Trump has just announced on Truth Social he is about to be indicted & arraigned on Tuesday, and for his followers to mass in protest.

Trump says he expects to be arrested on Tuesday in Manhattan DA case

I'm not posting the batcrap crazy all caps tweet. Trump said he found this out through "illegal leaks".

For his part, Alvin Bragg is refusing to comment and has issued no formal statements. Take this with whatever salt grains you need.

Yep. It'll be interesting what kind of response he gets. People are now realizing they can do hard time.

That's what happened with Operation Rescue, the anti-abortion folks that took over my hometown back in the eighties. Back then blocking abortion clinics was a misdemeanor, they'd go to jail, make bail and be back the next day.

But then Congress made blocking clinics a felony, with jail sentences and big fines, and suddenly they weren't called by God anymore. Not when there was real teeth in the law. Not when a felony on their rap sheet could keep them from employment.

It's why Trump's calling it an "Arrest" and not a "Arraignment." It sells better to his social media shock troops.

Delicate negotiations underway over potential Trump arrest next week
New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office is engaged in delicate negotiations with the Secret Service over how to handle the potential arrest of former President Donald Trump next week on charges that he made an illegal payoff to a porn star to keep her silent about an alleged sexual affair, according to a source familiar with the talks.
Although the president’s lawyers had been informed that an indictment could come as early as Tuesday, charges are more likely to be filed later in the week, the source said. Prosecutors still want to put one more witness before the grand jury before wrapping up the case.
The chief question at the moment is how to work out procedures for an extraordinary and unprecedented scenario: how to arrest, fingerprint and — per standard procedure — handcuff a defendant who happens to be a former president and is protected by a group of Secret Service agents.

Unless there’s a sealed indictment, nothing here is set in stone since the grand jury is still meeting and on Monday. The person who leaked this is Trump. Which is what he does.

Kevin McCarthy and MAGA Republicans rally around Trump ahead of possible indictment

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and several MAGA Republicans rallied around Donald Trump on Saturday ahead of the former president's possible indictment by a Manhattan grand jury.

Trump, in posts to his social media platform Truth Social, predicted that he would be arrested Tuesday and called on supporters to protest, citing "illegal leaks." Hours later, a spokesperson for Trump clarified in a statement that the post was shared without any notification of an indictment beyond media reports by NBC News and other news outlets.

TFG is claiming he’s about be charge but the source is TFG himself, not exactly a reliable source.

Look to him to use his announcement to raise money for his defense and no doubt a bunch of his supporters will donate their hard earned money to the grifter. The one question they’ll never ask themselves or TFG is “Why does a billionaire need donations for his legal defense?”

I’ll wait until the prosecutor announce that there is an arrest warrant on the TFG. When it happens and TFG is arrested I hope they do a perp walk on him.

I believe if he isn't about to be charged he did it as a hail mary pass.
Hoping his supporters would rise up and at least start rumblings of violence and protest.
Which is 99pct unlikely. Look at the January 6 protest. It was advertised for weeks and only about 10,000 people showed up. Of which maybe 2,000 were there with violent intentions.
I believe in his mind Trump believes there are millions of Americans willing to go to the mat for him. When in reality there are very few.
Which in conclusion leads me to believe the lack of reaction from trumpers will backfire and make it more likely he is charged.

I know there are quite a few that STILL are willing to go to the mat for him. But how many?

I said it earlier - all those people on the right were willing to lay siege to a city over 'saving babies' when all they got was a slap on the wrist. But when lawmakers passed a law saying it was a felony with big fines and jail time, they weren't so willing to save babies.

Could be same with Trump. But you're the one defending the people that did it. You're the one that says most of them shouldn't be charged. it's funny how you've changed your number from 'maybe 500' since over a thousand have been charged.

Elon Musk sends ominous warning if Donald Trump is arrested: 'He'll win by a landslide'

The news of Donald Trump's possible arrest next week has the potential to turn into one of the biggest political disasters in the last decade, that is also counting his rise to power in 2016.

Many might thing he is finished because he lost the 2020 election but all his supporters are still there and they will try to get him reelected next year. That is unless he gets arrested and thrown in jail, of course. Arresting Donald Trump just a year before the election cycle with no strong case to put him in jail for good is one of the dumbest things the current administration can do. Elon Musk is well aware of this and he already made an aminous prediction about it.

I used the number 2000 to be generous. I believe the number charged with what would be considered a violent crime to be under 500.
But, in Trump's mind I think he believes thar millions of people are ready to go to mat for him.

No, they've charged over 1,000. But go ahead, make up whatever number makes you feel good, it's a fantasy of yours anyway.

I was sure my source was other than him, but maybe not now that I look into it.

He wont spend a day in jail if convicted of hush money for several reasons having to do with the type of crime, it is his first (unimaginable that it would be his first, no human in a democratic society has committed more crimes than him) so I sure do hope GA can indict but as I predicted, the GOP wont allow that there, they will fire Fani before she does or after, then replace her with someone who will withdraw the indictment. Want to be wrong but my thing is predict cons will do the worst thing imaginable, which is why my predictions on this board are about 93% correct.

When you think about the number of crimes people think he has committed. To be charged with paying hush money in an illegal manner after 4 years of investigation doesn't seem that harsh.

It doesn't matter to you, since you don't think he should have to pay for any of his crimes.

Personally, I think he should have bail denied, so he couldn't be fomenting any more violent revolution.

No I am just being realistic. He will never spend a day in jail.
As for having bail denied, change the name to Donald Jones a first offense for paying off a hooker on an illegal manner.
The fact is some people just get l away with it.
Back to bail denied. A former president and his secret service detail. Shows that I am not defending Trump but, you are out of touch with the real world.

No, you’re just defending Trump. We’ve put Congressmen, Governors and Senators in prison. He needs to go so that no other President will try this again.
