Trump Mugshot At Last, A National Disgrace...

 

By EDUARDO PAZ-MARTINEZ

McALLEN, Texas | Well, there it is - Republican Donald J. Trump's mugshot from the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia. I dunno, is it the Elvis look he wanted to portray? Some Star Trek weirdo/mutant character from far outer space somewhere?

He looks guilty as all get-out, is what I'd say.

A smile would have been better for him, although, well, his goose, as they say, may be cooked.

This from usatoday.com: [ Donald John Trump was arrested Thursday evening at Georgia’s Fulton County Jail on charges he tried to steal the 2020 election, the fourth criminal case he faces while currently campaigning for president.

Trump is one of 19 defendants in the indictment that alleges racketeering by a criminal organization that tried to overturn the election results. Local authorities said Trump would be treated like any other defendant.

But the processing – with authorities collecting fingerprints and a photograph – contrasts to his three other cases, in New York, Florida and Washington, D.C., where he was processed at a courthouse during the same trip when he entered a formal plea to charges. His photograph wasn’t required at previous bookings because he is well known.

Trump spent about 20 minutes at the jail before heading back to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport for his flight back to Bedminster, New Jersey.

Trump's Georgia arraignment is expected the week of Sept. 5. ]

It's a process, a long one in this case. Federal courts are even slower. One thing is for sure: Trump and his lawyers have a mountain to climb in fighting his four indictments. Broke he may not be when this is all over, but he'll have less cash than he has now.

Is he still thinking winning the presidency will rid him of his legal troubles?

He may be...
