"Former President Trump suggested he will be arrested on Tuesday as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg appears to be close to deciding whether to charge him in the probe into a hush-money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.
Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Saturday that "illegal leaks" indicate that "the far & away leading Republican candidate & former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week."
"Protest, take our nation back!" Trump continued, calling on supporters to protest his potential arrest.
The post comes as multiple recent signs appear to point to the grand jury Bragg organized being close to possibly filing charges against Trump."
The last time Trump used words like that, we had a traitorous mob invade our capitol...
A friend of mine wondered what are the chances they'll charge him as an adult. :)
Trump paid hush money to a hooker/porn star, what crime did he commit?
She lost in civil court last year and was ordered to pay Trump's legal fees.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/stormy-daniels-must-pay-300k-donald-trump-losing-defamation-case-appea-rcna21002
Even the Sunday morning talk shows were questioning what crimes Trump committed.
No matter how you feel about Trump, this is not a good thing. To abuse the legal system for political purposes will have very negative consequences.
I totally agree. The word protest means let's go to war. Many innocent lives are affected by this. Make sure your protect yourself and the ones you love.
if he used campaign money to pay her off, that is not allowed.
but this isn't what he will be nail for.
The stuff in Georgia will.

The civil suit last year involved a defamation claim. That has absolutely nothing to do with the potential criminal indictment in New York.
At least one crime reportedly being considered by the Manhattan DA is falsifying business records. That apparently happened when Trump signed checks to Cohen to reimburse him for payments to Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet. Trump stated the payments were for legal expenses when he knew damn well they were hush money payments.

That I agree with, proving he used campaign money to pay her off will be difficult.
The interfering in the GA election has more proof and is a Federal crime.

Multiple crimes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2023/03/09/trump-expected-to-be-criminally-charged-in-new-york-report-says/?sh=5304bcea5d8b
"Prosecutors appear likely to argue the Trump Organization illegally reimbursed Cohen the $130,000 through identifying the payment as legal expenses—as falsifying business records is a misdemeanor offense in New York.
They may also argue the payment was a felony violation of campaign finance law since the cash to allegedly kill the story may have functioned as an illegal donation to help the Trump campaign, though that is the subject of legal debate."
Because he was running for President at the time, that could bump this up to violating Federal law.
It isn't just paying off an escort. It's using campaign funds to do so and lying about what the funds were used for. Both things are clear violations of the law.
they are waiting to put him IN cuff until he's in a debate with Pence

In other news, I read that the maga-minions donated millions to Trump since he "announced" his pending arrest. The guy is one helluva con-man.
Pence? I hardly doubt he runs for POTUS. He's too smart. He knows he'll never get the money donations it takes to run an effective campaign. He has no personality. He's about as exciting as white bread.
The one person that has to be pissed is Ron DeSantis.
As soon as he thinks he is gaining momentum, Trump opens his mouth a d sucks all the oxygen out of the room.
This could also be a risk for the Dems. If they focus all their attention on Trump Ron may go unscathed threw the campaign process.

No arrest no protest. How many got flimflammed by the Trump circus. A lot of dummies donated money based on Trump's bogus claim about being arrested.

Ron DeSantis will be scathed and scorched by Trump. Trump is already making innuendos that DeSantis might be gay.
He wasn't....more fake news.
You are in Love with Trump.
Trump is so fat up many asses they can not get over him.
This Stormy Daniels shit has been going off since 2003 and nothing has bec ome of it.
In fact Stormy has filed many suits against TRump and lost them all and had a verdict that she had to pay Trump.
This is a POLITICAL stunt, And politically motivated to try to smeer Trump for upcoming elections. No legaL legitamacy at all.
Grand Jury did not convene today due to having nothing to prosecute TRUMP. They are scrambling.
There are more important things that need tending to.
Trump will be President 2024. Gat Ready BITCHES...
Many of you prefer ChinaBiden and all his corruption I understand instead of looking at Trumps accomplishments last term. CRAZY SHIT. ChinaBiden has made our Country a laughing stock..

That's weird considering that Trump himself has encouraged the "Patriots" to protest his coming indictment, which he said would happen by today.
All we know is that the grand jury had today off. But prosecutors would not have advanced the process to the point of inviting Trump to testify if there was nothing to it.

You do realize he has been in the entertainment business? More controversy more popularity. Polls show he has 56% majority in his party.
Along with many agencies refused to prosecute due to nothing being there. Then this person pushes forward and more than likely finding he has nothing to prosecute. Kind of weird he announced these possible charges when announced Trump was running for President.. All politically motivated.
latest news on Trumps stealing classifed documents. crime-fraud exception, look it up. Trump's lawyer doesn't have lawyer client privileges.
It's all political and trump is the one spinning it up.
This is boring. It's time for politicians to spin up some new drama.

