The pearl-clutching apoplexy is thick in the latest report from NBC claiming the Dept of Homeland Security, FBI and New York City officials are conducting preparation drills in anticipation of President Trump being indicted for…. wait for it – paying porn star Stormy Daniels.  Good grief, I mean they might as well have said the Pentagon is positioning satellites, NORAD is conducting drills and the National Guard has been put on alert… for something.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is investigating Trump for felony falsification of business records because President Trump paid his attorney, Michael Cohen, with business funds identified as ‘legal services’.

(Via NBC) – Local, state and federal law enforcement and security agencies are preparing for the possibility that former President Donald Trump is indicted as early as next week, according to five senior officials familiar with the preparations. 

Law enforcement agencies are conducting preliminary security assessments, the officials said, and are discussing potential security plans in and around the Manhattan Criminal Court, at 100 Centre Street, in case Trump is charged in connection with an alleged hush money payment to Stormy Daniels and travels to New York to face any charges.

The officials stress that the interagency conversations and planning are precautionary in nature because no charges have been filed. 

The agencies involved include the NYPD, New York State Court Officers, the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, the officials said.  NBC News has reached out to all of those agencies for comment, and all have declined to comment.  (read more)

We should start targeting democrat office holders... so the same crap against them.

I should have said most, if not all.

On the other hand, if your opponent cheats and uses every dirty trick in the book, what good is ability and competence? If those mattered, America would not be circling in the toilet right now.

As far as moral high ground, that's important, but our enemies use that against us. We play by the rules, they don't. We may be right on the issues, but we're not winning, they are.

Hate to be so negative, but I've never been more pessimistic about the future of this country.

Arrested for what?

When you prosecute somebody for something that isn't a crime - or even if it is - nobody cares about it or it's a violation so petty that you can't explain to the American People, it tends to backfire. Sure, he'll lose the NPR vote, but they are scum and never were in Trump's (or any other Conservative's) camp to begin with.

This will only strengthen Trump going into 2024.

Looks like Trump himself said he’ll be arrested on Tuesday.

Very unorthadoxed how this story has come to be this am. Not the same as most “NOW WE GOT TRUMP” stories. I dont believe a word of it.

Its all bullshit.

Wait for it – paying porn star Stormy Daniels. Good grief

District Attorney Alvin Bragg showing the only thing he’s qualified for is traffic court.

True. I’m not sure what the answer is. I’m not sure where the line in the sand should be. I have a feeling it was crossed decades ago. Maybe it was Roe v. Wade (1973). Maybe it was Lawrence v. Texas (2003). Maybe it was Obergefell v. Hodges (2015). Maybe it was the 2020 election. Maybe it was the so-called Respect for Marriage Act (2022). Whenever it was, I’m pretty sure by now our founders would have written a declaration of war, saddled up, and taken the battle to the enemy. For most of us, it’s just too inconvenient to take any such extreme action. So, we hope a hero will step up and rescue us.
