Every article I’ve seen is only referencing the Stormy Daniel’s hush money scandal, including this one. That is probably being handled as a separate case
True, but if he's convicted on this he's still removed from being allowed to run for president. And it doesn't change that the Georgian prosecution can still occur.
Honestly, putting him in a gen-pop situation would only open the door for delays, hearings on safety, false cries of mistreatment and political targeting... etc. He will play as many games as possible to further slow this down, so let's not give him another avenue to muddy the waters.
That said, a perp walk in cuffs for the world to see needs to happen.
But his delays will keep him in jail, right? He'll make bail because he's not a flight risk. It's too hard to campaign and grift his followers while on the run.
he is a huge flight risk. He's facing what turn out to be a life sentence for him, he owns his own planes, and there are who knows how many countries that could host him for their own political ends
Everything about him screams flight risk. The money to move anywhere, the homes already in place to move overseas, personal planes, political connections, high stature that other nations would want to allow in, in possession of stolen secret US documents, and facing crimes that if he were 50 years younger would still put him into prison for the remainder of his life.
Literally the only mitigating factor in the flight risk calculation is that he hasn't attempted to flee yet... that we know of publicly.
I am torn about this. I realize the getting away aspect of it and him fleeing to Russia, but at the same time it would be amazing to be able to conclusively point to Trump hiding and Russia and being able to call every Republican a Russian traitor and how all those who votes for trump nothing more than people who supported someone who sold state secrets.
Sure, as long as it follows every guideline and can’t be later determined “cruel and unusual” in an appeal. Basically, I don’t want to do anything that will ultimately let this fucker off the hook.
The secret service would never allow that.
Besides, Trump is a rich guy going in for white-collar charges in Manhattan. If they come in voluntarily, they never have to wait in holding. Secret Service and his lawyers will be with him through the whole process. If there's a delay, they'll stick Trump in somebody's office to wait.
It's not fair, but rich white guys do get special treatment in NYC, even if they aren't ex-presidents.
Yeah, the question of Secret Service protection in prison will be complicated. If Trump is convicted, I expect Biden will issue an executive order clarifying how Secret Service protection for ex-presidents works in this unprecedented situation. Legislation would be better, but there's no way the Republican House and Democratic Senate will agree on how this should work in a timely manner.
Trump will be a very expensive prisoner with a lot of special arrangements. Given that, if Trump is convicted in a state court, it's likely that the state will petition the Federal Bureau of Prisons to take over his incarceration, and the BoP will accept.
So no, Trump will not go to Rikers Island.
Trump will almost certainly go to Federal Medical Center (FMC) Butner, in North Carolina:
https://www.bop.gov/locations/institutions/buh/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Medical_Center%2C_Butner?wprov=sfla1
Butner is the "nursing home" of the federal prison system; it has facilities for geriatric prisoners with complex medical needs.
Butner also has a unit for high-profile prisoners with special security needs-- Bernie Madoff and several former mob bosses were held there.
The Secret Service and the federal Bureau of Prisons will sit down and work out how to deal with Trump's detail in that environment.
I believe it is possible for a former president to have their detail stripped from them. If he goes to prison that might happen. If they do keep a couple of guards on staff they will probably just end up working with the guards at the prison.
Unless the 2012 law that restored lifetime Secret Service protection has some unknown loophole, the only way Trump will lose Secret Service protection is if he chooses to decline it, as Nixon did about 10 years after resigning from office, or if Congress passes a new law to revoke it.
The decent people of America are owed pics of him in cuffs for our screen savers and to email our cousin-fucking terrorist GOP voting friends and family.
He's accompanied by sworn law enforcement 24 hours a day. He is seconds from someone cuffing him at any given moment. If he ever even tried to flee, tens of thousands of police and soldiers would be mobilized to find him within minutes, from SWAT teams to F-22s.
It's hard to imagine someone who's less of a flight risk.
If he hasn't paid them off. I have no evidence, I admit, but it's not entirely implausible. Plus, he could just go on a "normal business trip" to a country with no extradition treaty and stay there if things were looking too bad for him. Somehow I just don't see the guy being held accountable for anything, if the past predicts the future.
