NEW TRUMP INDICTMENTS COULD COME TODAY (OR NOT!) 7.25.23

EPISODE 253: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump may be indicted for the January 6th attemped coup – today. Or, not!

But clearly as of 1 PM eastern at the Prettyman Courthouse in DC, the window TO indict is open for the first time on this 10th day since Trump received Jack Smith’s 2nd Target Letter. The window from Target Letter to indictment last time might have been as short as 10 days, maybe as long as 20.

Plus what could be at the center of a THIRD set of indictments: more testimony from Trump staffers that he knew damn well that the election wasn’t stolen and that he didn’t win it. And that in February 2020 he even praised the improved election security and audit capability for paper ballots, nine months before the 2020 Presidential Election.

And Trump online: reposts Marjorie Pornography Greene’s “little bitch” quote about the Special Prosecutor, and a moronic poll over Republicans’ “Dream President”

Plus: obeying Supreme Court rulings is now optional. Who knew? That's the verdict from the Republican Governor of Alabama Kay Ivey, and the Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy. So I guess Roe-V-Wade wasn’t overturned and that key 2nd Amendment case – Heller – doesn’t say anything about the right to own a gun after all.

B-Block (16:33) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Doug Burgum, your pro-vigilante presidential aspirant. Ben Shapiro on Barbie: Go Woke Go Broke. World on Barbie? $337 Million opening weekend. My late neighbor Tony Bennett. (23:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Fox blasts USA Women's Soccer team for not singing the national anthem while it NEVER PLAYS the national anthem on the games it televises. Elon Musk doesn't OWN "X" for social media (and no, he's NOT calling them 'Xeets') and the World Trade Center promotes itself with a photo of the building - and a passenger jet.

C-Block (28:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: In an all-new edition, I have two stories about baseball's newest Hall of Famers. Fred McGriff was drafted by the Yankees but traded away as a minor leaguer for garbage because an active Yankees player insisted to George Steinbrenner it was a great deal, and Scott Rolen insisted to me that the highlight of his 1996 season was the elaborate practical joke he, his minor league teammates, the manager, and the umpire concocted and played on me during a game - and he stuck to this even after I reminded him that 1996 was the year he began his Hall of Fame major league career,.
