Trump org guilty on all counts.

[TheReckoning]

Notice how literally no one cares about this, lmao.

He might when he gets indicted.

Yes, let's wait and see if he gets indicted.  The Manhattan DA previously passed on indicting Trump for this, but something must have changed his mind.

[Joe Kakistocracy]

Notice how literally no one cares about this, lmao.

It is a bit hard to keep up with Trump's various crimes and all the different jurisdictions that are pursuing him for committing them.  Whenever a new Trump crime pops up, I suppose it's fair to say that the general response is, "Yeah? Throw it on the pile with all the others."

[Mr.Bakari-Sellers]

But, But Hillary used Anthony Weiners laptop to download classified Documents on a private email server and Biden kept classified documents at his residence for 7 yrs during COVID-19 lol they're all corrupted and Reagan sold weapons to Iran that in turn sold weapons to Hamas during Arafat intifada that includes 911 as well as suicide bombs of Israel

[Mr.Bakari-Sellers]

It's a note no one is saying Biden and D's are gonna lose they may keep the S and the RS might keep the H this scandal goes to our vulnerable seats NY we maynot win back those NY seats or CA seats due to Anthony Weiners laptop and HILLARY

D's can win OH, AZ and swap out WV and MT for MO, MO S was very close in 2016, and Rs van keep a 5 seat majority in H

That's what the name of the game has always been a D Prez with an R H can't pass a Socialist agenda, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and now Biden due to, Gerrymandering and with RH no DC Statehood

But, a Harris  and Gilchrist ticket would be better off than Biden with this Docugate

[Torie]

Here are excerpts of Trump's deposition in the matter last August. Very low energy.

Like any loving daddy he rented some digs to his daughter with a nice view of Central Park at apparently a below market rate so she didn't have to pay taxes on her compensation for services rendered to the Trump organization.

[Mr.Bakari-Sellers]

As I said on plenty of threads already this race Prez is far from over Harris and Desantis are the back up to Biden and Trump but Biden is running the polls between him and DeSantis are 1% apart we know it's a 303 but Biden is back to 45% where he is stuck at 40% Approvals among Indies hardly ever has a Prez been reelected under 50% but Truman has but he wasn't scandalous the Inspection General report on Docugate is gonna hurt Biden like Hillary

All you have to do is go to the Transcript of Comey we don't know what's on the classified Documents but it's related to China, Russia and Ukraine because why didn't we stop Russia from taking Crimea, both Obama and Trump didn't do anything with Crimea when Ukraine asked for our help

Biden has Obama Classified documents

I look at it on You tube all the time Comey said Hillary should of know ln that we aren't supposed to have a conversation on download classified documents on a private email server same goes for BIDEN

It's called Inspection General report violatoon of a Federal Criminal statute, white collar crime a murder is a blue collar state crime

Jefferson was against Judicial review for Judicial restraint, because it knocked down state statute Fugitive slave law was against Bankruptcy it was a FEDERAL statute

If he was Alive today he would still be against Bankruptcy he would of voted for 2005 Bankruptcy reform law no Student loans Forgiveness

Trump basically admits to the affair.

With respect to the “Stormy” nonsense, it is VERY OLD & happened a long time ago, long past the very publicly known & accepted deadline of the Statute of Limitations. I placed full Reliance on the JUDGEMENT & ADVICE OF COUNCIL, who I had every reason to believe had a license to practice law, was competent, & was able to appropriately provide solid legal services. He came from a good law firm, represented other clients over the years, & there was NO reason not to rely on him, and I did.

Also:

The “Stormy” Fake Witch Hunt has been stop and go, on again, off again, for years, to the point where the whole thing has become Prosecutorial Misconduct. Missed Statute Big. The Fake News has been pushing the D.A., and all D.A.’s and Prosecutors, at a level that they have NEVER been pushed before. Just study D.A. Bragg’s CNN interview from 2 months ago - Disgraceful! There’s NO GUILT, just Trump Derangement Syndrome. GET this man, even if he’s innocent. It’s all WEAPONIZED POLITICS. So Sad!

