Trump Drops Georgia Lawsuit Over Grand Jury, Promises New Case (Don't forget, a judge that HE APPOINTED just threw his shit out ("Loose" Cannon, take notes). Ya think he's EVER gonna get the message? Probably only when a surly guard snarls, "C'mon, COME ON, GET IN THAT CELL, TRAITOR! Oh, by the by, me and the other guards are gonna go for an en masse coffee break around midnight-you know, the way the guards did that night with your homeboy, Jeffrey Epstein. Sleep WELL, Trumpy!"

While they didn’t agree with the analysis or ruling by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, Trump’s lawyers wrote in a motion Thursday that “there are now other channels to seek judicial review” of the special grand jury and the ability of Willis “to continue forward” with the probe.
Willis has said she’ll make a decision this month on whether to ask a new grand jury to charge Trump and his associates. The special purpose grand jury that Trump is challenging was only advisory and lacked the power to indict. Trump already faces three other indictments, including two by Special Counsel Jack Smith and one by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
On Thursday, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office said it will close streets around the courthouse for two weeks starting on Aug. 7 as a security measure.
