Leftists are fantasizing about Donald Trump being arrested, booked, and put on trial. Well, they are fantasizing about that…again.
The New York State Attorney General’s investigation of the Trump Organization is now “no longer purely civil in nature,” Fabien Levy, the spokesperson for New York Attorney General Letitia James, confirmed to Politico by email. “We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan D.A. We have no additional comment at this time.”
It is important for political observers, cowardly-lion Republicans, patriots, and activists to know what is happening here. More ammunition and detail are needed to arm the reader properly for this latest tempest in a teapot being sold as a hurricane.
Leftists are so enthusiastic about Trump’s imminent arrest that the government of Palm Beach County is making plans to arrest the former President at his Mar-a-Lago resort in high-society Palm Beach, Florida. According to Politico,
Law enforcement officials in Palm Beach County, Fla., have actively prepared for the possibility that Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance could indict former President Donald Trump while he’s at Mar-a-Lago, according to two high-ranking county officials involved in planning sessions. Among the topics discussed in those meetings: how to handle the thorny extradition issues that could arise if an indictment moves forward.
Do sensible people think that local County officials sit around making plans for something that might happen and that others would handle? For crimes like these, an accused might turn himself in or show up in court.
If New York state issued an indictment, arresting Trump would require opening a case in Florida with its governor, Ron DeSantis, executing the indictment through the state’s police. The Palm Beach County government would not be involved. The Secret Service would handle surrounding events.

Speaking as a political activist since 1984, this is a stunt aimed at the same failed tactic: The establishment tries to peel away Trump voters to get their support for the Mitt Romneys, Bob Doles, John McCains, Bushes, and so on. If Trump voters see him being hauled off in handcuffs, would the voters fall back in love with Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and John Kasich?
The establishment misses that the voters never liked the swamp creature Republicans in the first place. In 2008 and 2012, we stuck clothespins on our noses to make sure the Democrats didn’t win but they’d already lost us at “Read my lips: No new taxes.” Nevertheless, in 1994, the establishment ran independent candidate Marshall Coleman against Oliver North, the GOP nominee and choice of Republican voters, resulting in the election of Democrat Chuck Robb as Virginia’s U.S. Senator. We were mad before Trump.
As a criminal defense and constitutional attorney in Virginia and the federal court in the District of Columbia, I analyzed this in-depth with criminal defense consultant Norm Bradford for Thursday’s discussion on Action Radio (starting at 1:32). I passed the New York State bar out of law school although I did not end up practicing there. Here are the key points from that discussion:
First, New York is investigating “The Trump Organization” (“TTO”), a business, not Donald Trump, the individual. Companies can be charged with crimes.

Of course.....Trump has shown he is not a fighter who will do anything other than make a deal.
His refusal to fight and draw blood is his undoing
I thought Trump was now in New Jersey.
They think if they keep trying to impeach and sue and place law suits against him that it will cost him votes. Cant wait for some of these a-holes to get busted. I hope Trump set a trap that they all get snared in.
He has been the most successful fighter for the country in two generations.
Yes, he was not perfect.
It is so easy to be a Monday morning quarterback.
I’ve been hoping the same for over 4 years now.
of course they can arrest Trump. They can do whatever they want without repercussion
Just for the summer. Probably going to be a long time until anything comes of this political witch hunt .
I largely agree.
Search is your friend. This article was already posted this morning.
Trump was successful, extremely success ful making deals.
I think of all that went on in the Russia, Russia, Russia crap. Trump did not take any aggressive action to take our, maim or even injure those who were determined to do him harm.
He did not fight back
If Trump knew, in January, 2016, what he knows to day, things would have been much different, to be sure.
But, he did not. The closest to being prescient on this, and he did warn President Trump, was Rush Limbaugh.
Trump's biggest mistake was assuming his opponents wanted to do what is best for the United States.
They don't. They hate the United States. They hate us. It has been exposed for all to see.
If Trump had chosen an aggressive AG, who worked with him as much as Eric Holder did with Obama, yes things would have been much, much different.
JFK chose an "aggressive AG." Within eight years, both JFK and his AG were shot dead.
“Trump has shown he is not a fighter who will do anything other than make a deal.”
I guess we could have nominated Cruz, just to see him get his ass wiped by Hillary and the Democrats.
Trump slowed them significantly for 4 years, which is FAR BETTER than the Bush’s. If we want to do better, perhaps OUR VOTERS should be more willing to hold our noses and vote for people like Roy Moore, even if he did like dating young girls, as just ONE extra Senator would have made life far easier for Trump in his first 2 years.
“If Trump had chosen an aggressive AG”
I’m not sure what Trump could have done. Sessions was an excellent Senator and totally BUCKED the GOP by giving Trump a comprehensive platform on immigration...and yes, it everything Trump, and most of us, wanted on immigration, wall, chain migration, everything.
Sessions really seemed to be on Trump’s side...now I’m thinking it was all a ruse to get that job. But again, what was Trump to do, given how much Sessions helped him in the campaign?
This NY AG is a progressive activist, first and foremost. I wouldn't put it past her to bring a case she knows she can't, won't win just to be able to get the photo-op of Trump in handcuffs and a 'mugshot.' She would absolutely do that.
One of President Trump's greatest achievements is the exposure of the depth of evil in the Deep State, and how committed it is to World Government, and American decline.
He has all the right ideas and he actually means EXACTLY what he says, and he is perhaps perfectly unique in contemporary American politics in that regard. But, he just doesn't know how to get things done.
This deficit was exacerbated by his inability to surround himself with loyal and competent captains and lieutenants who did know how to get things done. For example, it wasn't until his last 6-months in office did he have a Chief of Staff who had a similar world view as his own. That's all on Trump.
Just in time to distract from the uncovering of massive election fraud by the Democrats.
