Nope, Don't Care

 

Andrew Mitrovica doesn't care, and neither do we:

This fine moment. This stunning moment. This historic moment has been a long and aching time coming.

A New York grand jury made up of ordinary, wise Americans has taken the extraordinary step of voting to indict a thug president who has earned the shame and indignity that will forever shadow him.

Finally, a former United States president has been indicted. It’s the trifecta of ignominy: impeached, indicted and maybe incarcerated.  [snip]

I do not care how Donald Trump or his maniacal supporters respond to the glorious news of the grand jury’s indictment.

I do not care if dead-end cultists take up their leader’s predictable and demented call to “take to the streets” – with or without tiki torches or flag-draped monster trucks. If they do what they have been primed to do by a preening fascist, the MAGA stooges will be dealt with. They will be dealt with, just as the thousands of rampaging insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, intent on overturning a presidential election, have faced the consequences of their pernicious actions.

I do not care how Trump will leverage the indictment for his sick, political advantage today or tomorrow.

I do not care whether Trump’s support among swing, “independent” voters ticks up or not in light of the indictment.

I do not care how Trump’s blind, obnoxious sycophants in Congress will try to smear and discredit Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and dismiss the indictment as a politically motivated “witch hunt”.

I do not care about the fretting naysayers who worry that the still mysterious charges may be difficult to prove or that Trump will emerge as a martyr – strengthened and an even more formidable political force.

I do not care...

Mitrovica goes on to tell us the many ways he celebrates the news of the Malignant Loser's (first) indictment.  It's a happy, buoyant read about a landmark time for American democracy and justice.

"Trump Bopz"

 

SNL' s cold open last night featured James Austin Johnson's Malignant Loser using his indictment in his ongoing enterprise of fleecing his MAGA sheep, this time by promoting his "album," "Trump Bopz."  Hilarious.

More Than 30 Counts In Trump Indictment?

CNN:

Donald Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in an indictment from a Manhattan grand jury, according to two sources familiar with the case – the first time in American history that a current or former president has faced criminal charges.

Trump is expected to appear in court on Tuesday.

The indictment has been filed under seal and will be announced in the coming days. The charges are not publicly known at this time.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has been investigating the former president in connection with his alleged role in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels that dates to the 2016 presidential election. Grand jury proceedings are secret, but a source familiar with the case told CNN that a witness gave about 30 minutes of testimony before it voted to indict Trump...  (our emphasis)

It's being reported that the indictment won't be unsealed today, so we won't necessarily know what are the specific counts.  But, for example, depending on whether falsifying business records (one likely charge) is committed in the second degree or first degree (the former is a misdemeanor, the latter a felony), criminal felony charges are very much in play for the Malignant Loser -- and that's only one possible area of business fraud, not to mention campaign financing violations.

More off and on today.

BREAKING: New York Grand Jury Indicts Trump

 

News broke this afternoon that the disgraced former President and habitual criminal Donald Trump has been indicted by the grand jury convened by the Manhattan District Attorney, sources have told CNN:

"The Manhattan district attorney’s office has been investigating the former president in connection with his alleged role in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels that dates to the 2016 presidential election.

The decision is sure to send shockwaves across the country, pushing the American political system – which has never seen one of its ex-leaders confronted with criminal charges, let alone while running again for president – into uncharted waters."

The Malignant Loser predicted that he would be indicted last week, and held a rally in Waco, TX, in which he blasted Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg as he has done on his social media account.

No details as to the specific charges, nor the arrangements for the Malignant Loser to appear in court. Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina confirms that his client has been notified of the indictment, according to the AP.

This is a good day for the rule of law in America.

BONUS:   Just yesterday, the Malignant Loser praised the same Grand Jury, perhaps thinking he could schmooze his way out of an indictment:

 LOL.
