Trump to be charged with 34 FELONY Counts tomorrow

[gwg77]

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.

The stated reason for handcuffing defendants is on the grounds that the suspect might be a flight risk or a threat to the district attorney or court personnel, neither of which were judged to be relevant to the handling of a former president protected at all times by a phalanx of Secret Service agents.

The charge of falsification of business records is normally prosecuted in New York state as a misdemeanor. But Bragg’s office bumped up all the charges to Class E felonies — the lowest level of felonies in the New York State penal code on the grounds that the conduct was intended to conceal another underlying crime, according to the source.

Under the New York State penal code, a conviction for the Class E felony of falsifying business records can result in a prison term of up to four years. But as a practical matter, that seems extremely unlikely. “No one gets jail time for that as a first offender,” said a New York law enforcement official.

The evidence for the underlying crime that escalated Trump’s alleged misdemeanors to felonies is still not clear and won’t be until the indictment is unsealed on Tuesday. But it is believed to relate to the payment of $130,000 in hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels during the closing weeks of the 2016 election to conceal an extramarital encounter with Trump.

After this story was posted, a spokesman for Trump said the former president’s legal team has not seen the indictment or been briefed on the details. Trump himself responded with a post on TruthSocial.

“Wow! District Attorney Bragg just illegally LEAKED the various points, and complete information, on the pathetic Indictment against me,” Trump wrote. “I know the reporter and so, unfortunately, does he. This means that he MUST BE IMMEDIATELY INDICTED. Now, if he wants to really clean up his reputation, he will do the honorable thing and, as District Attorney, INDICT HIMSELF. He will go down in Judicial history, and his Trump Hating wife will be, I am sure, very proud of him!”

Nothing is going to happen, just simply political theater.

Meanwhile, fat diversity hire Bragg leaking the indictment is an actual felony. Whoops.

[keyboardworkout]

Dems went full retard. Guaranteed his reelection.

They still have no idea how badly this has already started to backfire on them. Lol.

[TCmaxxing]

Lol @ Bragg with his history of downgrading real criminal felonies to dropped and non-felony charges while he upgrades a political opponents charge from a questionable misdemeanor to felony

34 counts doesn't mean the case is stronger or that they have more evidence. With these sort of cases, it's common for prosecutors to charge every phone call, email, text message etc. as one count.

Here, Trump actually paid Cohen in installments, not all at once. Likely, they are counting every check as 1 count

Dems went full retard. Guaranteed his reelection.

Doubtful.

Most people agree with his prosecution.

It’s actually hilarious watching Trumptards convince themselves this is good news for Trump. Poorly educated indeed.

It’s just back to the status quo.


DeSantis will be a Bush.


We finally had a legit president in the white house and look at how the establishment freaked out. This country was always a dog and pony show.

What exactly did Trump do in the White House that was so great? You bash Bush but Trump hired John Bolton as a national security advisor. LMAO

do you say this as a right leaning centrist?

[Jasonw1178]

Doing my own research I've found that the only way for him to get a felony count is if they can prove that Trump knowingly was trying to cover for anoher felony crime. Basically, extortion and witness tampering. No crime was committed here.

Example: Bill robbed a bank. Tom was going to the police. Bill gives Tom $X for him to agree to keep his mouth shut.

Honestly it's hard to feel sorry for Trump. He had 4 years to Drain the Swamp but he spent time golfing and filling it up instead.
