They changed the rules in NYC to bring down an indictment on him, and the state's witness is Michael Cohen. Who got convicted of perjury, and Trump's defense team wasn't in the room when the judge agreed to give Bragg the okay, the doors open to appeals. Georgia is building a claim against Trump for free speech for calling up and asking where his votes were. These corrupt district attorneys belong in jail and prison. The only case they have is Trump derangement syndrome. Stormy Daniels admitted that she lied about having an affair with Trump. Alvin Bragg doesn't seem intelligent for being lite on an actual crime in NYC but wanting to prosecute Trump for something he didn't do is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
The witness, David Pecker, the former publisher of The National Enquirer, also testified in January. Since the grand jury was impaneled early this year by the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, it has heard from at least nine witnesses — including Mr. Pecker, who has now appeared twice — and is expected to vote on an indictment soon.
He’s the guy Trump had catch-and-kill $$$ negative stories about Trump.
AMI made a payment in the amount of $150,000, in cooperation, consultation, and concert with, and at the request and suggestion of one or more members or agents of a candidate's 2016 presidential campaign, to ensure that a woman did not publicize damaging allegations about that candidate before the 2016 presidential election and thereby influence that election.
It's legal to deceive in public in many ways, but it's not legal to lie in court and to law enforcement. Since being dragged into the legal realm Daniels has had to come clean about the hush money to keep it from getting out before the election of 2016 and the incident while Melania Trump was pregnant.
Prosecutors were also weighing whether to charge Trump with falsifying business records in the first degree for falsifying a record with the intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal another crime, which in this case could be a violation of campaign finance laws. That is a Class E felony and carries a sentence of a minimum of one year and as much as four years. To prove the case, prosecutors would need to show Trump intended to commit a crime.
I presume that is per felonious count but I'm not a lawyer or know the intricacies of NY criminal law.
May it be the first of many indictments and convictions to come.
Some other possible criminal indictments that could happen in the future:
Stolen classified documents case/lying (federal)
January 6th conspiracy attack/coup/fake electors (federal)
NY Trump organization/business dealings (state)
GA Election fraud & interference/conspiracy (state)
It's Un-American what is happening to President Trump. The radical left is destroying our country from the inside. The Democratic party is turning America into a banana republic. It's like a plot from a Marvel film. The democrats in the office are hydra agents. It's absurd how liberals have been gunning for Trump from the day he came down the Golden escalator. It's one witch hunt after another. They can't accept that Trump is leading Biden 48-44. President Trump comes back much more powerful every time. He's like a Saiyan warrior. With all the corruption in the Biden, Clinton, and Kennedy families, they harassed and indicted the Republican Trump because Democrats played with crooked dice and couldn't win anything fair Trump never weaponized our justice system to lock up his political enemies. He never investigated Bill and Hillary. Why is it that so many who cross the Clintons end up dead forty-seven of their friends died questioningly?

Upholding the rule of law and holding powerful people to account should be something you should celebrate. Trump's a fascist, a conman and a crook and it was about time he got a taste of the consequences that await lawbreakers.
The Dems won the 2020 election and then Trump tried a coup on January 6th like a tinpot dictator wannabe. He should have gone to jail for that.
Hugo Lowell, The Guardian: New: Trump has told advisers and associates that he’s prepared to escalate attacks against the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg now that he’s been formally charged — and remarked in a private moment that it’s time to politically '**** em up'."
NY Magazine - Trump Is Going On Trial, but You Won’t Be Able to Watch Donald Trump is about to be prosecuted, but unless you’re one of the few people who might be allowed inside the courtroom in Manhattan, you won’t be able to watch. That’s because New York is the only state in the country that still bans cameras in legal trials.
If ever there was a person that needed a judge's gag order to not talk about their case - including to protect him from himself as everything he says can be used against him - it’s this one. Trump also has a history of stochastic terrorism in nudging his followers to commit violence on his behalf.
Maggie Haberman, NY Times: “Trump to give a press conference at Mar-a-Lago Tuesday after indictment, per release”
The Washington Post: "Breaking news: Justice Department said to be amassing more evidence of possible obstruction by Trump in Mar-a-Lago classified documents probe" https://www.washingtonpost.com/national ... lassified/ Ex-staffer’s emails, texts are guiding investigators, who increasingly suspect Trump went through boxes after subpoena
Investigators now suspect, based on witness statements, security camera footage, and other documentary evidence, that boxes including classified material were moved from a Mar-a-Lago storage area after the subpoena was served, and that Trump personally examined at least some of those boxes, these people said. While Trump’s team returned some documents with classified markings in response to the subpoena, a later FBI search found more than 100 additional classified items that had not been turned over.
Investigators have also asked witnesses if Trump showed a particular interest in material relating to Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, people familiar with those interviews said. Milley was appointed by Trump but drew scorn and criticism from Trump and his supporters after a series of revelations in books about Milley’s efforts to rein in Trump toward the end of his term. In 2021, Trump repeatedly complained publicly about Milley, calling him an 'idiot.'
General Milley didn't coup for Trump and he's still angry about it.

Trump lost Manhattan by eighty percent of the vote. The judge hates him. The jurors presumably have low opinions of MAGA voters. Imagine living in America and believing that putting our country first is wrong. Everyone looked at this case and dropped it. Bragg downgraded fifty-two percent of actual crimes to misdemeanors. Alvin ran on locking up Trump before he had seen any alleged evidence of crimes Trump got investigated for decades. He was never found guilty of crimes. Political prosecution is not supposed to transpire in America democrats are the lawless ones. Most of the crimes occur in democratic-controlled areas. You liberals have got to get a new topic. All you do is bring up January 6th. It is not that you care. You all do this to attempt to shut down the debate that the world is on fire with senile Biden in office who stole the 2020 election. Joe Biden bragged about having “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization” in history.
Reuters - Trump arrives in New York for surrender, opposes TV court coverage Former U.S. President Donald Trump flew into New York City on his private plane on Monday to face charges stemming from a probe into hush money paid to a porn star, while his lawyers argued against letting cameras in the courtroom.

Oh please, stop lying about the 2020 election. Trump went to court 60+ times and lost because he had no evidence of voter fraud. Some of the judges who ruled against him had even been appointed by him LOL.
It's a Manhattan grand jury that voted to indict your orange buffoon. Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, went to jail for the Stormy Daniels hush money payments by the way.
The DOJ is also looking at election subversion by Trump and incitement of January 6th. There is also a criminal investigation of Trump’s retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago (federal prosecutors are looking at whether he willfully retained national security information and obstructed justice).
He is also under investigation in Georgia for alleged attempted election interference.
He doesn't sound like someone who puts his country first. He seems more like a stupid con man whose past actions seem to be catching up to him.
