President Donald Trump intends to turn himself in to Fulton County prosecutors on Thursday, where his bail has been set at $200,000. Trump will be fingerprinted and the public could see a Trump mugshot for the first time during the indictment rollercoaster that has both plagued and bolstered his presidential campaign.
No president, either sitting or former, has been arrested and tried for a crime. The indictment from Fulton County DA Fani Willis marks Trump's fourth indictment.
"Can you believe it?" Trump posted on Truth Social. "I'll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis, who is overseeing one of the greatest Murder and Violent Crime DISASTERS in American History.
"In my case," he continued, "the trip to Atlanta is not for 'Murder,' but for making a PERFECT PHONE CALL! She campaigned, and is continuing to campaign, and rase money on, this WITCH HUNT. This is in strict coordination with Crooked Joe Biden's DOJ. It is all about ELECTION INTERFERENCE!" He said.
Trump has been ordered to keep quiet on social media about the case. An order from Judge Scott McAfee reads:
"The Defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a codefendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice. This shall include, but is not limited to, the following:
"The Defendant shall make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against any codefendant;
"The Defendant shall make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against any witness including, but not limited to, the individuals designated in the Indictment as an unindicated co-conspirators Individual 1 through Individual 30;
"The Defendant shall make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against any victim;
"The Defendant shall make no direct or indirect threat of any nature against the community or to any property in the community;
"The above shall include, but are not limited to, posts on social media or posted made by another individual on social media;
"The Defendant shall not communicate in any way, directly or indirectly, about the fats of this case with any person know to him to be a witness in this case except through his or her counsel."
The first GOP primary debate, hosted by Fox and the RNC, will take place on Wednesday. Trump has already said that he will not be participating on the Milwaukee stage as his poll numbers make him far and away the favorite to win the 2024 primaries and secure the nomination.
If nominated, Trump is set to face off against President Joe Biden in a rematch of the 2020 election. This round, however, will be accompanied by court dates for the former president in Washington, DC and Florida, where he faces federal charges brought by DOJ special counsel Jack Smith, as well as in Georgia and New York, where he faces charges brought by local DAs intent on securing a Trump scalp.
The Georgia case finds Trump being tried alongside 18 other defendants, his associates and lawyers, who pursued recounts and asked questions in Georgia in the aftermath of the 2020 election. Biden won the state by 11,780 votes out of a population of 10 million.
Many watching the election claimed that shenanigans were afoot, and Trump's attorneys pursued every legal avenue available to ascertain accurate election results. Georgia's perennial gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams contended that she had not lost an election to Governor Brian Kemp, and kept saying that for years after the loss without any local blowback from the DAs office.
The thought of a strong black woman ‘getting’ the 45th President, is giving the white liberals who post on left-wing message boards a “Trumpgasm.”
“Their hate has no boundaries.”
Trump is such a threat to the Left that they are scared spitless of him, no matter how compliant he is.
Now THAT is power!! And little does the Left know that the more they try, the more fence-sitters are beginning to jump to the Trump side of the line.
The Left has created a monster and they have no idea how to control it. Wake up, America. Time’s a wastin’!
‘Face
;o]
That’s what I’m afraid of: that the American people will remain in their permanent slumber.
This C*** is looking for her place in the history books. And almost certainly get her a book and movie deal with the communist media.
She should tread lightly.
It’s just Marxist Democrats doing what they always do: fight by any means necessary for every inch of the political battlefield. GOP AWOL as per usual.
It’s also about using Trump to get Biden off the 24/7 news cycle and ensuring that he is on the ballot. The election interference is blatant and criminal.
President Trump just needs the support of his reality show watching base and the political fringes to wrap up the primaries. The general election is another matter entirely. That is not a winning coalition in 2024.
The same SCOTUS that refused to hear ANY of the 2020 cases? That Supreme Court? I’m not holding my breath that they are going to save him.
I’m looking forward to the mug shot merchandise.
Big Fanni Willis is on a roll. She will be surprised in a year or two.
The whole thing is insane. I hope it blows up in the Democrats’ faces like the world’s biggest exploding cigar.
In any case, I look forward to crawling over broken glass to vote for Trump.
The thing about Clown World is it is entertaining. Who needs TV shows when politics has this kind of drama?
Some are waking up, and they will arouse others. At this point, it’s still not too late. If Trump had chosen to run even one election later, it would have been far too late.
Let’s see what the last four (administration) years will produce. It may be that Brandon has awakened a sleeping giant. As was said, once upon a time.
I have to agree with you that Trump is really pushing the envelope on this Atlanta arraignment location. I’m sure he knows what he’s doing but it makes me nervous. One thing for sure its really pizzing people off.
Exactly!!
Wasn’t the reason both Hillary and Biden weren’t charged/arrested for various crimes was because of election interference?
In WWII... We shot them. In the face. A lot...
“This is not America.”
This is the Marxist version of America via that “fundamental transformation” promise Obama made. And they’re just getting warmed up.
Yes, like the referees in the Saints football playoff game claimed they did not call a late 4thQ, obvious to everybody, ‘pass interference’ because they didn’t want to affect the outcome of the game...............By not doing so they in effect changed the outcome of the game.......
“The Bill Mahrs and Rob Reiners of the world are touching themselves improperly over any possibility of Trump doing a “perp walk” on camera for the entire world to see.”
Deja vu. Remember how the radical left wet-dreamed out loud about frog-marching GWB and Cheney to Gitmo? Ironic, since they’re the ones that STILL should be frog-marched to Gitmo. Evil thrives when good men do nothing. I’m starting to wonder if we still have any “good men” in America. Maybe only a scant few. Apparently not enough.
Said no one ever.
Trump himself posted that he's "not doing the debates" because he's winning the GOP nomination contest by huge margins.
