The Manhattan District Attorney will likely bring criminal charges against former President and known coup plotter Donald Trump. This follows the news today that the New York Times reported that Trump's defense lawyers met with the Manhattan District Attorney, which would be the final step before announcing criminal charges.
This case involves the hush money payments to the porn star that Mr. Trump had an affair with, and it would be the most straightforward case for the criminal con man to escape. One wonders if other prosecutors would be hoping that he either goes down for this crime, so they don't have to bring charges, or if the Manhattan District Attorney would decline to file charges so they can get the charges themselves. Mr. Trump's coup fanatic followers will claim that this is nothing more than politics playing out on the national level to reason with these people died a long time ago.
Ultimately, the American legal system must prevail, and the facts are clear to anyone who sees it: Donald Trump is guilty of crimes much more terrible than paying off a porn star. He is guilty of crimes against the Republic for his involvement in attempting a government coup.
While one is hopeful charges will be brought against Donald Trump for the hush money payments, I hope it is simply the first domino to fall in a long line of indictments against the terrorist cult leader. Hopefully, this will be the crescendo that leads to the charge of treason for the coup plotting.
