Remember; they couldn't nail Capone for his illegal activities; he was sent to jail for not paying taxes on his illegal gains.
This indictment will be the avenue to expose all the other unsavory and illegal acts committed by you know who.
Wasn't it Russia initially then classified documents most recently. I'm calling nothingburger .. this will fizzle out. Or if it doesn't it will get DJT's base out of their double wides and he'll win the election after which Dems will go full Masada.
I like this development. History has shown us that the full range of characters, and lack of character, can be found in any office at any altitude. Accountability needs to apply to everyone. Sometimes what “the history books” will say is not enough.
Presume there's a trial rather than a plea deal.
The catch will come when, during court testimony, something is revealed that uncovers other misdeeds.
I wonder whether Michael Cohen will meet an "accidental" death before trial.

I'm waiting to see what the indictments say on Tuesday. I'm not sure what will be accomplished by a district attorney pursuing charges in a federal matter past the statute of limitations. The other cases pending against Trump have more meat. This seems like a distraction.

So I prompted chatGPT to critique Alan Dershowitz response to Trump indictment from the War Room.
Quote
Sure, I can provide a legal analysis of the statements made by Alan Dershowitz regarding the indictment of Donald Trump.
First, regarding Dershowitz's statement that the charges could be dismissed by any objective judge, it is important to note that this is a matter for the court to decide based on the evidence presented. While Dershowitz is entitled to his opinion, it is not accurate to suggest that the charges are so weak that they would be dismissed outright by any objective judge. The charges against Trump are serious and involve alleged violations of campaign finance laws and possible obstruction of justice.
Second, Dershowitz suggests that the charges against Trump are minor and not worthy of prosecution, comparing them to actions taken by thousands of people every year. However, the fact that others may engage in similar conduct does not absolve Trump of potential criminal liability. The charges against him are based on specific actions he allegedly took to conceal payments to women who claimed to have had affairs with him, in violation of campaign finance laws. Moreover, the fact that other people may commit similar offenses does not diminish the seriousness of the alleged conduct.
Third, Dershowitz suggests that Michael Cohen, the prosecution's key witness, is not a credible source of information. While it is true that Cohen has pleaded guilty to lying to Congress, his cooperation with prosecutors could still be valuable in proving the charges against Trump. The court will consider the evidence presented by both sides, including any testimony from Cohen and other witnesses, in determining whether or not Trump is guilty of the charges against him.
In summary, while Dershowitz is entitled to his opinion on the charges against Trump, it is important to remember that the case will ultimately be decided by the court based on the evidence presented. The charges against Trump are serious and involve alleged violations of campaign finance laws and possible obstruction of justice. The court will consider all the evidence presented, including any testimony from witnesses like Michael Cohen, in determining whether or not Trump is guilty of the charges against him.

Trump picked Cohen , not Bragg. If only honest people could be fact witnesses we'd never take down mafia figures and all witnesses would be nuns and girl scouts. Only thing that matters is whether the grand jury believes Cohen is truthful now and whether his account is corroborated by other testimony and is supported by documentary evidence
