The grand jury is going on hiatus but they decided to do this. New York Times:

A Manhattan grand jury voted to indict Donald J. Trump on Thursday for his role in paying hush money to a porn star, according to four people with knowledge of the matter, a historic development that will shake up the 2024 presidential race and forever mark him as the nation’s first former president to face criminal charges.

The felony indictment, filed under seal by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, will likely be announced in the coming days. By then, prosecutors working for the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, will have asked Mr. Trump to surrender and to face arraignment on charges that remain unknown for now.

Mr. Trump has for decades avoided criminal charges despite persistent scrutiny and repeated investigations, creating an aura of legal invincibility that the vote to indict now threatens to puncture.

His actions surrounding his 2020 electoral defeat are now the focus of a separate federal investigation, and a Georgia prosecutor is in the final stages of an investigation into Mr. Trump’s attempts to reverse the election results in that state.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

  1. This might make it easier for all those other cases to go forward. The dam is breached. The precedent is set. How about now, Merrick?

  2. So, doubters…what was that again about him never getting indicted? And do you REALLY think those are the last charges he’ll face? I foretold you so!

  3. The issue was NEVER whether or not he’d be indicted, but the FACT the process never met the criteria for Equal Justice Under Law. And it has now been backed up by the FACT these particular charges should have been brought years ago when Garland took over after Barr squelched the investigation. Every criminal would like to appoint his homey to be the fucking attorney General to kill investigations. Don’t really know how you’re patting yourself on the back. If he’d been held to account as individual #1 should have, then these other crimes may not have occurred. As George asked Jerry who was trying to figure out how to sleep with his girlfriend’s roomate, ‘where do you get the ego?’. Soothsayers will sooth I guess. Do tell oh wonderful Oz…what definitively will happen next? Can’t wait to find out reality before it happens!