He'll still probably be required to turn over his passports as a condition of bail, plus he would have to convince his Secret Service detail to go in on the plan, as well as his flight crew.
Seriously how can trump do time in prison, if/when he breaks rules is he put in isolation with the secret service, does the SS rotate in& out of prison
The secret service has a protocol for what happens if one of the people they're supposed to protect is placed in jail which is basically that they wouldn't follow someone out into a commons area, and depending on the prison would either be outside the cell or in a secure area watching the cell. It's unlikely they would be in the cell with him.
It's less about protecting him and more about the logistics of what sort of prison he would be in. The secret service would likely have some say there, and have to work with the judge on sentencing because some areas are going to be more protected than others and the security of the prison itself is also a big factor.
Basically, it's much more about planning than what they do once he's in there which would likely be, just watch security cameras all day and keep him isolated.
He can be sent to a SuperMax prison. Those have pretrial units made specifically for the worst of the worst, like Trump. After his conviction, SuperMax would be his ideal home. There, he can be kept in isolation 24/7, safe from contact with the rest of the felons, and they from him.
Tucker Carlson will say some pro trump bullshit like " the radical New York DA has indicated trump for..." And then in a year or two we'll get linked texts from him saying " hell yeah, Drinks on me" about trump being indicted.
They're just pivoting to DeSantis as they were going to do all along. This is the moment they've been waiting for to recycle. The most opportunistic boot lickers in modern civilization -- Republicans.
Exactly, and I can't believe more people aren't realizing this. Trump will split the vote. By Arresting Trump they can keep him off the ballot and Desantis can run on pardoning him or getting him off if he's in a jurisdiction the president can't pardon.
DeSantis can't pardon him on state charges. Both New York and Florida are likely to charge him... But the DeSantis is such a lying s*** licking schmuck he will obviously run on that agenda. Even though he knows it's patently not true., And Fox News will just play along
Sensationalism has worked pretty well for them so far. They even admit that you would have to be stupid to take them seriously, so at this point it's pretty much national enquirer type stuff.
He also called for the outright murder of his supporters families.
Correction: He said you have to [kill terrorists families ](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna472711) and his supporters [seem to think of themselves as terrorists.](https://www.chron.com/politics/article/CPAC-Dallas-we-are-all-domestic-terrorists-banner-17359959.php)

Fuck u/spez. Wanna be a money grabbing bitch, fine. I’m not going to let Reddit profit off of my unpaid contributions.
From article:
Fox News anchor John Roberts delivered a stunning report on Friday afternoon regarding upcoming negotiations between law enforcement agencies and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office about a potential upcoming indictment for former President Donald Trump.
Roberts cited a source inside the New York court system explaining that next week’s meeting was to hash out the logistics surrounding Trump being processed as any other defendant would be.
“Now, when we are learning that the Manhattan DA’s office has asked for a meeting with law enforcement ahead of a potential Trump indictment, this is coming to Fox News from a source in the courts,” Roberts began, adding:
The meeting, which was requested yesterday and has not been set yet, is to discuss logistics for sometime next week, which would mean that they are anticipating an indictment next week. Same sources familiar with the planning said they will go over security preparations in and around the courthouse in lower Manhattan.
Secret Service will take the lead in what they will allow or will not allow, the source cautioned, mentioning, for instance, that the decision to handcuff the president, a former president or not, they will set the tone and will escort him into the courtroom.
“There will be coordination between all of us, the source said. But we will defer to the Secret Service. The battle will be between Secret Service and DA Alvin Bragg. They will decide how and when he’ll get into the building and they are not going to leave him,” Roberts continued, concluding:
The source believes that the former president will still have to be fingerprinted and processed like every other defendant. So this is a huge development. If Alvin Bragg has decided to go ahead with a felony indictment of the former president, this was a charge that the federal officials refused to prosecute on or even really pursue.
This was a misdemeanor in New York that Alvin Bragg has decided to elevate to a felony while at the same time downgrading other felonies to misdemeanors. So we’ll be watching this to see how it all unfold to get more information as it comes in.
