Probably asked already, but just when did we start believing...

anything Slobfather says?

I first heard about the "arrest" the other day and assumed it was just another questionable leak. Then I hear fat slob said it himself on his own medium.

So isn't the first thing we do is snicker, not treat it as truth?

Any indictment will probably, at first, be secret. The DA will have to petition the court to make it public. State and fed law enforcement is already making plans and getting ready to deal with any demonstrations. I predict that he will be quietly transported to wherever he will be arraigned.

The real trouble will happen after the arraignment if he is released on bond. That's when he will rant and rave his wildest, unless a judge gives him and his lawyers a gag order. Let's hope that happens.

I'm guessing some weekend executive producer saw this story as a way to impress the bosses but pulling out all the stops.

All anybody has to go on is a proven liar posting something on his ruskie-funded social media.

...away again.

However, unless Trump tries to flee, he'll get the rich white man treatment of being asked nicely to appear in court. No arrest. No cuffs. No perp walk.

I seem to recall Hillary pointing that out once.
Does that mean the hammer comes down on Tuesday? I don't know, but I think it's obvious he thinks something bad's going to happen to him soon. If he thought he was beating the rap he'd be bragging about that (and lying about the details).
