Former President Donald Trump will surrender to face criminal charges if indicted by a Manhattan grand jury, his lawyer said Friday evening.
The lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, spoke on the heels of a report by WNBC that federal, state and local law enforcement agencies are preparing security arrangements for the possibility that Trump will be indicted as early as next week.
“Will follow normal procedures if it gets to that point,” Tacopina told CNBC when asked what Trump would do if that possibility becomes reality.
Trump is under investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office for his company recording as legal expenses a reimbursement to his former personal attorney Michael Cohen

There will be an accident or he will join the J6 prisoners who are guilty of nothing. This is worrisome.

The water is starting to bubble, and STILL we sit.
OTH: I don’t know what “we” can do. If we protest, we’ll join the others.
If we just sit back and watch, we continue to be frogs.

“Violating that law can result in a misdemeanor charge. But that can be raised to a felony if the misstatement is done to cover up another crime.”
Folks, remember God is still Sovereign, His ways are not our ways…
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.
8 It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. (Proverbs 3:5, ESV)
The Almighty God led Christopher Columbus to America [thanks to the God-fearing King and Queen of Spain].
Rest assured, He is not finished…
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9, ESV)

I pray that the American people seeing the constant persecution of the one chosen to represent them will rise up against their Marxist oppressors and drive them out by massive public pressure that not even the corrupt elections and propaganda media can overcome. Trump won and they know it.
We refuse to accept the grooming of our children. We refuse to accept their Godless ideology. We refuse to accept their satanic new world order.
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

And you know that the antifa and BLM rioters have been given a heads up of where and when President Trump will be arrested. They will be out in full force with masks covering their faces and draped in American flags and MAGA hats to make it look as if Trump supporters are the ones rioting and beating on the cops.

For 8 years the filthy corrupt evil have been attacking President Trump. From the highest corners of treasonous corruption to the lowest gutters without a scintilla of evidence and they produced nothing. They did the very same thing to Tom Delay. A lying corrupt democrat Texas County Attorney spent 100s of thousands of dollars getting a conviction over phony charges. Delay's conviction was overturn on appeal but by then his political career was in ruins. This is for the entire MAGA movement and in the end our American Republic. Pray.

The media’s response? They will sanctimoniously say this is justice in action proving that no one is above the law. They will be so thrilled I doubt they will be able to stand it. And all the while, Joe Biden and his wretched criminal family nods and smiles with confidence that they are untouchable.
Don’t expect many in the Republican Party to comment on it and if they do, it will likely be with minimal support at best. Democrats believe this finally will be the Coup de grâce. The deep state cabal behind the persecution of Trump and his family, friends and business associates is made up of democrat globalist elites who see him as an existential threat to their commitment to destroy the Republic. It is the founding principle “of the people, by the people, and for the people” that they cannot abide and they will do anything to take power from the people to put it securely and forever into the hands of the last people on earth who should have it.
I pray that this single act of betrayal of justice will be so repudiated by the good people of this country that it will be the biggest political blunder in the history of politics. Every sane and thoughtful American politician and member of the media should stand up against such an obvious political prosecution and let the crazy leftists own this.
Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”

I believe this will impact his chances of becoming president. Yes, he will continue his campaign and, no, he will not lose votes. In fact, I suspect he will gain votes from this indictment.

there will be matter of bail and it will be interesting to see how the prosecution handles that issue, using the logic of "does the punishment fit the crime?" and I take some solace in thinking of Psalm 27 and the power that God has to make difficult things less difficult and sometimes, victorious

This is prosecutorial persecution in a two tiered judicial system. They don't even pretend to be fair and unbiased.
That said, had Trump kept it in his pants, they wouldn't have this opportunity to prosecute him.

And if this goes ahead, just watch how the nearly defunct communist new network cameras will be right there to capture the handcuffing of a former president when his Mar a lago residence is raided at 3am. This is sickening. Will America finally revolt in disgust.

With this one act, democrats will confirm that they have, indeed, concluded their rolling coup d’etat. This is the pinnacle act in the many unlawful acts that gave this wretched party power. To arrest a former President on such a ridiculous charge that has already been adjudicated, is government hubris on steroids. Now why would you do this at this time? Of course the obvious, they want to take out their most fierce competition. It is more. They are making a statement. We can do anything we want to do under our corrupt DOJ and you have no recourse. If this stands and I believe it will, this is seriously the beginning of the end of the Republic.
Before the anti-Trumpers shout that is hyperbole, look around and you can find a myriad of democrat criminals enjoying life without a care in the world safe in the knowledge that they will never be held accountable for the crimes they have committed. This is nothing more than using the government to punish anyone they deem a threat. This is a bold statement by a tyrannical government. We have the power to arrest anyone. No one is beyond our reach.
I see that many Republicans have gone silent on this. Of course, they will say that nothing has happened and to comment would be premature. No. A comment should be forthcoming from every Republican leader and potential candidate. This act is not politics as usual. Preventing this unprecedented act should be of paramount importance. Crossing this Rubicon with the arrest of a former President on flimsy charges is a threat to any President or elected official in the future. There should be no quisling and weighing political costs. Anyone with a platform and we all know who they are should be standing up for justice, not this banana republic version that props up the criminals in the Biden administration. Merrick Garland could stop this in a New York minute. He knows this prosecution is without merit and politically motivated, but nothing matters more than destroying Donald Trump. How much more are we going to take from this illegitimate and lawless administration?

We have a law against "Malicious Prosecution" and the Manhattan DA has just stepped in a hot, steaming mess of his own making. If he doesn't face justice through our own legal system, he will certainly face THE Judge, who is higher than any on this earth.

For those who take the simplistic position that a payoff if evidence of guilt:
"The principal charge is expected to be a felony, “falsifying business records in the first degree,” which would be based on the claim that Trump was involved in falsifying records to conceal the payment to the porn “actress.” Meanwhile, Trump continues to deny that he had any liaison with the porn star at all, and certainly there are precedents for wealthy individuals and groups paying out sums to claimants even though they know the claims are false, just to get them to go away.
The fact that this one didn’t is, of course, directly related to the fact that Trump became president and challenged the hegemony of the Leftist elites. Trump has called this “hush money” prosecution a “Scam, Injustice, Mockery, and a Complete and Total Weaponization of Law Enforcement in order to affect a Presidential Election!” Well, yeah”
