Sounds like we will know the specific charges on Tuesday when Trump turns himself in.


I thought I read something that said he stated he won't go quietly or was it just hearsay?

I'm curious (as an outsider) about what are the chances his arrest might cause unrest?


Not much coordinated unrest, not immediately at least. His lawyers said he will voluntarily submit for processing, so that won't be the catalyst. January 6th, 2021 had been advertised as the day for many months, by a more cohesive apparatus. Multiple apparati, really. The 6th fractured that, so that even his most ardent supporters are more paranoid about being baited into unrest.

If/when the Georgian DA and federal special prosecutor move towards indictments, things may get dicier.


He's called for his supporters to protest and posted an image of him swinging a baseball bat at the DA's head while calling him a "Soros backed animal". About the indictment, he called the police the gestapo and said "our country is being destroyed, as they tell us to be peaceful!" He is trying to incite violence.
