Trump says he expects to be arrested Tuesday, urges nation to protest

https://justthenews.com/politi..._campaign=newsletter

Former President Donald Trump said Saturday he expects to be arrested Tuesday by New York prosecutors in a case over hush money to a porn star and called for Americans to protest and "take back our nation."

Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social platform, slamming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in a post that used all capital letters for trying to indict a former president rather than focus on rising crime in America's largest city.

"Now illegal leaks from a corrupt & highly political Manhattan district attorneys office, which has allowed new records to be set in violent crime & whose leader is funded by George Soros, indicate that, with no crime being able to be proven, & based on an old & fully debunked (by numerous other prosecutors!) fairytale, the far & away leading Republican candidate & former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week," Trump wrote.

"Protest, take our nation back!" he added.

If Trump's prediction is correct, the nation is headed to a moment never before experienced, not even under Richard Nixon or Andrew Johnson. No former president has ever been prosecuted in American history.

Political experts have predicted a Trump indictment would galvanize an already bitter divide in America between liberals who see Trump unfit to lead and conservatives who see the 75-year-old former president as a successful leader who has been unfairly tarred by "banana Republic" smear tactics from Democrats and ideological bureaucrats in the law enforcement and intelligence world.

Law enforcement officials began quietly making security arrangements for an indictment later this week.

Danielle Filson, a spokeswoman for the district attorney, told The Associated Press that Bragg's office “will decline to confirm or comment” on questions pertaining to Trump’s post.

Trump has said he will continue to run for president in 2024 even if he i charged and has steadfastly denied any wrongdoing, calling the probe a "witchhunt" by a Democrat prosecutor.

A grand jury in Manhattan has been soliciting testimony from witnesses, including disgraced former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, who alleges he aranged payments in 2016 to two women to silence them about sexual encounters they claimed to have with Trump a decade earlier.

Cohen -- who has pleaded guilty to crimes, served prison time and was disbarred -- alleges he arranged payments totaling $280,000 to porn actor Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal. Cohen claims the payments were hush money to buy the women's silence as made his first run for office in 2016.

Legal experts like Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz have raised concerns about the legal merits of the case. Prosecutors would also face questions about a case built upon the testimonies of a porn star, and the work of two disgraced lawyers. In addition to Cohen, Daniels' former lawyer, Michael Avennati, also has been convicted of crimes.

One of the challenges for prosecutors is that Cohen, who has admitted in federal court to false statement to Congress, played a central role in the payments.

Joe Tacopina, Trump's lawyers in the case, signaled a likely defense strategy in a TV interview last week, suggesting that Daniels demanded "extortion" money from Trump and that Cohen advised the strategy to use.

Cohen is a "fraud, a liar" and "was his lawyer at the time and advised him that this was the proper way to do this to protect himself and his family from embarrassment. It is simple as that," Tacopina told MSNBC recently.

Fox: Trump may be HANDCUFFED and arrested next week

Elon Musk: If this happens, Trump will be re-elected in a landslide victory

Every time they try to strike him down, Trump becomes more powerful than they can imagine. Musk is correct. Trump will be unstoppable if they try this. Someone insert the meme where there's a picture of Trump and the caption is "they're not really coming after me, they're coming after you and I'm the one standing in the way. "

They won't be able to help themselves. I expect they'll go through with it and arrest him. And damn them to hell if they do.

The raid on Mar-a-Lago was bad enough, but this--arresting a former President and current Presidential candidate--is on another level. Trump has truly broken something in these people's minds.

Seems to me likely they were already broken. Trump merely forced them to expose themselves.

Are the two attacking each other though? All of the attacks seem to come from Trump.

Asking for DeSantis to be removed as Governor is a real dick move on Trumps part.

Trump's legal tormenters are going to have a tough time selling this to the country, even with their complicit old media bastards. To one extent they'll get away with it but I can't imagine their rabid howling will serve them well. A true watershed moment seems to be upon us, buckle up.

Left is looking for violence to implement martial law but I think a massive Go Galt Strike is best response. MAGA supporters must come down with a massive case of Red Flu and we can shut it all down.

Should I keep my family home with me on Tuesday?

All this arrest stuff is nothing but BS. It’s a NY state misdemeanor charge that has already run past the statute of limitations..if for some reason or way the DA gets it upped to felony charges it’s still past the SOL.

And because it’s a state charge all President Trump needs to do is not go to NY. No way is RDS gonna issue a Governors warrant for extradition of Trump. It would be the end of his political aspirations.

Unless Trump goes and turns himself in on it. Then Trump will be a martyr. And he will win bigly, bigger then they can cheat.

I said it in the Trump/DeSantis thread, and I'll say it again here. If they both swallowed their pride, especially President Trump and they teamed up to battle the dems, they could not be beat. Given the state of the country, I hope they see what's needed.

They won't.

This is Presidential politics. You better believe it's going to be as nasty as you fear it could be. And then maybe even a little worse than that. This Primary will be a blood bath.

President Trump Says He Expects to be Arrested Next Tuesday

In a Truth Social post earlier today [LINK HERE], President Donald Trump announced a leak from the Manhattan district attorney’s office indicates he will be arrested next Tuesday.



While there has been some attention to the “protest, take our nation back” element to the statement, in totality that reference point appears to be misinterpreted. President Trump is not calling for a protest in response to his arrest per se’; to me he appears to be calling upon “protest” in relation to the totality of the corrupt and manipulative state of our nation as a result of the radical leftists tearing our nation apart.

The enemy will make any protest part of their corrupt agenda.

Many forget that DeSantis owes his win in 2018 for the governorship to Donald Trump. In the state primaries, he was trailing Adam Putnam badly, and was being out spent by Putnam as well. In fact, it was Pence who tried to discourage Trump from getting in between DeSantis and Putnam, but Trump endorsed DeSantis anyways. After that endorsement, DeSantis turned his campaign around and months later defeated Putnam. In fact, DeSantis used Trump's endorsement as a key focus of his campaign.

Graham slams soft-on-crime Bragg for targeting Trump while New Yorkers 'lucky' not to get ‘mugged’

quote:

"They're making stuff up that they've never used against anybody because they hate Trump. That's what this is. They're brewing a legal cocktail, to try to come up with some bizarre theory," Graham said. "The law never used by anybody in New York, just because they hate Trump. You know why they're doing this? Because they're afraid of Trump. That's why they're doing it."

Pure desperation. Donald Trump may be indicted (I doubt it), and if so, he'll beat this, but he will not be arrested.

Feast on this, gentlemen

It’s going to get crazier, I better up my Xanax script & buckle up.
