Most of us know how this works with wealthy/well connected co-conspirators. The DA calls their lawyer to inform them of the arrest warrant. An arrangement is made where the defendant perpetrator is allowed to set a time to surrender and it is arranged at an odd hour with an entrance through a secured garage so no paparazzi get any pics. surrender is followed by bail and a latte before the defendant is allowed to go home until the trial starts (2-6 years later depending on intervening actions).
So.... No, we weren't waiting. The hype was just the hype, and the handwringing all happened on your side, including some juicy conspiracy stuff about how it was all a Biden plan to get them to act like terrorists (which at least one did by calling in a bomb threat).
But fair question, as you are new here and all.
Thanks for helping the new guy out! Much appreciated.
Anyone still sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for the live broadcast of Trump's arrest & perp-walk?

It was Trump who made up the "Tuesday arrest" story - why should anyone believe any of his publicity-stunt "predictions"? (though apparently some folks do)
DeSantis takes a tiny shot at the big orange buffoon:
âI donât know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair,â DeSantis said as laughter broke out at a news conference in Panama City, Florida. âI just, I canât speak to that.â
I'm not a fan of Trump, have watched him from afar thru the years in the NYC construction industry I was in. I know guys who got screwed out of money working on his projects and think the world would be better off without him. That being said I don't think this is something that they should have pursued. He gave money to a porn star to keep her mouth shut about having lousy sex with him, so what. Crime in NYC is pretty bad, a day doesn't go by that some poor bodega owner is gunned down minding shop. Or brazen and violent theft is a normal way of life. I think that Bragg has more important things to work on. I do believe they are enjoying the time in the lime-light and maybe think this will pave their way to bigger and better things. The election meddling in Georgia or the Jan 6th issue, those I can see being worth pursuing. Not this one.
He probably should have been indicted on cheating people out of money when he was a shady developer... well before he became president.
He's always been able to use power, influence, intimidation. money and the court system to shield himself from any true accountability throughout his entire life. I think this will be the case here as well but that doesn't mean we should pick and choose what he should be held accountable for. He made his bed...

Let's remember they finally got Capone on Tax Evasion.
Former President Donald Trump said he expects to be arrested Tuesday
in Manhattan â and urged his followers to protest his looming
indictment.
âTHE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY
OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!,â he thundered in an all
caps missive to his followers on Truth Social Saturday morning.
He slammed the âCORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYâS OFFICEâ in his post.

So to be clear, are you saying that he shouldn't be held accountable for his actions, or that the consequences of holding accountable for his actions will be so bad that it is not worth holding him accountable for his actions?
Some of the the most ardent supporters will be unable to attend because they are doing time for participation in the last call to "take back our country".

Considering that he's looking at an indictment that includes charges for inciting insurrection, I'd guess someone got to him and said "you can't say that...so I'll say I wrote it".
The stream of consciousness and all caps screams DJT.
