Exclusive: Trump to be charged Tuesday with 34 felony counts, but spared handcuffs and mug shot (All Felonies!)
Yahoo News ^ | April 3rd, 2023 | Michael Isikoff

Donald Trump will be placed under arrest on Tuesday and informed that he has been charged with 34 felony counts for falsification of business records, according to a source who has been briefed on the procedures for the arraignment of the former president.

A New York City Police arrest report summarizing the charges against Trump will then be prepared and entered into the court system before he is led into a courtroom to be formally arraigned on the charges, none of which are misdemeanors.

But, the source said, Trump will not be put in handcuffs, placed in a jail cell or subjected to a mug shot — typical procedures even for white-collar defendants until a judge has weighed in on pretrial conditions. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, which has been consulting with the Secret Service and New York City court officials, concluded that there was no reason to subject the former president to handcuffs or a mug shot.

They can’t stop him from campaigning. He just can’t talk about the trial.

Nothing has happened yet. We don’t know the charges. Nothing has been gagged.

Folks are getting worked up over things they don’t know. Everyone should take a breath and wait 24 hours to “know” instead of getting worked up about rumors.

Fair enough. We have enough media clairvoyants already.

It's be another thing if he wanted to hunker down in Mar-A-Lago

So relieved to see him "peacefully respect the system" like Pelosi said, playing their game, their way, by their rules. /s

Virtually none of the Dem voters out there have paused to ponder... “What does this mean the gov’t could do to ME?”

Funny how you mentioned Caesar. I was telling Hubby that this reminds me so much of the Roman Colosseum were Christians were burned alive, eaten alive by animals, crucified, cut into pieces, they died horrible horrible deaths for a crime they did not commit. Just substitute those Christians for the modern day christians who are NOW being wrongly blamed, and accused of crimes they never committed. The set up stunk to high heaven then and it stinks now. God help us because these evil demonic satan worshippers POS bastards have the power the money and powerful institution to come after every conservative and Christians the way they did during the Roman Empire . Folks, it is time that we start pleading 24/7 to God to help us because this is our last stand…no one will come to our rescue….NOOOOO ONE …God help us! 😢

What’s the statute of limitations on felonies; have they also run out?

It’s like being arrested for resisting arrest.

“Well, what did you arrest him for?”

“He were resisting, yer honor.”

“Yes, but why were you arresting him?”

“For resisting. “

If the republican party were a real party the democrats would never even attempt this. They could definitely do a lot to fight back but they aren’t doing s@#$.

I think the person who said that said “at least one felony.”

You can cross off number 10, Georgia Guidestones.

I wonder if they will try to pin that on Trump too? Notice how soon it dropped off the news cycle?

Or the Dem political operatives said, “No, thanks—a mug shot or cuffs would backfire on us.”

I beleive it was CNN who ran a article a few days ago begging Fat Albert not to release the mug shot. Guess they were too afraid it would be leaked, just like the rest of the “sealed” indictment.

So much for a sealed/secret process. If the DA wasn’t a partisan hack, no one would have known until HE made it public.

It has been nothing but leaks from the office.

I’ve been to 10 of those places. Didn’t seem satanic to me.

Some of the people, maybe.

My understanding is that they’re making each payment to Cohen an individual felony.

the scum on the left are claiming that since the payments went on for years, it was still within the statute of limitations
