Manhattan Grand Jury Votes To Indict President Trump
Here’s the breaking report from The New York Times: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.
The felony indictment, filed under seal by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, will likely be announced in the coming days. By then, prosecutors working for the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, will have asked Mr. Trump to surrender and to face arraignment on charges that remain unknown for now. Mr. Trump has for decades avoided criminal charges despite persistent scrutiny and repeated investigations, creating an aura of legal invincibility that the vote to indict now threatens to puncture.

Delicious. This is the first of several waiting for the Grifter in Chief.
He won't escape justice, you guys will continue to send him your hard earned money, and upon his first conviction you'll all go batshit. Can't wait for that warm feeling of schadenfreude.
what a sicko you are
“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” was Beria’s infamous boast. He served as deputy premier from 1941 until Stalin’s death in 1953, supervising the expansion of the gulags and other secret detention facilities for political prisoners.

Pelosi's comment "Trump has a chance to prove his innocence". Hmmmm,,,,, wonder how that will work out for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
7-34 use words you know how to spell
@7:34, for a Marxixst, I think you spell very well.
Right now, DeSantis said he will not extradite Donald Trump who is in residence at Mar-A-Lago. This should be interesting.
Trump's poll numbers are up again over this latest political move by Alvin Bragg.
Bragg, according to all experts, has no case.
Which word was misspelled?
@9:12...I didn't see anything misspelled.
DeSantis has no power to prevent Trump from being "extradited".
That only works for foreign countries... states don't have any power to do it. To attempt such an action would also be unconstitutional, but you wouldn't know that because none of you have ever read the entire document with clarity. His statement was pure dog whistle for MAGA cultists, and that you guys don't get it is both disturbing and amusing.
If you have been arrested in Florida on an extradition warrant from another state, Florida law gives you the right to a hearing in which you can fight the extradition.
"New York could seek extradition, first, through Florida's governor
But if Trump refuses a voluntary appearance, then Florida officials would get involved.
As a Palm Beach County resident, New York would seek a court order to force Trump's extradition, said Aronberg.
Normally, such a motion would go to Florida's governor, an interesting twist given Gov. Ron DeSantis is widely believed to be readying his own 2024 Republican presidential primary challenge to Trump.
Things got even more interesting on Thursday when DeSantis appeared to flip-flop. Last week, the governor flatly stated he would not be involved in the case."
Trump's lawyers say he will appear in NY
Florida Statutes-- Chapter 941
