Trump will be formally arrested and charged with 34 Class E felonies for falsification of business records tomorrow. But he will not be handcuffed, placed in jail, or subjected to a mug shot, per a source debriefed on Tuesday’s procedures.
The charge of falsification of business records can be prosecuted in New York state as a misdemeanor. But Bragg’s office bumped up all the charges to Class E felonies — the lowest level of felonies in the New York State penal code on the grounds that the conduct was intended to conceal another underlying crime, according to the source.
Under the New York State penal code, a conviction for the Class E felony of falsifying business records can result in a prison term of up to four years. But as a practical matter, that seems extremely unlikely. “No one gets jail time for that as a first offender,” said a New York law enforcement official.
These charges probably relate to the payment to the prostitute, Stormy Daniels.
TRUMP SPOX RESPONDS
A spokesman for Trump said the former president’s legal team had not seen the indictment. Nor have they been briefed on the details. Trump himself responded with a post on TruthSocial.
“Wow! District Attorney Bragg just illegally LEAKED the various points, and complete information, on the pathetic Indictment against me,” Trump wrote. “I know the reporter, and so, unfortunately, does he. This means that he MUST BE IMMEDIATELY INDICTED. Now, if he wants to really clean up his reputation, he will do the honorable thing and, as District Attorney, INDICT HIMSELF. He will go down in Judicial history, and his Trump-Hating wife will be, I am sure, very proud of him!”
Could this get any more ridiculous? 34 felonies???
Bragg’s office leaked the indictment to CNN. That’s unlawful grand jury disclosure. There’s more evidence that Bragg committed a felony than Trump did.
But they’re indicting Trump bc they’re terrified of him. They can’t control him and the country destroys what it can’t control. pic.twitter.com/NLrq6yul6i

The real problem Bragg will have is proving that President Trump personally made the entry on the books. Donald Trump has an Army of Accountants and Lawyers who make these decisions and entries for him. Donald Trump didn’t make this decision which is why one else would even touch the case. Donald Trump hires Licensed Professionals to make these decisions.
Alvin Bragg will say that he didn’t Leak anything; some of the Licensed Professionals in his office did that. Will Bragg throw someone in his office under the bus to stay out of jail?
During WWII when a jew saw a Nazi do something illegal, and reported him,did the the authorities punish the nazi or punish the jew?
We all know the answer.
That is where we are today but the jew has been replaced by the right winger, the nazis are obviously the democrats.
In a criminally run nation, this is what happens. The leftist crooks are flaunting their power and laughing at us. They know there is no mechanism to stop them, that their opposition is run by corrupt allies.
The intention is to haveTrump removed from the ballot in some primaries. That can easily happen in California and New York, depriving him enough delegates to win the nomination.
Will any decent state officials somewhere indict any leftists for their real crimes?
