Hello and welcome to the Daily Beans for Tuesday, July 19, 2022. Today, potential jurors have been selected for the Steve Bannon trial. Donald tells his associates he needs to be president again so he can save himself from criminal indictments.

Republican representative Jody Heiss gets a subpoena from the Fault in County District Attorney. Word of the Trump Media Company deal leaked months before the deal was announced.

And a Republican Senate candidate has been arrested for making false child trafficking claims. I'm Allison Gil and I'm Dana Goldberg.

That's a much more manageable introduction than we had yesterday.

This was something even I could follow mildly regular news day. My goodness. I know we're going to get into it. You're going to talk about it. But whenever someone makes false child trafficking reports, I have to wonder what they're hiding every single time child trafficking.

Yeah, and it's always always a Republican. So today it took all day, but they picked 22 prospective jurors for the Steve Bannon trial. There was one that the DOJ objected to, but the judge let go ahead anyway. And I'm concerned about her.

But you know, we'll see because they they they'll peel them back to 14 12 jurors and two alternates and we should be kicked out in the in the whittling down tomorrow.

He showed up wearing three shirts and a jacket with no tie. Oh goodness. It's like Chandler. When Joe he comes in and goes, who am I? I'm Chandler. Could I be wearing any more clothes?

Could I love that so much. So if you were playing the game, a contest camisa with me, which means how many shirts? The answer was three. So if you had three, you are correct. That is according to Ryan Riley and Kyle Cheney.

Kyle Cheney from Politico and Ryan Riley from NBC, they both noted how many numbers of shirts he was wearing. I was surprised he didn't come up with a nail nose or some gout or show up in a wheelchair with a neck brace or something. So you think whoever dressed him was like, no, we can still smell you second shirt. No, we can still smell you.

Third shirt. Okay, that's better. Maybe that's what the guy is going to let that go. Can we still smell Steve Bannon instead of caught us gummies.

Okay, we play that game because we used to do quantus pantalones with a friend of ours who was really skinny. So we would wear multiple pairs of pants to make him look. Oh, that's funny. Give him some a book. That was the 90s. That's how long ago. That's how long I've been playing this game.

Good times in the 90s. Okay, so let's get to the dude. Everyone's going shit. They're in rare form. Yes, we are. What are we going to do now? We're going to hit the fucking hot notes. Hot notes.

First up from a rolling stone. Who is on it lately, by the way, quote, when Donald formally declares his 2024 candidacy, he won't just be running for another term in the White House. He'll be running away from legal troubles, possible criminal charges and even the specter, the specter of prison time.

In recent months, Trump has made clear to associates that the legal protections of occupying the White House are front of mind for him. That's according to four people with knowledge of the situation who spoke to rolling stone. I can't help but wonder if it's the same four people who told the rolling stone that they're preparing to make meadows the fall guy because they think he's going to be charged.

Trump has quote spoken about how when you are the president of the United States, it is tough for politically motivated prosecutors to get to you. That was one of the sources who discussed the issue with Trump this summer. He says when not if he is president again, a new Republican administration will put a stop to the Justice Department investigation that he views as the Biden administration working to hit him with criminal charges.

Yeah, that's what they do. It's their job or even put him in his people in prison. What?

Now presidential immunity and picking his own attorney general aren't Trump's only reasons for running again. And as he works on another run, a Trump is in a tug of war with leaders and operatives of his own party about when to announce. Right.

Because Trump is motivated to announce early like this before election day this year of 2022, which is what I hope he does. But he's hoping to clear the field of primary rivals.
