Donald sped this timeline up, his attack on former Lt. Governor Duncan saying he shouldn't testify is the most likely reason they kept the courthouse open late and ran the rest of the witnesses today. It was also pretty much a forgone conclusion this was coming when that paperwork accidentally came out tonight, I'm interested in how these 10 charges differ from the charges that were leaked earlier today.

EDIT: From what the reporters asked the DA when she announced the charges, what was on the leaked document is the same as the indictment handed down. That means somebody at the clerks office must have jumped the gun.

I think you're right. He posted that at like 9 local this morning before all the fun started, so must have played a major role in moving it up a day.
