Okay, Mr. Commander, can you explain to me like I’m five what exactly this indictment would be? The internet is filled up with BS at this point, so I can’t seem to find any actual information. Pretty telling that most articles on this topic don’t even specify what Trump did wrong at all (he’s Trump, it’s like asking what we’re Hitler’s crimes!). The few that do say “hush money” but that isn’t illegal by itself (and normally only is if the money is being used to cover up something that IS illegal)… is it a misappropriation of campaign funds issue? Near as I can figure, the ONLY thing is that Trump’s former lawyer vaguely in an interview that it was illegal (“money wasn’t declared”… what?). But still, that doesn’t explain what exactly the indictment is going to be FOR. Surely, it has to be for something??

I don’t usually listen to Fox, but Ted Cruz gave a pretty good explanation. Here’s the link

Yes, and interesting that it’s only tangentially related to the campaign. Looking at the John Edwards case, it seems it was the opposite situation though, it was alleged that Edwards used money donated for his campaign for his hush money.

So, it appears that SC is completely right in his explanation to me below… essentially the DA is saying this is a bogus accounting for the Trump Organization, because it should have been made on behalf of the campaign, in which case that would have been illegal too. (But he didn’t, so it wasn’t illegal, so I’m having trouble understanding how this can fly at all… if prosecution is dependent on another crime being committed, the other crime has to have actually happened, not hypothetically happened, no? I mean, this seems like precisely why Trump would have paid his lawyer in this fashion… for in the event the lawyer was a crap bag and rolled, he wouldn’t be able to be prosecuted for anything more than a misdemeanor and only if it was found within two years.)

As with everything else, it's Because Trump. No questions allowed.

The state claims the campaign was supposed to "mark" this money somehow because it was spent on "influencing the election" -- so they're trying to make it a "misuse of campaign funds", even though he didn't use campaign funds. (They're saying he should have)

The stupidest thing is if Trump HAD used campaign funds, they would have said THAT was a misuse of campaign funds.

The charge is a stretch to begin with, and it's already passed the statute of limitations. Even if the charge was somehow brought and a case put together, there's zero chance the state could win it. (It would also open up a million other things that must be label 'campaign funds', but we all know this is the only time this type of case would see a courtroom.)

Thank you and I can see why the media can’t summarize this then. Basically no way to do it without revealing how much of a stretch it is.

Who cares? Biden, Fauci, Baric, Wallensky, and dozens of others should be arrested as well! His arrest is just another diversion tactic.

I live in Texas so there are all kinds of things going on. My big concern is that the current state legislature is working on the use of drones against its own constituents. Each police department has written up rules for engagement. Some are very basic, but other police departments have given it a lot of thought. Think scenarios, possible uses crowd control, riot mitigation, hostage situations, the list goes on and on. Different levels of destruction, death, locally. Honestly, this should send a troubling shiver down everyones’ spine. Our own government is looking at us as possible terrorists.

I know we are talking about Trump and the politics that are being played, like a game of chess. I feel like first;

Trump loves to be the center of attention.

Various factions of people and agencies have been going after Trump since he became president.

If/when Trump is brought to court, I am going to make some recommendations,

If you are living in a city, get home and be safe

Have a week to two weeks worth of supplies

If you can get out of the city, go.

There will be people who will celebrate a trial, want to see him in handcuffs. They will be in the streets celebrating. But behind this group is another group the anarchists, the paid agitators, various unknown groups doing whatever they can to disrupt everything and everyone .

If this doesn’t happen YEAH! Then just keep an eye on reality, learn from what you did right and what you did wrong. You are going to have to be able to think, and take care of yourself.

I am not making this stuff up. I experienced this twice in my lifetime when MLK was assassinated and the Freddy Gray riots in Baltimore.

Right now there are a lot of factions pushing, pulling various agendas, and the general public is getting pushed up agains the wall. You can only push someone or something so far when it turns on you. Trump was stupid to say there will be riots, get ready. He was stoking the fire (IMHO) for some reason there are those in power that want it to fall down, collapse, become riots in the street with massive causalities and destruction. It is almost as if they want a lockdown of everything. I am naive, somewhat under educated, but I am really good at looking at reality. Not understanding what I am seeing, agendas with the sole intention of destruction just blow me away and yet here we are.

Sorry to end on a sad note.

Look what was done during the COVID lockdowns to silence the freedom protesters. Government agents infiltrated them, then the Democrat/media establishment sponsored the George Floyd riots to intimidate everyone. Believe me, I saw the organizers setting up shop in nearby parks and vacant lots. Those riots were not grassroots and the organizers weren't all leftist weirdos, some looked and acted like trained professionals. The leftist weirdos were there, of course, but I suspect they were the unwitting tools of something more sinister.

Yep. They said Floyd protests were OK but others were not. That was a huge tell.

So were the piles of bricks.

Yep, during the Floyd "protests" the Antifa had a cadre of young women warning those with cellphones: "No filming allowed!", and a cadre of thugs (sometimes drawn from a pool of recently released inmates under COVID protocols) nearby ready to smash your cellphone if you didn't obey. Why? Likely they didn't want any of their soldiers identified by internet sleuths at the next "event". Andy Ngo reported on this and got beaten up more than once for his efforts.

"Our own government is looking at us as possible terrorists."

It's been doing this ever since the 1990s when the Soviet Union collapsed and it needed a new enemy. Sucks to be a Muslim, a Russian, or an average American citizen. FedGov has you in the crosshairs.

If they arrest Mr Trump then shouldn't the head of the Biden crime syndicate be open for arrest as well?

One has to wonder if that might not be one of their plans. Just like “finding” Trumps classified docs, then suddenly Biden’s document situation rears its head and is much worse. I wouldn’t put it passed certain factions within the Deep State to set this precedent in order to use it against Joe if he doesn’t do what they tell him. They are capable of any kind of machinations!

That's usually how this ends up going........

The normal procedure is that your client goes to the jail, where he/she gets booked in, then bonds out - with a bondsman there, if needed. Some of the conditions for bond could include that he remain in the jurisdiction - easy for Trump, because he owns property in NYC, and that he shows up for hearings. He wouldn't be a flight risk, really, he's not violent or dangerous, and the charge appears to be a misdemeanor.
