with lots of cool shells and interesting little sea creatures.

I'd never set foot in there now, apart from in the airport on the way to leaving the country.

[malaise]

28. WTF?

Get him in New Jersey

[Blue Owl]

29. Bring in the crane

And haul that hulking fat fuck out kicking and screaming

[bucolic_frolic]

40. America is unprepared for a nationwide celebration

not to mention supply shortages in the champagne pipeline

[getagrip_already]

41. lets play this out... what happens if desleazebag won't extradite him?

Can he be tried in abstentia? Can assets be seized until he complies? Could a federal judge over rule FL courts? Would it go to scotus as an interstate squabble?

[Tommy Carcetti]

42. Palm Beach County States Attorney is Dave Aronberg, a Democrat and a good guy.

You'll often see him on CNN and MSNBC as a guest.

Don't know if he'd have any involvement at all in such a process--given that he's on a state and not a federal level--but if he does, I trust him to facilitate everything properly.

[ScratchCat]

43. Look Folks

He WILL be indicted by The State of New York on tax fraud charges at minimum. Despite what these articles try to imply, The State of Florida can't deny extradition based upon the language of some antiquated Florida Statute. A federal judge will approve extradition and US Marshals will take him into custody if he does not surrender. No federal court would rule that the Governor of one State has the power to decide if the indictment from another State is "valid".

[keithsw]

45. I have said all along

DeathSantis would not let him be arrested. He owes his entire political career to Trump. Rick Scott crony Adam Putnam was the heir apparent to the Florida Governorship. That is UNTIL Trump gave DeathSantis his endorsement. Sometimes I hate being right. ( And I hope I'm not this time )

[ananda]

46. I knew it!

I was thinking about the possibility that
Florida wouldn’t extradite Trump a few
days ago.

This is ugly.

[Rebl2]

47. Why couldn't

the governor, if he decides not to let law enforcement officials arrest trump, be arrested for obstruction of justice.

[ScratchCat]

52. Anyone who attempted to interfere

Would be arrested immediately. The claim that The Governor has some say so is patently ridiculous. NY State will have a valid indictment, a valid arrest warrant and a valid extradition approved by a Federal Judge if DeSantis tried anything at all. Trump would be a fugitive from justice. Guess what the Feds can do? His bank accounts? Locked. Phones? Shut off. He would be a prisoner in his home for the rest of his life. US Marshals would take him into custody the second he stepped onto public property. What's Florida going to do? Succeed from the Union to protect a 75-year old con man? Start a war?

[LaMouffette]

48. These indictments must go forward and I hope Trump sees jail time, but I can just imagine

the reaction from his devoted cult members. They will see any indictment of Trump as evidence that the Dems are out to get their hero. Not that I care much for their feelings, but I'm so sick of the drama. *Sigh.* Trump is going to be a festering boil on the butt of America forever.

[PortTack]

49. If such would happen and he's marooned if FL..permanently..he won't be running for any office!!

[Crunchy Frog]

64. Nor would he be helping to primary the slightly saner Rs.

[Warpy]

51. I imagome much of Palm Beach will be quietly glad to see him go

so I expect only token resistance, most of it from his lawyers.

It's going to be thornier if NY gets him back there, there is no way they can let him out on bail, he's a massive flight risk.

Or maybe that's the idea, brush his enormous butt out of the country, deprive the Nazis of their Fuhrer, show hm up for the frightened little boy he really is, letting them take the rap while he finds a sunny beach somewhere.

[ScratchCat]

57. I'd imagine a NY State Judge

would order that his passport be taken and maybe order some sort of "house arrest". No chance any judge on any level orders him held in jail. Not on tax fraud charges. Not a former POTUS. No chance.

[Warpy]

59. I'm sure John Barron as a passport

and possibly his other alter egos, as well. I can see the ankle bracelet in his marble and gilt monstrosity in Dumdum Tower. I agree that he's never going to see the inside of a holding cell with drunks and petty crooks. Secret Service will make sure they treat him like an aristocrat, not a citizen.i

Ankle bracelets can be removed, all he needs are some of Melania's jewelry fabrication tools. A private jet will whisk him off, and one of his alternative passports will serve him well.

[Marcuse]

54. He'll always have Moscow.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

58. And, Moscow can keep him. Always. nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

60. Come on, admit it.

Isn't a part of you dying to know what the Twitterless Buffoon would be saying about Palm Beach about now?

[bedazzled]

65. He is having a 250,000 per person fundraiser at bedminster on the 22nd

Can you imagine being stupid enough to give him any money at all

[Buns_of_Fire]

68. $250,000.00 ???

As in "---Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100---" dollars?

I hope they at least get supersized fries with their hamberder.

[bedazzled]

69. iceburg lettuce salad

and one scoop of ice cream

[CCExile]

67. Maybe we could get Serge Storms to reason with the Orange Mistake if he returns to Florida.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

72. Anonymous Twitter member said indictment imminent. nt

[BGBD]

73. DeSantis can't help Trump

He could at best delay as long as it took NY to file a suit and the Supreme Court to order them to, which they would based on the Extradition Clause, the Extradition Act, and their own precedent. At that point DeSantis could hand him over or face contempt and the US Marshals/Secret Service would do it for him.

If Trump wants to beat extradition he better leave Palm Beach and head to Sochi.
