New in PJ Media:
Donald Trump announced on Saturday morning that he would be arrested on Tuesday, and the nation has been agog at the prospect of the Leftist establishment crossing the rubicon of arresting its principal opponent on flimsy charges and demonstrating before the entire world that the American republic is now the American banana republic, in which foes of the regime can expect the full weight of corrupt government authority pushing back against them for daring to dissent.
But now it turns out that the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which has Trump in its sights, just may be stepping back from the brink: Business Insider reported Saturday night that Trump’s indictment is “on hold” until one more witness testifies Monday afternoon.
That’s about all that has come to light, as the relevant authorities are being quite closemouthed about this whole thing. Insider says that “a source with knowledge of the investigation” told them on Saturday night “there is one more witness.” The indictment is apparently not a certainty until this witness testifies.
But who is this witness? The Insider’s source wouldn’t say, and so all that we’re told is that “a separate source, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, told Insider that the witness is not Allen Weisselberg, Trump’s former CFO, who is serving a five-month sentence for admittedly masterminding a payroll tax-dodge scheme at the Trump Organization.”
Meanwhile, Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, whose betrayal of his former client started this whole business about Trump having paid hush money to a porn star (which is what he might be arrested for, not any of the literally dozens of other crimes that Democrats have claimed he has committed over the last few years, up to and including trying to overthrow the government of the United States), “has told reporters he expected to be the grand jury’s final witness when he testified last Monday and Wednesday.” So whoever is slated to appear on Monday is a surprise witness.
Insider notes that the grand jury “could conceivably reach a vote” on whether or not actually to indict Trump for trying to buy a hooker’s silence “by the end of Monday’s three-hour session,” but that’s not likely to happen, as “experts” say that “there are several steps between the final testimony and the vote.”
Now, if we have learned anything over the last few years, it’s not to trust the confident assertions of “experts,” but this could well mean that Trump will not be indicted on Tuesday, as there simply won’t be time after the surprise witness testimony on Monday to go through all the necessary steps to issue the indictment. “Once testimony concludes, prosecutors will ‘charge’ the jury, meaning go through the potential counts on a charge sheet one by one, explaining each count in the potential indictment.” Several other steps follow that before there can be any indictment.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Probably waiting for a moment when everyone is relaxed, and then do a Roger Stone type raid on Mar-a-lago

The people in high power of the left-wing are a very slanderous of very most despicable sort.
One lie of the left is that President Trump attempted to organize “his domestic terrorists” Donald Trump had never organized, supported terrorists of any kind.
The other lie is that the American patriots who had been falsely and unjustly arrested in the schemed left wing set up in Washington DC on January 6,2021.are “domestic terrorists.”
Those leftist are also very inconsistent and hypocritical because she refuses to recognizing who the real domestic terrorists are, which are the vicious violent Marxists lawless malicious criminals who make up Antifa and BLM.
David M says
The “domestic terrorist” statement came out of the mouth of the James Brown impersonater Maxine Waters, who is on tape telling Democrats to attack Trump supporters wherever they find them. Hey Maxine, care to tell us how you got a multi million dollar real estate empire on your salary?

One report said the witness is an attorney who had the cohen guy as a client. He’s supposed to say that cohen is a big fat liar….or words to that effect..
Walter Sieruk says
All this terrible harassment of Donald Trump by the vicious and malice-filed leftist in power isn’t really “legal prosecution” it’s actually political persecution.

These people sure are afraid of the one President that declared… ”We must get out of these endless Wars”..
”We cant be the Policeman of the World anymore”… He never started an Wars…He made a deal with the Tali Boys in Kabul and told them that if ONE American dies from the moment we sign this withdrawal deal and the date we leave I will bomb your home with you and your entire family inside it, and then he handed the Tali Boys leader an actual photo of his house outside Kabul.
13 Marines died on that last day and Old Joe sent the Tali Boys a few Million Bucks so they will not call as nasty names.
Treason.