The Democrat D.A.’s, Attorney Generals, and Prosecutors are very DANGEROUS to the well being of our Country. Many are deranged and only interested in pleasing the Fake News Media and the Democrat Party. Fair and True Justice means NOTHING in our Country anymore. I am being hit by so many DEMOCRAT Prosecutors, LOCAL, STATE, & FEDERAL, all to keep me from “running,” and all because I am leading by sooo much. The great people of our Country aren’t going to take it. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Also of note, Trump finally changed his SM avatar for the first time since announcing his run in 2015.

This probably needs a new thread.

Prosecutors Signal Criminal Charges for Trump Are Likely
The former president was told that he could appear before a Manhattan grand jury next week if he wishes to testify, a strong indication that an indictment could soon follow.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office recently signaled to Donald J. Trump’s lawyers that he could face criminal charges for his role in the payment of hush money to a porn star, the strongest indication yet that prosecutors are nearing an indictment of the former president, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.

The prosecutors offered Mr. Trump the chance to testify next week before the grand jury that has been hearing evidence in the potential case, the people said. Such offers almost always indicate an indictment is close; it would be unusual for the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, to notify a potential defendant without ultimately seeking charges against him.

In New York, potential defendants have the right to answer questions in the grand jury before they are indicted, but they rarely testify, and Mr. Trump is likely to decline the offer. His lawyers could also meet privately with the prosecutors in hopes of fending off criminal charges.

Any case would mark the first indictment of a former American president, and could upend the 2024 presidential race. It would also elevate Mr. Bragg to the national stage, though not without risk.

[Mr.Bakari-Sellers]

Trump has eluded prosecuted all his life and he finally gonna get indicted and the R party is gonna fall they only have a 5 seat majority in H not a 15 seat majority that majority is Gone in 24

[Mr.Bakari-Sellers]

There won't be no RCongreas or R Prez in 24

Trump to meet with legal team on strategy for hush-money probe

Lawyers for Donald Trump are meeting with the former president in Florida this weekend to discuss how to handle the latest developments in a Manhattan probe focused on a hush money payment during the 2016 campaign.

Joe Tacopina, one of Trump's attorneys, told NBC News on Friday that Trump's lawyers have "no plans" to meet with the Manhattan District Attorney's office, which has convened a grand jury to look into a payment to Stormy Daniels, the actress who said she slept with Trump before he became president.

NBC News reported Thursday that Trump was invited to testify before the grand jury. Trump’s lawyers have not said whether he will accept the invitation, and the district attorney's office has declined to comment on the matter.

"We are not convinced they will bring a case, but if so we will deal with it," Tacopina said Friday.

Trump's lawyers say he has no plans to participate in the Manhattan grand jury probe.

So the indictment is probably coming very soon, maybe days.

[emailking]

The lawyers have already met with the DA to persuade him not to indict. Michael Cohen completes his testimony to the grand jury on Wednesday. After that, there's nothing left to do but request an indictment.

[Trump Is A Maoist]

We'll see how this plays out. I don't expect a former president to go to prison.

Is the latest here happening under state law? So technically only Hochul could grant clemency or a pardon?

That would really surprise me but yes. This would be state charges from the Manhattan DA regarding the hush money paid to Stormy Daniels. Fraudulently reported as a business expense (misdemeanor), which could be elevated to a felony if it was intended to conceal another crime. A future republican president could not pardon.

Going to be hilarious watching future Republican gubernatorial campaigns being forced to take a stance on "Will you pardon President Trump?"

This already happened a half-century ago, except the question was "Would have pardoned President Nixon", so this isn't new turf.

Trump campaign blasts Manhattan DA ‘witch hunt’ as possibility of indictment nears

Former President Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign blasted Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation into him as a “witch hunt” ahead of a possible indictment that might be issued against him.

Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement on Thursday that Trump is “completely innocent” and did “nothing wrong.” He said Democrats have attacked Trump since before he was first elected as president and are trying again because Trump is leading in the polls “by a large margin” against both Republicans and Democrats.

...

Cheung said the investigation will “backfire massively” for the Democratic Party and “end in disgrace” for the country.

The statement comes as Bragg appears to be close to potentially filling one or multiple charges against the former president in the investigation into a hush-money payment that was made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. This would be the first time that criminal charges are filed against a former president.

Trump's lawyers apparently believe he could be indicted as soon as tomorrow.
