You were probably not alone if the news of Donald Trump’s indictment seemed slightly strange: How could something so big — the first criminal indictment of an American president — seem so small?
Mr. Trump was not indicted for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election or for engaging in egregious financial fraud to increase his wealth or even for allegedly obstructing the special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, which many once thought was the best avenue prosecutors had to ensnare the former president.
Instead, the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, and his team of prosecutors have brought the country back six and a half years, to the final weeks of the 2016 election, when Mr. Trump paid the adult film star Stormy Daniels to prevent her from going public with a story about an affair she said they had while Mr. Trump was married. (The details of what the indictment contains remain unknown — its contents will be unsealed after Mr. Trump turns himself in, most likely next week — but it is expected to charge the former president with falsifying business records of the payment, disguising the payoff as routine legal fees.)

I disagree, happy to support through donation.
“ Cohen stated in a 2018 letter that Trump, nor any of his organizations ever reimbursed him for the money he paid Daniels.”
Yeah, that’s one of the liars involved with this tale. Stormy claimed, at least twice, that the “affair” never happened.
No, it hasn’t. The Republican Party does not have the guts or backbone to respond in kind to the Democrats. The Democrats are aware of this and act accordingly.
The goal is to keep the pendulum from ever swinging again. Democrats think that things will never change. BUT History tells us that things do change in ways they do not expect. The French Aristocrats (who paid no taxes) never thought they would face justice from the mob and their guillotine. They thought the army would protect them and the palaces. The streets of New York may well be covered in blood when things go south and this time there will be no friendly nation to flee too. No Scarlet Pimpernel to save them.
4 years He started with “Criminal Hillary” after over a year campaigning calling her that. That should have been day 1 business. He should have interviewed AGs with this question Here’s the file can you indict her? James Comey had already read her crimes on TV and said they won’t indict her. The case was already made in that file.
Biden’s confession at the CFR meeting about threatening the Ukraine if they didn’t stop investigating his criminal kid, was early 18. The dossier was known before that and the FISA wiretap plot by 19.
Biden confesses and brags and laughs about it:
My 4-year old grandson could have indicted him and Hillary and Obama the coup leaders. He knows the bad guys from the good guys.
Wonder how an indictment of a made up felony by a white DA against, oh let’s say obama for a decades old item would fly. Betting that there would be a total cry of ‘racist’ flying every minute. Wonder why that doesn’t occur in this comedy of supposed justice with the racist AG and President Trump?
NO DEMOCRATS WILL EVER FEAR BEING PROSECUTED!