It's like Trump said: he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight and his most loyal supporters would stay with him. That's the kind of grip he has on what is basically a cult.
You can post all the hours long click-bate videos you find in the Right Wing media echo chamber you want, but they do not make your point.
The Feds dropped pursuit of the Stormy Daniels case against Trump, because Attorney General Bill Barr made it go away. The statute of limitations is running out for the State...May 2023 I think.
Kevin McCarthy says, "We live in America and it should be equal justice." Michael Cohen sentenced to three years in jail for carrying out the directions of Trump. So, to have "equal Justice" should not Trump who gave the directions go to jail?
Trump is scared with all the pending indictments. He doesn't want to be held accountable for all his wrong doing. So, he goes into clown mode and attacks the prosecutors. Typical Trump playbook.

Grand Jury has no case thus cancelling the last 2 days to try and figure things out.
Many prominent people have stated they have no case.
Wrong doings as you state have not been proven thus there have been no prosecutions. Whaaaaat 8 years now on these witch hunts wasting tax payers dollars.
In the mean time you have a communist in office that has been paid by China in which everyone seems ok with. Sorry I will take Trump any day over a COMI and incompetent President.
the grand jury just got a mt of new stuff to look at. one being trumps lawyer telling stormy daniels that what trump did is a crime. she was going to hire him at one point.
but this case isn't what gets him, stay tuned. this is just getting started.
What gets me is NYC is a lawless mess, people getting murdered on the street and the DA is going after Trump on a weak misdemeanor case. They need to get the violent criminals off the streets first.
So weak that Cohen got 3 years.
He had to take out home equity loan to pay off Stormy. Then Trumped paid him back and claimed a tax deduction.
If you did that you eould be locked up
It's so weak they can't even get the grand jury to decide to prosecute.
If they don't prosecute then the DA will have egg on his face.
Face it...this case is purely political. If he's convicted what will be the sentencing?

A crime is a crime. Or are you saying certain people shouldn't be prosecuted because they are above the law?
Some crimes are more serious than others, get the murderers off the streets then they can waste tax-payers money and time on Trump.
The DA is receiving death threats:

Politics undoubtedly plays a role; the DA is, after all, an elected official.
More importantly, the DA is duty-bound to prosecute all crimes that are brought to him, not just the most serious ones.
Besides, Trump has gotten away with tons of obvious criminal behavior, both in and out of office. And, speaking of politics, if the Republican senators hadn't let him off the hook in the first impeachment we'd have avoided January 6th.
Well...it's Friday. I'm losing interest.

"Bombshell" document has been around since 2018. Much has transpired in this case since then.
It is pathetic how Trump lovers keep protesting this case.
To Republicans and Democrats, sit back eat popcorn and wait to see if anything comes from it. IF Trump is indicted and arraigned, then perhaps we will have something to talk about. Of course I would be more interested in the jury verdict, assuming there is a trial.
It's Tuesday and the grand jury is still deliberating, yesterday they heard testimony from the ex-CEO of The National Enquirer.
You can't make this shit up even though the The National Enquirer did. lol

Many going crazy waiting for criminal charges. The NY court did what Trump does, they lied about court dates? Maybe, to ward of Trump's War? Trump is never transparent banking his money from his people. NY court and the grand jury got him over Stormy Danial's. Laughing, a porn star took out Trump. HA HA HA Trump and his people have all been wronged by America. Like none of us have been wronged. If those people had a trillion dollars they would still cry and complain.
The firm that owns the National Enquirer has agreed to pay $187,500 to the Federal Election Commission to settle complaints that it unlawfully aided Donald Trump's presidential campaign in 2016 by suppressing the story of an actress who said she had a sexual relationship with Trump.
The FEC concluded that American Media Inc., now known as A360 Media LLC, made an illegal corporate contribution to Trump's campaign by paying Karen McDougal $150,000 to give up the rights to her story about Trump.

Nah. The U.S. Constitution (Article IV, Section 2) essentially requires FLA to hand Trump over to NY authorities. Trump's lawyers know this, and that's why they've already arranged for his surrender in NY.

Ron DeSantis on Thursday blasted the indictment of Donald Trump and vowed that the state "will not assist in the extradition" Link (https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/30/desantis-trump-indictment-00089865)
As Bats pointed out DeSantis has a constitutional obligation. So a potential candidate for President, if elected, he will take an oath to uphold the Constitution. However he is saying fuck The Constitution.
It should be an entertaining trial, we shall see if they can get anything to stick to the "Teflon Don".

I Kind of wish Trump would not go. Then we'd get to see him in handcuffs being escorted there.
The Secret Service made an agreement with authorities that Trump won't be handcuffed at any time.
This brings up a thought of mine: if Trump goes to prison then the Secret Service still has to give him 24/7 protection
They would have to be near him at all times and escort him everywhere.
This turn my self in OR run will be a good movie by coward orange face ... with popcorn and bubbles.
