YES

ALL

Resolves Yes if Merrick Garland charges Donald Trump with a crime in his role as Attorney General (or in any other office Garland might hold) before election day 2024. Note that if Garland is removed and the subsequent AG charges Trump, this does not count. Garland did not rule out such a prosecution in a [recent interview](https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/26/politics/merrick-garland-trump-nbc-interview/index.html).

News article says that indictments have come but I will wait to resolve until there's an official announcement he's being charged.

@BoltonBailey This can now be resolved YES https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/special-counsel-jack-smith-delivers-statement

Special Counsel Jack Smith Delivers Statement

Good afternoon. Today, an indictment was unsealed charging Donald J. Trump with felony violations of our national security laws as well as participating in a conspiracy to obstruct justice.

Garland doesn’t make these decisions. They have multiple grand juries setup for this who will make this determination.

predicted YES

@BTE Well, then, I guess you can consider this question to be "Will a federal grand jury charge Trump while Garland remains as AG?"

@BoltonBailey Fair enough. Sorry for nitpicking.

predicted YES

@BTE The point that there’s an implication in the phrasing is well taken. I personally don’t know much about how these legal proceedings work, I’m just trying to distinguish a possibility I read in the news about federal level prosecution as opposed to state level.
