But there is already some speculation among pundits that it contains a felony charge. In any case he will be put under arrest, there will be a booking and a mug shot, and a furious flurry of whining from Trump and his sycophantic cult disciples.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, lets recall some of the recent comments from Trump and others leading up to this day&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56557\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Can\u2019t Imagine the NYPD Defending the City If His Indictment Triggers Riots By His Followers<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cCAN YOU IMAGINE THE GREAT NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT, CORRECTLY REFERRED TO AS \u2018NEW YORK CITY\u2019S FINEST,\u2019 WHO, FOR THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME IN HISTORY, ENDORSED A PRESIDENT, ME, &#038; HONORED ME AS \u2018MAN OF THE YEAR,\u2019 HAVING TO DEFEND &#038; PROTECT THE \u2018DEFUNDERS\u2019 &#038; \u2018COP HATERS\u2019 OF THE RADICAL LEFT THAT WANT TO PUT THEIR GREATEST CHAMPION &#038; FRIEND IN PRISON FOR A CRIME THAT DOESN\u2019T EXIST\u2026ALL THE WHILE THE SOROS BACKED D.A. ALLOWS MURDERERS &#038; OTHER VIOLENT CRIMINALS TO FREELY ROAM THE SIDEWAKS OF N.Y.?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56560\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Hack Tucker Carlson Rants that Prosecuting Trump Would Forever End Democratic Elections<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cIf the Democratic Party is allowed to do this, allowed to crush the presidential front-runner, the main threat to their power, with a bogus criminal case, where does that leave us? We\u2019re done because that precedent will live forever and voters will never again determine the outcome of a presidential election. It\u2019s remarkable when you think about it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56585\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Warns of \u2018Death and Destruction\u2019 if He is Indicted for Crimes that He Actually Committed<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cWhat kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in history, and leading candidate (by far!) for the Republican Party nomination, with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed, &#038; also known that potential death &#038; destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country? Why &#038; who would do such a thing? Only a degenerate psychopath that truely (sic) hates the USA!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56599\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jon Stewart\u2019s Snarky Swipe at Nutty Notion that a Trump Indictment Would Make Him a Martyr<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nStewart (sarcastically): I think the law should always take into account someone\u2019s popularity. I mean, what\u2019s happened to our country? It\u2019s as though you can\u2019t even commit financial fraud anymore. You can\u2019t inflate the value of your property when you need a loan, and then deflate it with taxes. The next thing you know they\u2019re going to send YOU to jail instead of your lawyer, and your accountant, and your campaign manager, and everyone else around you. The idea that someone may face accountability, who\u2019s that rich and powerful, is outrageous, and this country shouldn\u2019t stand for it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And let&#8217;s not forget that just the day before this indictment, Trump posted <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/110106476277781338\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a> comment expressing his <em>&#8220;respect&#8221;<\/em> for the Grand Jury&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I HAVE GAINED SUCH RESPECT FOR THIS GRAND JURY, &#038; PERHAPS EVEN THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM AS A WHOLE.

PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump posted his response to the indictment (and a longer and lie-riddled rant <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/110114592721226234\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>) saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;These Thugs and Radical Left Monsters have just INDICATED <em>(sic)<\/em> the 45th President of the United States of America, and the leading Republican Candidate, by far, for the 2024 Nomination for President.

THE USA IS NOW A THIRD WORLD NATION, A NATION IN SERIOUS DECLINE. SO SAD!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump is very upset that he has been <em>&#8220;INDICATED&#8221;<\/em>? But he is right that <em>&#8220;THE LIKES OF [THIS] HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE.&#8221;<\/em> But that&#8217;s only because no president has ever been so flagrantly criminal before.