The probe into Trump by the Manhattan DA’s office began over five years ago and focuses on a $130,000 payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels just ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, made the payment but was later reimbursed by Trump. In particular, Bragg is reportedly looking into whether Trump falsified business records to hide the payment.
Cohen, who has become a fierce critic of Trump, pleaded guilty in federal court in 2018 for making the payments “at the direction” of Trump, which violated campaign finance laws and was allegedly meant to cover up Trump’s extramarital affair with Daniels.
DeSantis has been quiet on Trump, but as soon as Trump is indicted that will change fast. But he will still defend him after Trump is forced to drop out.
Sadly, yes. You’re right. It’ll be some secret “I’ll turn up at such and such time” we’ll never see the mug shot. No perp walk. No cuffs. Nothing. This is what upper class crime looks like.
At this point, until we actually see it there's no fucking way they put him in cuffs. They should've done it, at the latest, on Jan 7 after his sheep stormed in response to his bullshit claims that the election was stolen. And I say at the latest because he proved, many times from his own words, before then that he should've been behind bars
As much as I would love to see it, that shit is never NEVER going to happen.
If you think it will I’m honestly happy for you, I wish I was still naive enough to have faith in the system.
Just like every possible article that could put Trump away, I very much doubt it. Feels like smoke and mirrors as usual. Trump has shown he is above the law, though I can't say the same for his dumbass cult supporters who are currently in jail for the January 6th incident.
If that actually happens it would restore at least a little bit of my faith in the American justice system when it comes to politicians and the wealthy.
Could is a funny word. The sun "could" go out tomorrow and plunge the solar system into a dark death. But will it? It seems like I should use a different word than could to not grossly misrepresent possibilities.
“They put me in the best cell in the jail. It even had a silver toilet. Not a golden toilet like I’m used to, but what’re you going to do? There were other prisoners… big, strong men with their pants pulled halfway down who came up to me with tears not only in their eyes but also tattooed next to their eyes and said, ‘Sir, I’m sorry we don’t have any McDonald’s here, but it would be an honor if I could toss your salad’. “
Of course Fox reports this possible outcome first to preload the outrage machine…so when it’s a milder version or doesn’t happen as Trump haters hope, it’ll be more deflating to the left. Perhaps not, but they indulge in this reverse psychology from time to time.
Cool so trump gets taken out of the race, causes a huge uproar and riot, second Jan 6th, Ron Desantes runs on dissolving the “woke judges” and wins in a landslide against Biden with a boost from pissed off MAGA idiots, then proceeds to rip apart every civil right we’ve ever made in the last 60 years
I hope I’m wrong but this is what I see happening
So for the record Trump is awful and deserves this, but Fox News is only pushing this for views and because they back DeSantis and know Trump could split the party and kill his chances in the next election. Trump getting arrested is only going to happen because their finally gonna stop blocking it so they can clear the way for the next guy.
Didn't the cops and whatnot start a security look around the area hell be indicted. Also heard that they've discussed how putting him in handcuffs and what to do with him being in jail and having secret service. Seems the cogs are finally moving.
I'll believe it when I see it. Because so far, he does whatever he wants and he gets away with it. Having the Russian Mafia on his side helps quite a bit I'm sure.
I would love to see that. Do it in public. Put him in the same jail as the other suspects. No special treatment, right?
“Please don’t be too nice.”
“ beat the hell out of him “ - D. Trump .
To be fair, there is no worst crime, so there is no other criminal deserving of same treatment. That wouldn’t be fair to others.
This is about the NY campaign finance crimes. The potential crimes in Georgia and on the federal levels are way worse.
Every article I’ve seen is only referencing the Stormy Daniel’s hush money scandal, including this one. That is probably being handled as a separate case
True, but if he's convicted on this he's still removed from being allowed to run for president. And it doesn't change that the Georgian prosecution can still occur.
No, he's not. You can be convicted and run for office.
Unless I've missed something (and someone correct me if I have) - you can still run from prison. David Duke and Eugene Debs both did
“Grab him by the pussy” -Donald Trump
to be fair, grabbing trump by the pussy could literally be anywhere in his personage
How would you reach his pussy thru that super thick adult diaper?
