Grand Jury Expected to Resume Hearing Trump Hush-Money Case on Monday

New York Times

It now appears that any indictment of former President Donald J. Trump would not come until next week at the earliest.

The grand jury hearing evidence about Mr. Trump’s role in a hush-money payment to a porn star typically does not consider the case on Thursdays and does not meet on Fridays, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

The Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg has been questioning witnesses about the role Mr. Trump played in the payment to the porn star, Stormy Daniels, and there have been several signals that the prosecutors are nearing an indictment. Still, the exact timing of any charges remains unknown.

Although the special grand jury hearing evidence about Mr. Trump meets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, it typically does not hear evidence about the Trump case on Thursdays, according to the person with knowledge of the matter. Special grand juries, which unlike regular grand juries sit for months at a time and hear complex cases, routinely consider several cases simultaneously.

Bragg had given up, or because the DoJ had ordered him to stand down, or because TFG had threatened to kill his children, or the lizard people had infiltrated the grand jury, or or or or...

It's so disappointing when things that are normal and explainable happen, and a cigar turns out to be only a cigar.

I thought it was because there was a conflict that could tank the whole case in the 11th hour! That's what Twittter said so it MUST be true!
