Grand Jury Votes to Indict Donald Trump in New York
NYT ^

Posted on 03/30/2023 2:31:37 PM PDT by Jeremiah2911

A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald J. Trump on Thursday for his role in paying hush money to a porn star, according to four people with knowledge of the matter, a historic development that will shake up the 2024 presidential race and forever mark him as the nation’s first former president to face criminal charges.

“Thanks for your input, noob. I’ve been here 20 years longer than you.”

What a stupid point.

Regarding the rest of your screed it is quite obvious you have no idea what you are talking about. It is further obvious that you do not belong here. Here, reread this masterpiece that came from your alleged brain:

“These people worship trump. They no longer subscribe to Conservative ideals. They believe only what trump tells them. They have lost all faith in the electoral system because trump told them to. It’s un-American to follow a man like this.”

Its not just Trump they are obsessed with destroying. They want to take the nation down too. Along with everyone who voted for him. We are the real target.

100%

Can Governor DeSantis not recognize an extradition request from another state? I have read that the Supreme Court ruled in the 1980s that a state cannot do so.

The indictment is under seal until his arraignment.

He and his legal team are free to discuss it, but the DAs office can’t say anything until he appears in court.

Ron DeSantis
@GovRonDeSantis

The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head.

It is un-American.

The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent.

Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda.

“Well it would be a no-win for DeSantis if if tried to “help” because for some people it would never be enough. If Trump were convicted there are those who would find a way to blame it on DeSantis.”

Some would...others maybe not. Even in my case, I was only leaning towards Trump...until last week, when DeSantis took the side of the Neocons in their effort to start World War 3, and then the cheap shot at Trump, when Trump was facing OBVIOUS political persecution.

In your mealy-mouthed attempt to discredit me, you just proved my point. Trump is your god. He tells you they cheated, so you simply scream "THEY CHEATED!" whenever anyone says trump lost in 2020 and will lose again in 2024.

You are unwilling to have a rational conversation because you have been conditioned to put your fingers in your ears, stomp your feet, and yell "THEY CHEATED!" again and again because trump told you to do so. It's pathetic and un-American to follow one man in this manner.

You question if I belong on this website. I question if you belong in this country.

It’s un-American to follow a man like this.

Nobody said it was un-American to follow Obama. Or even Joe for that matter. Why just Trump?

I am uncertain what the actual law states but I am pretty confident that we are in new territory where politicians pick and choose the laws they wish to enforce and those they ignore.

DeSantis is pretty salty and chippy (he has a little bit of Trump in him) so I don’t really see what recourse NY would have to hold a governor in another state accountable, but I am pretty sure Trump will appear.

We are just going to have to let this play out because it is quite possible that Fulton County, Georgia, is going to do the same thing.

FWIW - I don’t think this hurts Trump. A lot of sober democrats are on the record saying this case is a steaming pile of you know what. We are truly living in bizarroworld aren’t we?

I think I know why this happened today:

Now that SB 686 is becoming understood, they had to come up with an emergency distraction from their massive, unconstitutional thugocratic power grab.

Another mass shooting would take a couple of days to set up. All this would take to put in action was a phone call or text message to Bragg or Letitia James.

The first arrest will be the harbinger of things to come.

Is this the first arrest?

In a world that made sense, you could have a sensible discussion about elections, and ow to run and strategy and all that.

That world exists only prior to 2020.

The world no longer makes sense, and evil is running rampant.

If the left had any integrity at all, and cared just half as much about “our democracy” as they pretend to, literally NONE of this would be happening.

No, not at all.

You only believe what the corrupt media tells you. "Trump supporters are brainwashed", they say. And you believe it.

But Trump said he had insiders on the Grand Jury. How could this happen?

“Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda.”

That was a good statement. To be honest I don’t know if that means Trump is safe in Florida, or instead that NYC has other options. And he didn’t mention Stormy, so he got that part right, finally.

I do know that if DeSantis can be seen as protecting Trump, his political value shoots up - but we’ll see!

>>“Probably means two things: 1. Trump will be the nominee, and 2. Another Dem President in 2024. Great job, everyone!” Yup, The Democrats know exactly what they’re doing.

But tactically this was NOT a wise move and many Democrats know it. That's why they were advising Bragg to back off (eg. liberal Jessica Tarlov of "The Five"). The smart move was to wait for Georgia's weightier indictment. Now that much weightier indictment will now be marginalized, and considered some of the "same ol' same ol'."