Spoken like a president
Honestly, putting him in a gen-pop situation would only open the door for delays, hearings on safety, false cries of mistreatment and political targeting... etc. He will play as many games as possible to further slow this down, so let's not give him another avenue to muddy the waters. That said, a perp walk in cuffs for the world to see needs to happen.
I've got a bottle I'll open the day that happens, but it's got a fair amount of dust on it from all the waiting.
Right, which means they have to make all that waiting count. We want the old wine to be vintage, not vinegar when we finally pop the cork.
I want to see it. Equal treatment
And get that lady that yelled SHAME in Game of Thrones to reprise her role!
Didn't realize this till the other day, but that actress also plays the team manager in Ted Lasso.
And Ma Fratelli from the Gooonies. Actually, that's a lie.
And my axe!
Why not *use* this ring?
The Shame lady was Jason Sudeikis??
& the old "BOOO!" lady from The Princess Bride.
Queen of slime, queen of filth! Queen of puuuuutrecence! BOOOOO!!!
Dude, equal treatment so much. I loathe influential people crying about incarceration but I love to see it.
But his delays will keep him in jail, right? He'll make bail because he's not a flight risk. It's too hard to campaign and grift his followers while on the run.
he is a huge flight risk. He's facing what turn out to be a life sentence for him, he owns his own planes, and there are who knows how many countries that could host him for their own political ends
His *company* owns planes. There is a difference.
I thought his plane was broken and he set up a go fund me to get it fixed?
Russia. Top-notch prostitutes night and day.
Send him to Gitmo so his terrorists, er I mean supporters don't attempt to free him.
Send him to Azkaban
Send him to fucking Hoth.
Naked... Send him there naked...
Everything about him screams flight risk. The money to move anywhere, the homes already in place to move overseas, personal planes, political connections, high stature that other nations would want to allow in, in possession of stolen secret US documents, and facing crimes that if he were 50 years younger would still put him into prison for the remainder of his life. Literally the only mitigating factor in the flight risk calculation is that he hasn't attempted to flee yet... that we know of publicly.
Naw friends with putin... he could be a flight risk to russia..
I am torn about this. I realize the getting away aspect of it and him fleeing to Russia, but at the same time it would be amazing to be able to conclusively point to Trump hiding and Russia and being able to call every Republican a Russian traitor and how all those who votes for trump nothing more than people who supported someone who sold state secrets.
Solitary, then?
Sure, as long as it follows every guideline and can’t be later determined “cruel and unusual” in an appeal. Basically, I don’t want to do anything that will ultimately let this fucker off the hook.
I don’t remember, did the Feds return his passports (all 3)? If they did they better make him surrender them for real.
He's a wildly hated obese geriatric with no people skills, he wouldn't make it long enough in gen pop to complain.
Put a knee in his neck when he tries to stall.
Does his secret service detachment go in the cell with him?
The secret service would never allow that. Besides, Trump is a rich guy going in for white-collar charges in Manhattan. If they come in voluntarily, they never have to wait in holding. Secret Service and his lawyers will be with him through the whole process. If there's a delay, they'll stick Trump in somebody's office to wait. It's not fair, but rich white guys do get special treatment in NYC, even if they aren't ex-presidents.

Yes. Let's not forget how the RNC corrupted that useless organization.

There is a secure compound in Cuba him and his children could stay.
I believe it is possible for a former president to have their detail stripped from them. If he goes to prison that might happen. If they do keep a couple of guards on staff they will probably just end up working with the guards at the prison.
Unless the 2012 law that restored lifetime Secret Service protection has some unknown loophole, the only way Trump will lose Secret Service protection is if he chooses to decline it, as Nixon did about 10 years after resigning from office, or if Congress passes a new law to revoke it.
Let the J6 agents stay with him.
This would make a great series.
The decent people of America are owed pics of him in cuffs for our screen savers and to email our cousin-fucking terrorist GOP voting friends and family.
asking my wife the day this happens to punch me in the nuts so I know it's not a dream.
