BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump Indicted Over Hush Money

Just three days after Sean Hannity claimed the case had “imploded,” Donald Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury for his corrupt and fraudulent payment of hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels.

From The New York Times:

Donald J. Trump was indicted in Manhattan on Thursday for his role in paying hush money to a porn star, according to five 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.

In the coming days, prosecutors working for the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, will likely ask Mr. Trump to surrender and to face arraignment. The specific charges will be announced when he is arraigned.

On Monday, during his interview with Trump, Hannity said, “Alvin Bragg's weak and politically charged case against Donald Trump has now imploded.”

Apparently not. But you can count on MAGA Fox and its allies to attack the case and the DA without regard for their favorite pu**y grabber’s guilt or innocence.

Here’s a screen grab of FoxNews.com a few minutes ago. I’ll have more on this later:

A lot is being made about Michael Cohen having been convicted of perjury and financial crimes, as though that makes his testimony unreliable. Nobody I’ve heard so far on CNN and other international media, has taken the time to remind viewers that plea bargaining is a way prosecutors can get the evidence needed to put as many culprits in jail as possible, including the top brass. Mafia thugs are routinely given a break (even witness protection) if they spill the beans on their “family”, so long as what they say is corroborated by other sources.
Why should this not be the case for Cohen? …. Oh wait, it’s that thingee called hypocrisy, again. The GOP never, but never disappoints.

Trump is reportedly going to turn himself in on Tuesday afternoon.

Forgive my ignorance. I now understand that DeSantis has no power to stand in the way of extradition. Nevertheless, there is talk that the D.A. may request at the arraignment that Agent Orange be confined to New York for the duration.

Oh Happy Day!

Actually, the worst might be having to shut up. If his immediate reactions are anything to go by, that would be the most intelligent of moves.

The worst that can happen now, and I’m sure The Orange Arse is leaning toward this, is that he refuses to leave his gilded nest in Florida. The congenital idiot DeSantis has already declared he will block extradition from ‘his’ state.

Stand back and stand by, folks.
