The common belief is that Trump will be facing multiple legal battles in multiple jurisdictions the moment he leaves office. Defamation, tax fraud, insurance fraud, perjury, obstruction of justice are just a few.

So how soon can we expect the first subpoena being issued, if ever?
 
I find it entirely possible that the SDNY already has some subpoenas under seal, but is waiting to see the scope of the Trump Self-Pardon before delivering them.

Forgive my pedantry but the phrase "under seal" is overused. In the case of a subpoena, there would be no need to file it at all until a lawyer wants it to be served. It therefore wouldn't be "under seal" but would rather be "in a desk drawer."

I suppose it could be said to be Under Seal if the DA owned one of these... ;)
 
Under seat. As soon as Trump is no longer protected by the office of the Presidency a whole lot of junior clerks are going to look down and wouldn't ya know it, that's where all that gosh darned evidence of his misdeeds had gone to!

Current voting fraud cases go to court and appeals reach the Supreme Court. SC says "obvious fraud" just like our Hero President has been saying all along and he is reelected.
 
I'm figuring his first subpoena will not be for a criminal case against him, but for a criminal case against one of his subordinates -- Barr would be nice --, or against his family, or a civil case against him.
I voted three months, but since pretty much anyone can file a civil suit, it may be earlier.
 
When he can’t hide behind is office anymore I’d assume they’ll be able to look a lot deeper into his contacts and records. And people who he forbid to testify, and some of those who refused to testify in the past have no reason not to. It’s going to blow a lot wide open, for better or worse.

For that reason I think it will be a while because they will want to build a much stronger case.

I think anything related to the Mueller investigation and anything related to official duties as the POTUS will be off limits. But financial crimes, and possibly other crimes, he committed while using his office to conceal and obstruct any oversight will be fair game.

He's facing a Civil defamation suit that Barr was insisting that the DOJ had the authority to defend Trump against. Trump may even be required to submit to a DNA swab as that involved a sexual assault
 
I'd like to believe that the process servers will be queuing up on Pennsylvania Ave waiting for the Secret Service to drag him out by his heels at 12:00pm on the 20th of 2021.

Reports are that Trump is planning a rally opposite the inaugural.
 
I voted 3 months -- as have most others, I see -- but more as a somewhat realistic best case scenario I'd hope to see than actual expectation.

It's stupid, my reaction, since the poll isn't in any way remotely representative of the nation as a whole, but seeing others share my view/optimism gladdens my heart. This one, this time, must not be allowed to get away, that would be a real pity.
 
End of January give or take.

I (and this is all absolute gut feeling, so grain of salt) think that the sort of "Literal first second he's a citizen again" stuff that others have suggested strikes me as overly theatric.

And I do wonder if there is any evidence that could not have been collected while Trump was President that certain people might want before pulling the metaphorical trigger.

I also wonder if the "Get everything ready for one giant knockout legal punch" or "The death of a thousand cuts" will be the more popular strategy.

I could be 100% wrong, in either direction, though.
 
I just want to see more videos of Trump being deposed, to see his bestest ever memory and intellect in action. Woman . . . Man . . . I don't remember . . . I don't recall . . . Not to my recollection.