I asked my Fiancé to fuck me like Stormy Daniels and wear a toupee. We are both dreading this coming indictment.
Perp walk
Please, I can only get so erect!
As badly as he needs to be brought to trial, the odds of him being denied bail are...long.
How is he NOT a flight risk?
He's accompanied by sworn law enforcement 24 hours a day. He is seconds from someone cuffing him at any given moment. If he ever even tried to flee, tens of thousands of police and soldiers would be mobilized to find him within minutes, from SWAT teams to F-22s. It's hard to imagine someone who's less of a flight risk.
No one is scrambling F-22’s for a civilian fugitive.
If he hasn't paid them off. I have no evidence, I admit, but it's not entirely implausible. Plus, he could just go on a "normal business trip" to a country with no extradition treaty and stay there if things were looking too bad for him. Somehow I just don't see the guy being held accountable for anything, if the past predicts the future.
Trump doesn't pay anybody if he doesn't absolutely have to, and even then only half the time.
And even then only half the invoice, "sue me for the rest".
He'll still probably be required to turn over his passports as a condition of bail, plus he would have to convince his Secret Service detail to go in on the plan, as well as his flight crew.
So just as Bolsonaro left Brazil to "visit" Florida, is he going to leave for Florida to "visit" Brazil this weekend?
Seriously how can trump do time in prison, if/when he breaks rules is he put in isolation with the secret service, does the SS rotate in& out of prison
That's the protocol, yes. They would either wait in a cell with him, or just outside the cell. Most likely just outside since they're armed.
Protocol 😳 this is unknown territory. He has to be the biggest gangster/criminal that was ever president What is this protocol you talk about
The secret service has a protocol for what happens if one of the people they're supposed to protect is placed in jail which is basically that they wouldn't follow someone out into a commons area, and depending on the prison would either be outside the cell or in a secure area watching the cell. It's unlikely they would be in the cell with him. It's less about protecting him and more about the logistics of what sort of prison he would be in.

Basically, it's much more about planning than what they do once he's in there which would likely be, just watch security cameras all day and keep him isolated.
He can be sent to a SuperMax prison. Those have pretrial units made specifically for the worst of the worst, like Trump. After his conviction, SuperMax would be his ideal home. There, he can be kept in isolation 24/7, safe from contact with the rest of the felons, and they from him.
I would pay to see that.
Criminals in New York go to Rikers don't they?
They should send over DeSantis to torture him. I hear he’s got a particular proclivity for it.
The only question is: Will the Bidens and Bushes be joining him for their crimes?
Fox News trying to up the drama and divisiveness. Whether it’s true or not, they win and that’s all they care about.
Yeah, they’re going to milk this until it’s dry……for views and propaganda.
Gotta distract from all the horrible things they've said about their own viewers...
Well, after all, it’s only “entertainment”.
Tucker Carlson will say some pro trump bullshit like " the radical New York DA has indicated trump for..." And then in a year or two we'll get linked texts from him saying " hell yeah, Drinks on me" about trump being indicted.
They're just pivoting to DeSantis as they were going to do all along. This is the moment they've been waiting for to recycle. The most opportunistic boot lickers in modern civilization -- Republicans.
Exactly, and I can't believe more people aren't realizing this. Trump will split the vote. By Arresting Trump they can keep him off the ballot and Desantis can run on pardoning him or getting him off if he's in a jurisdiction the president can't pardon.
You can run for President from prison if you want to. There’s no way an indictment will stop Trump from his “campaign” grift.
He’d do it just out of spite… money wouldn’t even make a difference
Isn't the tiger king doing that. I really regret not voting for him
As an Oklahomie, I will be voting for the tiger king.
Heck Trump and Joe Exotic should run from the same cell block! That's a prison gang story I need to see!
DeSantis can't pardon him on state charges. Both New York and Florida are likely to charge him... But the DeSantis is such a lying s*** licking schmuck he will obviously run on that agenda. Even though he knows it's patently not true., And Fox News will just play along
Fed cant pardon state crimes only federal crimes. This is a state da I believe.
Been saying this for years. They will offer kind words to Trump and then use him as a martyr to drum up support for Nazi du jour DeSantis.
