15 things people are saying about Trump’s mounting legal woes
As Boris Johnson faces potentially career-ending questions at the hands of the Parliamentary Privileges Committee, Donald Trump looks set to face a similarly life-changing situation at some point in the near future – although his appearance could end with a jail sentence.
BREAKING: Former President Donald Trump will not be arraigned this week, according to an exclusive report from DailyMail. He is, however, expected to be indicted tomorrow and will then make plans to surrender to the Manhattan DA.
This will likely be the start of more than one…

The case centres around whether Trump asked his lawyer, Michael Cohen, to pay $280,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal to buy their silence about allegedly sleeping with them both, as he feared the rumours could harm his 2016 election chances.
The indictable issue arose when he allegedly falsely recorded his repayment to Cohen as being for legal services.
Michael Cohen was sentenced to 3 years in prison, fined $50K & disbarred for paying Stormy Daniels $130K in hush money as directed by & for the benefit of Trump. It’s long past time Trump face the music. pic.twitter.com/g3RvfCDWsp

In an unhinged rant on his social media site, Truth Social, he claimed he would be getting arrested on Tuesday – plus a lot of familiar Trumpy stuff.
Despite asking for his supporters to protest, there was no January 6th-style riot.
In other words, ‘Come to Manhattan for my arraignment. Will be wild!’ It’s time for this sad little man to be tried in every jurisdiction in which he committed crimes. pic.twitter.com/wJfxslKZT4

In some corners of Twitter, it’s the only topic in town.

Let’s be clear: If Trump is indicted in New York, it won’t because the nefarious radical left wants to take him out of the presidential race. It will be because he paid hush money after having sex (while married) to a porn star and tried to write it off as legl expenses.

In order not to alienate our right-wing supporters (and so become hugely more successful on social media), we’d like to say we’re completely ambivalent as to whether the lying, corrupt and bigoted former President of the United States, Donald Trump gets arrested today.

I love when I hear people say, “How do you arrest a former president; it’s unprecedented?” Do you wanna know how? You slap the cuffs on that orange motherfucker and drag him to the fucking station. That’s how.

Indicting Donald Trump could have a chilling effect on future presidential candidates’ ability to offer hush money to porn stars.

If MAGA thinks the Stormy Daniels case is bullshit… I wonder how they feel about:
1. Georgia election interference.
2. Stolen Top Secret documents.
3. Tax evasion and loan fraud.
4 Incitement of an insurrection.— Billy Baldwin (@BillyBaldwin) March 21, 2023

The “party of law and order” has been in overdrive trying to excuse Trump’s crimes as merely a matter of “bookkeeping”. They’re implying that white collar crime is less serious than blue collar crime.
Crime is crime. No one is above the law.

I don't want Donald Trump indicted & sent to jail because I think he is a racist, bigot, sexist, & the worst president in American history. I want to see Trump indicted because he has broken multiple laws & no one is above the law. Accountability matters.

We’ll leave the last word to Stormy Daniels.
Wow! It's a beautiful morning. It's always been my dream to sip coffee on my farm porch and watch my gorgeous horse graze. Anything exciting going on today?
