A former federal prosecutor said Saturday that former President Donald Trump's post on Truth Social sharing details of his arrest could affect his chances of getting bail and his conditions for release.
Trump claimed on his Truth Social account that the Manhattan DA's office will arrest him on Tuesday - and branded the probe 'corrupt and highly political', calling the alleged hush money payment an 'old and fully debunked fairy-tale.'
Glenn Kirschner, an MSNBC legal analyst, went on the network Saturday and compared the all-caps rant to his posts leading up to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 and said it could affect the terms of his release.
He speculated that a judge could interpret Trump's post as an attempt to incite a crowd to riot - raising the specter of a judge ordering Trump held behind bars to stop him posting further inflammatory communications ahead of any trial.
'I would slap a government exhibits sticker on this post and I would introduce it as his criminal trial,' Kirschner explained.
'He has now just given the judge that will preside over his arraignment hearing food for thought about what kind of conditions should be set for the release of this dangerous man pending trial,' he added.

Here we go again — an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump.
I’m directing relevant committees to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions
Of course he can
He won in 2020
He can win in 2024 if they don’t cheat.
Or if Patriots find a way to counter their cheating.
Fight fire with fire.
Cheat better than the dems cheat.
Second tweet down right now

I keep thinking how much more moving Trump’s plea for a popular protest of his plight would be if he had been calling for the same response for other injustices, such as the treatment of, say, Julian Assange.
There are wheels within wheels here we don’t see. And the media won’t let us.
Trump still has my trust because he is still fighting. Is he perfect? no, but keep eyes on the ball, not shiny distractions.
What will cause the banking failures to explode into violence is when people see SVB get bailed out and small regional banks in red states left to fail like Janet said they would do.
As we’ve seen in Canada and Netherlands, I won’t be surprised if we see labor target the tyrants. Truckers and train workers walkout and New York begins starving in 48 hours.
It’s a tender box for sure.
Behind this? SOROS!

Vance didn’t say any such thing. He specifically said he tee’d it up for bragg.
Trump is playing them.
They will not arrest him.
This is all a ploy to distract from Biden Family crimes.
Joe and Hunter should be arrested
Everyone knows campaign finance laws are drafted to reduce the democratic process. But sadly they are quite successful when they come to charging and convicting. Just ask De Souza. Essentially Trump is being charged with the equivalent of a jay walking charge.
Drudge thinks they are going to do it.
Worse and worse: Arrested. Denied bail. He could rot for as long as the January 6 protesters. Years before he sees a trial. If he makes it that long.
