Legal experts are picking up “signals” that the Trump team is bracing for subpoenas or indictments in the New York City and Georgia investigations into the former president.
Washington, D.C.-based public interest lawyer John Banzhaf, who prompted the election interference investigation in Georgia, said the case is heating up. He noted that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is struggling for documents from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who is said to be “lawyering up.”
Meanwhile, Willis has hired a special prosecutor who had a role in the Whitewater case against former President Bill Clinton.
Banzhaf also noted that in New York, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. has added a forensic accountant in his investigation of old Trump financial deals and taxes.
In both cases, the political geography doesn’t favor former President Donald Trump. In New York, said Banzhaf, Vance is not running for another term and “just might want to end his already-illustrious career with a bang.”
And in Georgia, Banzhaf said that Willis “is a Democrat in a heavily Democratic county. Therefore, most members of a grand jury, and of any criminal trial juries in this county, are likely to be very unfriendly to Trump, especially now that he has lost a lot of his clout and his ability to reach out easily on social media with most of his followers.”
Over the weekend, Banzhaf also pointed to other legal troubles potentially for Trump, with the General Services Agency agreeing to turn over records requested by House Transportation Chairman Peter DeFazio on the Trump International Hotel lease of the Old Post Office Building. And Trump’s former White House lawyer has agreed to appear before a congressional investigating committee.
“So there's ever-growing evidence that the noose is tightening around Trump, and that a criminal indictment against him

Signs grow…noose is tightening…how many more times can we hear about this just like the Georgia phone call that was released severely edited to make him look bad when the whole call totally exonerated him…and because he can’t reach his followers on social media my goodness the examiner can’t get over that Russia was totally bogus
This is a stupid article that is built entirely on speculation, supposition, and “signals.” Must be a slow news day at the Washington Examiner.
They’ll post their disapproval, at least.
In New York it's probably going to be claims of tax and financial fraud. In Georgia it's allegations of election fraud relating to that phone call with the Georgia governor about finding enough votes to win the election recount.
Get REAL. the left is EVIL and it’s on the March and NOONE is stopping THEM!
Yep. That’ll scare the left. Round up, keyboard warriors!

Trump’s tax returns are probably very complicated. And the tax rules themselves are often unclear, and open to interpretation. So a quote from Stalin’s secret police chief surely applies here:
“Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.”

Give em back law fare. Investigate Vance in Texas and Florida and this GA DA. Find the jurisdictional hook and drag em in.
I have more confidence in American patriots.
And in the meantime the Clintons still walk free.
Not sure 'bracing' is the operative word here. More like "bring it" and "make my day" and "you feeling lucky?".
Trump doesn’t do his own taxes, so even if there is something off, he’ll pay back taxes and fines - but his lawyers & accountants are responsible for what goes into the returns, Trump is neither an accountant or lawyer.
I guess Liz didn’t come through and they don’t want Trump leaving Florida to take her down, or take down Murkowski.
Too bad, it won’t matter - if Trump wants them gone, they’re as good as gone.
New leader hanging the deposed leader after stealing the election. Just bad form.
Riots commence at 11:00, a thousand heads on pikes.
Maybe this is why they keep warning us about white supremacism.

I’m assuming part of the payoff offered for Trump’s meekly leaving DC and his refusal to form a real second party was “No Mas” for himself and family. Imagine that, the DS lied to Trump again. After four plus years Trump learned zero about the DS. Trump was making the same bonehead mistakes with the DS the last week of his administration as he did in the first. He might be a business man but as a DC political operative he’s the worst I’ve ever seen.
I don’t. People are far too comfortable in their own lives, even while their freedoms are being taken away. Very, very few have it in their DNA to make a personal sacrifice now.
Be very, very careful DAs.
Or what exactly?! People won’t do sh*t if Trump is indicted on what appears to be bogus charges,
*********************************************************
No the “people” won’t do sh*t but if you believe Trump won’t you would be wrong. If you haven’t already I suggest you read his books and see in them how what he said back then has been applied to his life now.
One of Trumps strongest beliefs is to never, ever quit if you believe in something. Never stop fighting and if you are knocked down get up and begin fighting again, This is something he has taught all his children.
AS has been said this is 100% political and Trump has never been accused of anything other than misrepresenting the value of his holdings in the process of securing financing for his business ventures. Good luck with that one.
Looks like NY and Georgia want to start WW3. Don’t poke the bear! He bites!
