Steve Herman#NYC grand jury reportedly has indicted former President Trump in hush money case. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/03/30/nyregion/trump-indictment-news/the-unprecedented-case-against-trump-will-have-wide-ranging-implications?smid=url-share
A lawyer for Trump says he's been told of the indictment.

Adam Schiff on Twitter
“The indictment of a former president is unprecedented. But so too is the unlawful conduct in which Trump has been engaged. A nation of laws must hold the rich and powerful accountable, even when they hold high office. Especially when they do. To do otherwise is not democracy.”
“This is not an indictment of a crime—there was no crime—instead, this news is the indictment of a failed nation. President Trump is promising to peacefully end the war in Ukraine, dismantle the deep state, and save our country by putting America first. … He will be re-elected in the greatest landslide in American history, and together we will all Make America Great Again.” -- Taylor Budowich, CEO of Make America Great Again
“I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden. The American people realize exactly what the Radical Left Democrats are doing here.” - excerpt of Donald Trump statement
JustinFox News hosts and other conservative commentators, after Trump’s indictment, are calling for protests and predicting “unrest.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2023/03/30/trump-indict-fox-tucker/

Mike Czerski@w7voa That does make sense... Don't think the AG would have gone to a grand jury with just the hush money thing, which at most is a misdemeanour.
METADESTROYER !! (He/Him)@w7voa isnt this the same guy who was scared of trump? shill
Sheila DeBonis@w7voa They are going to jinx it. Someone please stop broadcasting Fox News.
James M.@w7voa they realize that if 45 goes down, they're next. They're in survival mode.
sandywb14@w7voa When is he being arrested? 👀
Pedro Marques@Sandywb Tuesday. Fingerprinted, mugshot, probably cuffed and perp walked into the courthouse... the whole enchilada.
@iPedro That would be satisfying, but I’m not confident we will see it.
@Sandywb the mugshot will be public record by law so it will become available, likely the same day. The perp walk and cuffs are policy for any criminal indictment but they might waive it as a matter of curtailing some of the circus.
🇺🇦🌻@rogue_corq🌻🇺🇦@w7voa They really are all out of fresh ideas, aren't they?
Beertrix@w7voa now just remind what the name is for inciting riots?
Nicole ParsonsHow many MAGA supporters are willing to spend between 2 to 10 years in jail for a petty grifter like Trump?
How many are willing to be paid by Republican billionaire donors to go to jail for a second doomed coup attempt?
Koch. Murdoch. Griffin. Uihlein. Schwarzman. Ellison. Thiel. Yass. Mercer. Musk. Hendricks. Fancelli. Lauder. Wynn. DeVos. Marcus. Singer. Schwab. Buckley. Tim Dunn. Farris Wilks. Barre Seid. Bradley. Scaife. Mellon. SBF. Kelcy Warren.
@w7voa I mean, we all know that only a coward would need to incite others to act on their behalf?
@w7voa But that would make Donald Trump a coward? And surely a man like Donald Trump who served in the American armed forces could never be a coward?
@w7voa Apparently I was wrong! Donald Trump had a “bone spur” which excused him from the duty to serve his country?
Jono@w7voa , what a surprise! The Trump victim cult would defend him eating babies.
Kenxo 🙉🐺🐱@w7voa here we go again. Faux news spitting what they do best.
Jeff C. 🇺🇦🇬🇱@w7voa “predicting” unrest.
That’s sort of like how I “predict” that I’ll gain weight after buying cookies and milk at the store.
Holly 🚀⚜️@w7voa gotta make a point to grab one, thanks for the heads up!
Mike@w7voa And he eventually will be the first ex-president to be indicted multiple times before it's all said and done.
Lloyd Lemons@w7voa Been waiting for this for a long time. I hope it has teeth in it.
Tafkak@w7voa will be interesting to see how they spin this pro-Trump and bad for Biden
Eeeee Woooo@w7voa he’s kinda looking like Lindsey Graham
Argot_Robbie@w7voa Isn't this topic best left out of the New York Times, seeing as it's far outside their core competency as a journal of email server configuration and security protocols?
It feels like Model Railroading covering the NCAA tournament.
Thomas H Jones II@w7voa Yet, if all the things he could be indicted for, it wasn't to do with all his criming while POTUS. Hopefully, the indictment actually leads to prosecution and conviction.
Stefan Große@w7voa lock him up!
Ω 🌍 Gus Posey@w7voa I wonder who you voted for in 2016...
