He posted to TS that his arrest will be at 7:30pm and he just left NJ within the last hour, apparently. 

how can he do this after normal hours?

Don't answer. I know. Money, reputation, whatever

In this case, no. This particular jail is open to process anyone 24/7.

Again I say it would be nice for his pilot to take one for the team.

I feel like there's a way this could be done without anyone else having to die.

[fernweh]

Is it just me or does Ray Smith look like Conan O’Brien’s evil twin?

[gault]

All of these pictures look like they give limp handshakes with a cold, clammy hand.

[BlondeSpiders]

Eastman looks like the kind of guy who cries during sex.

Goodness, yes!! I hate a bad/weak/poor handshake.

He's on the ground in GA and on his way to Fulton County Jail.

[pixy0stix]

He's landed and on the way in.

This is so great!! I’m in my hotel room watching. I have a work meeting at 7pm but I really want to crack my bottle of wine while I watch this news. 😂

[beetea]

I was secretly hoping he would trip as he excited the plane. Sadly, he did not.

[neverfstop]

i'm actually about to turn the TV on, which i never do in the evening...

I think his mugshot should get it's own thread that gets to stay pinned at the top of the board at least until his trials start.

[icedcoffee]

Will he smile in his mugshot like Jenna Ellis?!?

And maybe do that stupid thumbs up thing he does?

He's gonna be pissed that he won't be able to review it and do it over again or have it retouched before releasing it 

[TR]

I hope he’s giving a thumbs up and grinning like a fool in his mug shot.

[neverfstop]

He is in custody and has been arrested.

[neverfstop]

he has been released.....that was a really happy 45 seconds in my life.

I enjoyed it while it lasted. I also like the almost all (4 out of 5) female panel on MSNBC.

Also, it's an easy way to make sure folks not involved in any of this are able to clear out of the area without disrupting the normal business day.

Listening to Rachel Maddow announce that he was under arrest was a beautiful moment.

[neverfstop]

So many motorcycles. Should have a mugshot in ~30 minutes.

[nsl]

ETA: really annoyed that after I'd spent most of the day cyberstalking this photo my H saw it before me.

ETA again: apparently the mugshot floating around Twitter is fake. Still waiting!

[neverfstop]

Fanny Willis is calling bluffs & says she can take all of them to trial in 60 days if they are requesting a speedy trial.

ETA: that would be the best October surprise ever

I'm having a hysterectomy on 10/19 and NOTHING would bring me more joy than recovering by watching that/those trials. LFG.

How likely is it that Meadows' would get his request granted?

There will probably be an evidentiary hearing, but I have heard it's unlikely the motion will be granted, as he has to prove that the conduct was within the scope of his official federal job duties.

I thought there were very defined rules that federal employees could not work on campaigns/elections as part of their work day.   I just toured the capital 2 weeks ago with my Congress woman and I was chatting with her chief of staff, who told me they had to take a leave from their congressional job to work on her last campaign.

So if legal campaign work is not allowed, I’m not sure why Meadows thinks he can claim ILLEGAL campaign work is a part of his job.

[neverfstop]

And he's giving a presser on the tarmac at his plane...MSNBC isn't showing it live, but will cover it later.
Maddow is covering his bond restrictions & what he can say/do.

[heyyounotyouyou]

Merry Arrestmas everyone!!
