That ain’t hard to do. Trump supporters are all idiots.
Before we start rejoicing, let’s see what actually happens. Is Trump going to actually get arrested and put in jail? We haven’t even seen him in handcuffs yet.
Unless he does something REALLY stupid, he's never going to jail. he'll be on house arrest.
Like I always said the New York thing as serious, but the shit with the federal government and Georgia that is extremely serious
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
B. Suppressing the Doorman’s Story
10. A few months later, in or about October or November 2015, the AMI CEO learned that a former Trump Tower doorman (the “Doorman”) was trying to sell information regarding a child that the Defendant had allegedly fathered out of wedlock. At the AMI CEO’s
direction, AMI negotiated and signed an agreement to pay the Doorman $30,000 to acquire exclusive rights to the story. AMI falsely characterized this payment in AMI’s books and records, including in its general ledger. AMI purchased the information from the Doorman without fully investigating his claims, but the AMI CEO directed that the deal take place because of his agreement with the Defendant and Lawyer A. 11. When AMI later concluded that the story was not true, the AMI CEO wanted to release the Doorman from the agreement. However, Lawyer A instructed the AMI CEO not to release the Doorman until after the presidential election, and the AMI CEO complied with that instruction because of his agreement with the Defendant and Lawyer A.
C. Suppressing Woman 1’s Account
12. About five months before the presidential election, in or about June 2016, the editor-in-chief of the National Enquirer and AMI’s Chief Content Officer (the “AMI Editor-in Chief”) contacted Lawyer A about a woman (“Woman 1”) who alleged she had a sexual relationship with the Defendant while he was married. The AMI Editor-in-Chief updated Lawyer A regularly about the matter over text message and by telephone. The Defendant did not want this information to become public because he was concerned about the effect it could have on his candidacy. Thereafter, the Defendant, the AMI CEO, and Lawyer A had a series of discussions about who should pay off Woman 1 to secure her silence.
13. AMI ultimately paid $150,000 to Woman 1 in exchange for her agreement not to speak out about the alleged sexual relationship, as well as for two magazine cover features of Woman 1 and a series of articles that would be published under her byline. AMI falsely characterized this payment in AMI’s books and records, including in its general ledger. The AMI CEO agreed to the deal after discussing it with both the Defendant and Lawyer A, and on the understanding from Lawyer A that the Defendant or the Trump Organization would reimburse AMI.
14. In a conversation captured in an audio recording in approximately September 2016 concerning Woman 1’s account, the Defendant and Lawyer A discussed how to obtain the rights to Woman 1’s account from AMI and how to reimburse AMI for its payment. Lawyer A told the Defendant he would open up a company for the transfer of Woman 1’s account and other information, and stated that he had spoken to the Chief Financial Officer for the Trump Organization (the “TO CFO”) about “how to set the whole thing up.” The Defendant asked, “So what do we got to pay for this? One fifty?” and suggested paying by cash. When Lawyer A disagreed, the Defendant then mentioned payment by check. After the conversation, Lawyer A created a shell company called Resolution Consultants, LLC on or about September 30, 2016.
15. Less than two months before the election, on or about September 30, 2016, the AMI CEO signed an agreement in which AMI agreed to transfer its rights to Woman 1’s account to Lawyer A’s shell company for $125,000. However, after the assignment agreement was signed but before the reimbursement took place, the AMI CEO consulted with AMI’s general counsel and then told Lawyer A that the deal to transfer the rights to Lawyer A’s shell company was off.
I was hoping someone would do this.

Not even house arrest
To my recollection the only person I recall being under house arrest (and I stand to be corrected) was Dominique Strauss-Kahn in 2011 (his bond was $5,000,000 and cash bail was $1,000,000) when he was charged with Sexual assault.
Donald Trump's highest charge is an E Felony, in addition, this is his first Criminal Court arrest. Under these circumstances the DA's office would not request bail, and the judge would not require bail either.
I wanted to find the actual legislation, but:
In 2019, New York lawmakers passed legislation that eliminated the use of cash bail for most misdemeanors and some nonviolent felony charges, in an overdue recognition that a person’s wealth should not determine their liberty.
Based on this the judge would not have set bail.
Regardless of that, Trump isn’t going anywhere especially with the Secret Service around him so he is not leaving the United States anytime soon.
Well, that's true, but the question was about "house arrest."
Donald Trump has something over Miss Graham and it’s more than his sexual preference because everybody and their mama knows he’s squishy…..there’s something else going on here.
This fucker is even spray-tanning himself and wearing his hair like Trump. What kinda Single White Female shit is he on??
I'm waiting to see if he is going to starts snitching on the GOP(the reason they are so worried) or cash out his donation money fund and just vanish. As much as I want 45 to wear that orange jumpsuit I know they will deal his way out of it
'The View' clash ignites as Sunny and Alyssa spar over Trump indictment
Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin fight on 'The View' over Donald Trump's indictment.
The View clash ignites as Sunny shuts Alyssa down over Trump indictment: 'I'll tell you why you're wrong'
Sunny Hostin challenged the former Trump associate's legal perspective and Alyssa Farah Griffin rolled her eyes during the debate.
By Joey NolfiApril 05, 2023 at 12:23 PM EDT
Sunny Hostin shut down conservative cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin after the former Donald Trump associate inadvertently challenged her legal perspective Wednesday on The View.
During an impassioned Hot Topics discussion about the former president's indictment on 34 felony charges related to alleged hush money reportedly paid to porn actress Stormy Daniels, Griffin — who previously worked under the Trump administration's communications team — shot down the notion that Trump would go to jail over the ordeal.
"Yesterday was a bad day for Donald Trump, the first indicted former president. I want to see this guy held accountable, [but] this case is not taking Donald Trump down," Griffin said, while Hostin, an attorney who holds a law degree from Notre Dame, quickly asked, "How do you know that?"
After Griffin stated that "there was no conspiracy charge," Hostin jumped in by noting that it "was a hard charge to prove." Griffin continued, however.

"The felony charges, the max sentence is four years, but this is a first-time offender, it's a non-violent crime, it's a Class E felony, every legal expert I've talked to is [saying this is] most likely a fine and probation — if he's even convicted," she said.
Without missing a beat, Hostin pointed to herself and firmly stated, "I'll tell you why you're wrong: this legal expert."
The View set fell silent as a lone audience member could be heard yelling "oop!" after Hostin made the assertion.
"I'll tell you why you're wrong. Prosecutors are not only in the business of prosecuting crimes, we're in the business of sending out a message," Hostin elaborated. "If you let the president of the United States be found guilty of one to 34 counts, even if they're misdemeanors, and he gets to go home scott-free, you're sending a message to the country. That's not going to happen."
Alyssa Farah Griffin rolls her eyes on 'The View.'

Griffin attempted to expand on her thought before moderator Whoopi Goldberg jumped in. Griffin tried to say something else, but rolled her eyes and trailed off after Goldberg didn't yield.
On Tuesday's episode, Griffin speculated on how her former boss was handling his legal battle.
"There's been a bunch of reporting out there that Trump is loving this," Griffin said. "I know him well enough to know that he's not loving this, he's spiraling, he's somebody who, despite his terrible actions, does think about legacy of how he's perceived. And now, his life, whether it's his obituary, is going to say he was indicted, the first American president to be. Right now, his team is freaking out over a potential gag order from the judge, which would prevent him from being able to speak about what happened. And that's what he wants, he wants to go out and frame this his own way and spin the public."
The View continues weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
