4. Only if it is reported on during the debate. I would hold off and not give him the

attention for a few days. Just say it is happening and don’t expand further.

7. TFG's lawyers are negotiating to keep TFG's mug shot taken

I suspect that TFG's lawyers will also object to TFG being weighed

Contrary to his tough public talk, Donald Trump’s lawyers are trying to negotiate not to have his mugshot photo taken as he surrenders in Georgia.

Hugo Lowell of The Guardian tweeted:

When Trump was initially indicted in the classified documents case, he wanted his mugshot taken because he thought it would help his campaign, but with indictment four in the books, Trump has changed his tune. Trump doesn’t want his mugshot taken. Instead, the campaign has a photoshopped graphic they have been fundraising off of that they want to keep using.

The Fulton County sheriff said that Trump will be treated like anyone else who surrenders to law enforcement and will not be given special treatment. Since the warrant for Trump’s arrest has already been issued, the terms of surrender conversation is a courtesy. If Trump wants to hold out for no mugshot, the arrest warrant against him can be enforced after the Friday surrender deadline.

8. Good Grief! More "special treatment??"

He needs to be treated like any other criminal - like his fellow insurrectionists, because that's what he is - and he's the criminal who was responsible for this entire national controversy so needs to be held accountable.
