and they say that it i political. well, alvin bragg will have to try the case or his deputies will be trying the case, and they would not bring the cas if they don t think that the have something legitimate. that s how this works. so they re all getting involved they re making fools o themselves in the process. ron desantis stands up and say well, we re not going to let him leave. we re not going to we are going to support thi extradition. everyone ignored him he showed right then and there that he is likely not to be th nominee. he will defend trump and trump will come out and make him loo like a you know what so it s all falling into donal trump s plan all of it, every single step o the way right now. hold on a minute. it s all falling into donald trump s plan you mean donald trump s plan t fly on up to new york on monda night and get fingerprinted on tuesday? i think that what donal trump is seeking out right now he is looking at the polls a his people are, and he i establishi
you know, it suggests to m that they ve got stron evidence and they want to us all of it. could this be the kind of case in which prosecutors ar trying to file ric racketeering charges buildin these up in an organized fashion? barb it is possible, stephanie rico is used when there is a pattern of racketeerin activity racketeering is a general term that encompasses a lot o different kinds of crimes, tha get used an organized crime, like extortion and bribery and threats and kinds of things. so, it allows the prosecutor t bring together in one case under one umbrella a lot o disparate crimes i guess it s possible. i think in light of what w know, it seems unlikely. but of course, that s why gran juries operate in secret, so prosecutors can do their wor outside of public scrutiny and then spring those charges when they are ready so, it all remains a possibility. susanne, new york might b donald trump s hometown. this is where he has the worst