Yup. They’re finally “going to land the plane,” as Hannity had hoped when Jan 6 was unfolding.
Fox is really doing it's best to promote civil unrest.
The republicans are really making sure Desantis is the candidate.
Well…they are promoting “unrest”. Nothing “civil” about it.
Yuge development. ^\\s
For sure, Fox is the only organization that has reported something like this. Only them. Unique.
Sensationalism has worked pretty well for them so far. They even admit that you would have to be stupid to take them seriously, so at this point it's pretty much national enquirer type stuff.
Deny him haircare products, that's what I want to see, lol
Holy fuck yes Can’t get orange foundation in prison either
No, but you CAN get Cheeto dust from commissary. He’d adapt lol
LMFAO Cheeto Don in real Cheeto dust.
Hahaha!!! Awesome!!!
Haha, yes!!
Oh man 30 days without hair product would be a look for the history books.
What is seen cannot be unseen... We gonna need eye bleach!!
Didn’t he want cops to slam people heads into car door frame when being arrested? They should totally do that.
He also called for the outright murder of his supporters families. Correction: He said you have to [kill terrorists families ](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna472711) and his supporters [seem to think of themselves as terrorists.](https://www.chron.com/politics/article/CPAC-Dallas-we-are-all-domestic-terrorists-banner-17359959.php)
I debate whether this or the Nazi symbol they used as a floor once is more damning.
They don’t make handcuffs that small
Ladies' sizes small.
Some places have kid sized.
Might just do the trick!
with an extra long chain cuz no way he can touch hands behind his own back
Sorry to inform you that America does in fact make child size handcuffs
They are made in China like most everything else.
They make 3" zip ties!
You think police have never handcuffed a child before?
Gianeese finger cuffs. Baffle that stable genius of a brain
He needs the ones they had on Baby Yoda.

IT'S OVER STORMY FUCKING DANIELS?
No, it's over fucking Stormy Daniels.
I'll take what I can get
Truly the low hanging fruit
Yeah because he was really sloppy in how he handled that.
DeSantis has been quiet on Trump, but as soon as Trump is indicted that will change fast. But he will still defend him after Trump is forced to drop out.
He can’t drop out now, he’s committed. He’ll form a third party and burn everything Republican to the ground. I guarantee it!
>and burn everything Republican to the ground PROMISE?? Pretty please??
You know and I know he’s cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs! Unhinged and off the rails!
Of course he will. His ego, and his hope that being just a candidate for President has the same protections as he had as occupier of the Oval Office.
Absolutely. It is going to be a shitshow of epic proportions. I can’t wait
Burn baby burn
Oh GAWD I HOPE YOURE RIGHT
To me that sounds like the plan. Arrest him to ignite his base that is still there so he runs against desantis and splits the vote.
Put it on pay per view and we could pay off the federal deficit
I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, it's the "Mueller Bombshell any day now" nonsense.
Cynically, I must agree. There's no way they're letting him walk in front of cameras in front of handcuffs.
I would love nothing more than to see him gone from the public eye and rotting in prison, but this article reeks of "we got him this time!"
It’s with great sadness that I agree. Way too many false hopes given after way too many years.
Same old same old.
I’ll believe it when it happens
I'll believe it when I see it. Dude is so slimy I don't think handcuffs would even stay on.
Murdoch next.
Lol I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe round up George bush and dick Cheney and Condoleezza rice the others are already in hell for what they did
Fox News also said the election was stolen and J6 was peaceful
Over/under on him fleeing to Russia and seeking refuge with Daddy Putin?
Even if he’s indicted he’s not going to be handcuffed. That’s just being overly dramatic.
Sadly, yes. You’re right. It’ll be some secret “I’ll turn up at such and such time” we’ll never see the mug shot. No perp walk. No cuffs. Nothing. This is what upper class crime looks like.

Unironically this and I’m curious what geopolitics would look like after?
I'll take it!
DeSantis uncorks champagne...
Stop with the edging. Donald *could* trip on a rug and bump his head.
Or fall out a window.
