Law enforcement agencies are preparing for a possible Trump indictment as early as next week.
Earlier this year the Manhattan District Attorney’s office revived its criminal investigation into Trump’s ‘hush payments’ to porn star Stephanie Clifford, AKA, Stormy Daniels.
Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
President Trump didn’t testify to the Manhattan grand jury this week.
Trump’s lawyer Joe Tacopina blasted the prosecutors in the Stormy case earlier this week.
“It’s not what we do. This is not what we do. We are distorting laws to try and bag President Trump. I don’t know if it’s because he’s leading in the polls,” Trump’s lawyer Joe Tacopina said on Good Morning America. “I don’t know what it is, but this prosecutor and this prosecutor’s office has made an agenda. They have scoured his personal life and business life for seven years to try to find something.”

I think the logic is that he paid her with his money but seeing that he was running for office and that paying her benefited his campaign that the funds he paid her with was a campaign contribution off the books. Therefore is was either an illegal contribution and illegal use of campaign funds.
No. He paid with personal funds.
Could DeSantis stop him from being extradition?
Meant extradited
When you pay off whores….what good can come of it?
The dude wanted to be with a porn star. What did he think would happen?
“Everything, Everywhere, All at Once”
Sounds like my house problems
Expect a few manufactured events that are supposed to fool people that MAGA voters are acting up and out of control.
The events will be carefully cast, choreographed and distributed in select parts of the country.
“Did he use campaign funds or public funds to pay Stormy Daniels?”
I think the ever-trustworthy Michael Cohen handled things for Trump on this, so no telling.
“The Georgia DA case with a grand jury for his alleged attempted election interference....”
That election was officially certified as completed.
Lets pretend for the sake of argument that he did..a campaign finance violation, so what the penalty for that? I mean AOC has been accused of that many times I dont see her getting the perp walk
There’s nothing they could possibly do to “prepare” enough if they do this.
“The Carroll Rape defamation civil lawsuit....”
A high end store normally video records the entrances to changing rooms.
If something shocking appeared to have happened involving Trump, the video monitors would have kept at least one recording.
Dinesh D’Souza was put in jail for it.
Ok, so I should be expecting AOC to be arrested at any moment then..oh wait..she’s a dem
Yeah, they only attack Republicans for that.
Just to be clear…
We are talking about a grown man; married to a beautiful woman with a young child; in trouble for paying off a porn actress.
And we are judging the character of everyone, but him?
Sure, the Biden family is corrupt and they should be jailed. Jared probably got payback money from the Middle East. He should be called out as well.
Can’t we do better than these old fools.
“Michael Cohen, his former attorney and “fixer,” eventually pleaded guilty to campaign finance charges stemming from his involvement with the payments and served three years in prison.”
There’s a timeline in this “CBS” article. It’s obvious he’d get a slap on the wrist if he were not Trump so it’s hard to predict.
“The prosecutors (persecutors?) claim that he paid Miss “Daniels” using campaign funds,...”
You could be right, but my understanding is that it wasn’t paid from campaign funds, but prosecutors are claiming that it was a campaign expenditure (since it helped his campaign), so they want to prosecute him for not reporting it as a campaign expenditure. It’s a really weak legal argument, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try.
With as many agencies as they’re talking to about this, you’d think they expect that something is going to happen.
The question is ..Will it?
If they indict Trump and we don’t get off our ass and get out there and put the fear of God Almighty into them, then America is done. Period.
