Thursday's Thrilling Absurdities: Trump Grand Jury Now on Vacation and DeSantis's Timing Problems Grow
Yesterday, I predicted that Stalinist Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg would likely announce late Friday that he has disbanded his grand jury and will not be seeking any indictments against Donald Trump. About two hours after I posted that, this news broke:
That’s right: Bragg is sending the jury off on a month-long vacation, with the obvious hope being that his buddies in the corrupt news media will just let the story die in the meantime so he can quietly shut it all down in late April.
Here’s an excerpt from the story at Politico:
NEW YORK — The Manhattan grand jury examining Donald Trump’s alleged role in a hush money payment to a porn star isn’t expected to hear evidence in the case for the next month largely due to a previously scheduled hiatus, according to a person familiar with the proceedings.
The break would push any indictment of the former president to late April at the earliest, although it is possible that the grand jury’s schedule could change. In recent weeks, the Manhattan district attorney’s office hasn’t convened the panel on certain days. But it is District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prerogative to ask the grand jury to reconvene if prosecutors want the panel to meet during previously planned breaks.
The grand jury, which heard testimony in the Trump case on Monday, isn’t meeting Wednesday and is expected to examine evidence in a separate matter Thursday, the person said. The grand jury, which typically meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, is scheduled to consider another case next week on Monday and Wednesday, the person said, and isn’t expected to meet Thursday due to the Passover holiday.
The following two weeks are set to be a hiatus that was scheduled when the grand jury was first convened in January, the person said.
A spokesperson for the Manhattan district attorney’s office declined to comment.

Man, the polling and focus grouping data on this issue must be absolutely horrendous for the Democrats. If it weren’t, Trump would have already been arrested and perp-walked.
Don’t expect this case to be a topic of discussion on this coming Sunday’s fake news shows, after dominating them all for the past two weeks. Because that is how our propaganda media works.
