Indictment

[GermanSuplex]

Oh good.

Donald Trump indicted by Manhattan grand jury on more than 30 counts related to business fraud — CNN Politics

The charges are not publicly known at this time. Trump will likely be arraigned early next week, his defense attorney Joe Tacopina said.

apple.news

*A grand jury has voted to indict Trump. We don’t know if the case hinges solely on payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, or if other payments to other mistresses like Karen McDougal were scrutinized, or if any other crimes were committed in the process.

Been a long slog, but it it’s long past time for this lifelong grifter to face a jury of his peers. Maybe he’ll be acquitted, but he’s certainly more than warranted charges.

Point blank, you or I would have been charged, arrested and convicted many times faster had we done the exact same thing. The only injustice so far is how slow the gears have turned on the justice machine to get to this day. Better late than never!

Finally!

Grand Jury Votes to Indict Donald Trump — The Wall Street Journal

Exact charges against former president aren’t known; case centers on hush-money payments to porn star

apple.news

We don’t yet know the specific charge(s), but the Grand Jury in Manhattan has voted to indict.

 

[Roller]

I sure hope the jurors remain unidentified for their sake.

 

[fooferdoggie]

Trump once again is the first and greatest.

 

[Alli]

I hope this is just the first in a long series of indictments against TFG.

 

[GermanSuplex]

I sure hope the jurors remain unidentified for their sake.

Juror 1 voted for Hillary.
Juror 2 voted for Biden.
Juror 3 is gay.
Juror 4 is black. And gay.
Juror 5 is a teacher who taught “CRT”, better known to non-racists as “Actual American history”.
Juror 6 once played college football with a democrat state representative.

Etc.

Long story short, they will vilify and threaten everyone, while painting them as biased. And by biased, it means they didn’t go along with whatever Trump wanted.

I hope for everyone’s safety, but you know Trump is hoping for and will probably push for the opposite.

 

[Citysnaps]

Yes!!!

Cats and dogs dancing together in the streets tonight!

 

[fooferdoggie]

Now that the fear has been broken let the floodgates open. since trump goes through lawyers so much no way will he have the best help.

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America​

March 30, 2023

“This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history. From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the Radical Left Democrats - the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this Country - have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt to destroy the Make America Great Again movement. You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this.

“The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable - indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference.

“Never before in our Nation’s history has this been done. The Democrats have cheated countless times over the decades, including spying on my campaign, but weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who just so happens to be a President of the United States and by far the leading Republican candidate for President, has never happened before. Ever.

“Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who was hand-picked and funded by George Soros, is a disgrace. Rather than stopping the unprecedented crime wave taking over New York City, he’s doing Joe Biden’s dirty work, ignoring the murders and burglaries and assaults he should be focused on. This is how Bragg spends his time!

“I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden. The American people realize exactly what the Radical Left Democrats are doing here. Everyone can see it. So our Movement, and our Party - united and strong - will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

This is my favorite statement by his lawyer so far. “a victim of a corrupt and distorted version of the American justice system and history.”

Let me correct that, or Truth it I guess. “For his entire life he has benefited from a corrupt and distorted version of the American justice system and history.”

 

[Eric]

He wants all of his Republican minions to defend him on Fox News, look for an outraged blast at the DA and Grand Jury from the party of "law and order".

He tells his droolers while admitting he didI it, that it was not a crime…Tell that to Cohen his lawyer who went to jail at the hands of Trump’s Justice Dept for the same crime.

 

[GermanSuplex]

Probably the first of many upcoming indictments.

He’s setting all kinds of firsts - first indicted former president. First president to be indicted on state charges. First president to be indicted in New York. First president to be arraigned. First to be fingerprinted. Etc.

If he gets indicted in another state or by the feds, his list will be long. That’s before you add in all the other unflattering firsts in his political career.

A sober response from a Republican…

 

[Citysnaps]

He’s setting all kinds of firsts - first indicted former president. First president to be indicted on state charges. First president to be indicted in New York. First president to be arraigned. First to be fingerprinted. Etc.

If things go right (a conviction and prison), he may become the first former President to be searched for hidden contraband.

 

[fooferdoggie]

though we have seen the evidence and it went through the courts already.

Thanks Donald for this summary of your crimes, but you left out the attempt to block the peaceful transition of power, the Trump University fraud, the Trump Foundation fraud, cheating on taxes and insurance and probably others that escape me at this time.

Any "hard-working men and women" who support this grifter are ignorant or in denial of his history - it's full of examples where he flat out refused to pay people for their work, challenging them to "sue me." He couldn't care less about them.

 

[Roller]

DeSantis claims he won’t comply with any extradition requests from NY. Trump’s lawyers say their client will present as requested, so it’s probably an empty political stunt. Still dangerous, though. And he invoked the Soros anti-Semitic trope while doing it. What a piece of work.

Yes, anyone who has watched his personal lawyer (Cohen), his campaign manager (Manafort), his political advisor (Stone), his White House advisor (Bannon), his chief financial officer (Weisselberg) all go to prison, and watch Giuliani, Powell and others face being professionally and possible legally reprimanded - but think he’s innocent in all of it - well, they’re beyond help.

Anytime I see the name “George Soros” in a Republican statement, I automatically assume it’s being used in absence of any real substance or argument.
