So...what happens when all those guys are removed?

[jon-nyc]

I don't know - the charges would be different under federal law, one presumes. Do they need a new grand jury? Does a USADA take over? I don't know.

I think it only applies to three of them out of the 18.

[jon-nyc]

So it seems like it’s a federal court trying them under Georgia law. So still a state crime not pardonable by the president.

But maybe a better jury pool for them.

How surrenders work at the troubled Fulton County jail – and why Trump’s will be different

Kind of obvious, but President Trump will not be treated like other criminals.

QUOTE
Normally, those taken into custody are thoroughly searched by a jail deputy. In the past, though, some high-profiled defendants who have voluntarily surrendered were not subjected to that thorough body search, a person familiar with the process told CNN.

Defendants also typically undergo a medical screening and receive a pre-trial consultation to determine whether they can sign out on their own recognizance, although it’s not clear whether those same steps would be taken with Trump and other high-profile defendants.

For an average defendant, the booking process can take hours, much of which can be spent waiting around for their turn to be booked.

I noticed the same thing!

[George K]

My bad. I saw a video of him speaking afterward. He was wearing his traditional red tie.

Not a real mugshot.

CNN has the real Trump mugshot:

David Shafer, a former chairman of Georgia's Republican Party and one of the 19 people charged in the Georgia 2020 election interference case, claimed in a Monday court filing that he and the other Republican electors who attempted to falsely certify a victory for Donald Trump were acting at the direction of the former president.

As defendants in the far-reaching indictment begin to surrender to authorities ahead of the Friday deadline, "Shafer's position signals that some may be poised to turn on the former president," Axios reports.

"Mr. Shafer and the other Republican Electors in the 2020 election acted at the direction of the incumbent President and other federal officials," lawyers for the former GOP chairman wrote in the filing.

@taiwan_girl that's not good...for Trump.

I would be curious to see how he was pressured to falsely certify Trump's victory.
