I don't think it's going to happen but it's as plausible as trump being paraded around in handcuffs on Tuesday like some seem to think. All that anyone knows is based on a post trump made. trumps own lawyers have said that they haven't received any notice. No DA is going to indict a former President without notifying the Attorneys. At this point trumps just stirring things up and it looks like he has gotten both the left and the right all riled up.
Even if he is indicted on Tuesday he'll just post bail.
He's in Florida and can fight extradition and remain free during that process which can take months
Extradition Bond
If you were arrested in Florida on a felony warrant issued in another state, then you can seek an emergency bond hearing in the jurisdiction where you are being held while awaiting extradition. This bond is often called the “extradition bond” in Florida.
Once the extradition process plays out in court then the Governor has to issue the extradition warrant. Would desantis do it? He could stall as well.
That trump is turning himself in on Tuesday is just something he said and is not based on any known factual information anyway. There is also the fact that getting an indictment is easier than getting an actual conviction. The star witness Michael Cohen is a disgruntled former employee that recently got out of prison. No credibility issues there. Reasonable doubt.
Looks like community based care is an option in New York. A good team of lawyers could make a case to a judge to go straight to that treatment. trumps wouldn't be in the same category as those that push people onto a Subway platform.
There's no victim. Stormy got paid to keep her mouth shut.
