A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald J. Trump on Thursday for his role in paying hush money to a porn star, according to four people with knowledge of the matter, a historic development that will shake up the 2024 presidential race and forever mark him as the nation’s first former president to face criminal charges.

“Trump slept with the whore.”
Link please.
Hi Karl,
Should Ron sell pizza sauce or guacamole bowls to help his campaign?
Say hi to Jeb! and George for me.
Yours truly,

He’s definitely a Soros stooge. That is widely known.
But, I’m of the thinking that he knows the case is a complete dog, but he’s being forced to ram it through, regardless of anything. It’s not Soros’ ass on the line.
Bragg might be finding out, real quick, that he’s nothing more than cannon fodder and will soon meet his fate. Especially if it comes out that the case is as bad as so many are saying it is.
The name, Nifong, comes to mind.
DJT does need to focus on basic issues and cut the crap with personal insults, even when the recipients deserve them. But seriously, who's gonna vote for Gov. Chrispie Creme?
Is there still gambling going on at Rick’s?
This is a UniParty move. Rupert Murdoch has been all over this with leaks to and from the Wall Street Journal. Especially this morning’s WSJ story about McDougal being added. Murdoch and The Steal part 2.
from everything I know, the statute of limitations expired long ago on this. I assume the charges are to do with possible obstruction of justice or lying under oath which might have occurred later within the alotted time frame. Or this is related to federal charges, that the federal government has already decided not to pursue.
But the left got their moment, but it will be all downhill from here.
A grand jury indictment is not as bad as people seem to think. It is SUPPOSED to mean only that there was PROBALE CAUSE of a crime for which they can arrest.
But WHAT IS THE CRIME???
The grand jury (GJ) process is flawed IMO because it is a one-sided dog and pony show put on by the prosecution with no defense attorney and no rules of evidence.
I think the GJ system has been perverted over the years. I don’t think you used to be able to indict a ham sandwich like you can now.
In all honesty I imagined this situation would never occur.
What happened is unimaginable.
They are trying to eliminate a presidential candidate from the election process... Wow.
This is what happens in Kremlin’s Russia. They eliminate any opposition by indicting and imprisoning their opponents!
Republicans need to realize that Biden is so bad for the USA that any of the likely Republican candidates would be a big improvement. That includes Trump, DeSantis, Haley, Christie, Pompeo, and Pence. We need to choose the nominee who will be most likely to win in 2024, because without a win in 2024 our country will likely be lost. Lincoln was nominated in 1860 not because he was considered a better man than Seward, but because he was considered more likely to win the election. I currently like DeSantis the best, but whoever we are confident can beat the Rats, let’s nominate them.
Certainly a Bush/McCain/Romney type won’t.
MARCH 30, 2023
MAR-A-LAGO, FL
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
“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!”
I still do not understand why this is a crime.
It’s not unless he used campaign funds. The FEC and DOJ already cleared him of it because there was no case.
To further illustrate how irregular this is - the Manhattan DA is trying to use a federal crime (declined by the feds) to charge a state crime despite the fact that the statute of limitations has expired and the feds (and his predecessor) all declined to move forward with it.
That is my understanding.
Yep the low info voter and moderate suburbanites (especially women) have been conditioned too much to ever vote for Trump again. This will just be another factor to brainwash them.
Desantis is the best bet now.
Trust me, Jessica was in ecstasy.
So…why was she paid? And why “protect” Melania if nothing happened.
Well, I’ll never live long enough to see it but speculation
isn’t out of the picture. Like it or not if the cards fall just
right. Now you have a good’n.
Yup, The Democrats know exactly what they're doing.