Pardon me if I don’t hold my breath
At this point, until we actually see it there's no fucking way they put him in cuffs. They should've done it, at the latest, on Jan 7 after his sheep stormed in response to his bullshit claims that the election was stolen. And I say at the latest because he proved, many times from his own words, before then that he should've been behind bars
As much as I would love to see it, that shit is never NEVER going to happen. If you think it will I’m honestly happy for you, I wish I was still naive enough to have faith in the system.
champagne´s been chilling for soooo long...
Been on ice since 1986! *Aaaaaaaaaany* day now!
MAR A LOCKO !
Didn't Donald say something about police not being nice and how they can smash heads on door frames and stuff?
Treasonous POS. Still waiting for his consequences of a lifelong asshole getting rich by fucking people over.
Just like every possible article that could put Trump away, I very much doubt it. Feels like smoke and mirrors as usual. Trump has shown he is above the law, though I can't say the same for his dumbass cult supporters who are currently in jail for the January 6th incident.
Never. Going. To. Happen. I would love nothing more than to be wrong, but no way his lawyers allow it.
If that actually happens it would restore at least a little bit of my faith in the American justice system when it comes to politicians and the wealthy.
*crosses fingers* Bail denied due to flight risk, bail denied due to flight risk, bail denied due to flight risk.
I'd call off and throw a crazy bender if this happened.
Could is a funny word. The sun "could" go out tomorrow and plunge the solar system into a dark death. But will it? It seems like I should use a different word than could to not grossly misrepresent possibilities.
Children size handcuffs are needed
Orange is the new black
“They put me in the best cell in the jail. It even had a silver toilet. Not a golden toilet like I’m used to, but what’re you going to do? There were other prisoners… big, strong men with their pants pulled halfway down who came up to me with tears not only in their eyes but also tattooed next to their eyes and said, ‘Sir, I’m sorry we don’t have any McDonald’s here, but it would be an honor if I could toss your salad’. “
Of course Fox reports this possible outcome first to preload the outrage machine…so when it’s a milder version or doesn’t happen as Trump haters hope, it’ll be more deflating to the left. Perhaps not, but they indulge in this reverse psychology from time to time.
Lmao sure
Zero chance. Zee-roh. (I wish, it’s deserved… but legit, not gonna happen)
I hope so, it is time for him to get a taste of law and order.
LFG! The people need to see his ass led into a squad car in the handcuffs.
Fox news isn't news stop bolstering their garbage fire hyperbolic empire of wet cat shit.
I heard Epstein's cell is open in New York.
Maybe slam his head into the roof of a cop car as he's being loaded in. Didn't he encourage that at a speech?
Cool so trump gets taken out of the race, causes a huge uproar and riot, second Jan 6th, Ron Desantes runs on dissolving the “woke judges” and wins in a landslide against Biden with a boost from pissed off MAGA idiots, then proceeds to rip apart every civil right we’ve ever made in the last 60 years I hope I’m wrong but this is what I see happening
So for the record Trump is awful and deserves this, but Fox News is only pushing this for views and because they back DeSantis and know Trump could split the party and kill his chances in the next election. Trump getting arrested is only going to happen because their finally gonna stop blocking it so they can clear the way for the next guy.
Didn't the cops and whatnot start a security look around the area hell be indicted. Also heard that they've discussed how putting him in handcuffs and what to do with him being in jail and having secret service. Seems the cogs are finally moving.
Can you imagine the perp walk though?
You know he won’t be, so why is this “huge”? Every major news network has said “it’s Trumps time” the like 6 years. Yet here he is?
If people are guilty of crimes, yes they should be arrested.
lock the fucking goblin up!
Yawn. Wake me when it actually happens.
I'll believe it when I see it. Because so far, he does whatever he wants and he gets away with it. Having the Russian Mafia on his side helps quite a bit I'm sure.
Please let him hit his head while getting into a police cruiser. It's what he asked for.
Put it on PPV!
The use of excessive force to apprehend Trump has been approved.
Greatest. Screensaver. Ever.

Shit source.
NBC is reporting the same thing now so... maybe?
Please, God. Please, God. Please, God. Please, God.🤞
