MAGA Intimidation Ahead Of Indictment?

Officials are seeing red over some Donald Trump-induced MAGA intimidation ahead of an expected indictment.

Top News Today :
For those who’ve been waiting for Trump to finally face the music for myriad crimes and illegalities, it appears that day is near. The big unkept secret is that ‘The Donald’ will be indicted as early as this week for paying hush money to Stormy Daniels as incentive to keep quiet about their affair. However, this is widely expected to be just the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come.

According to The New York Times, Trump himself took to his Truth Social network to warn his sycophants that an indictment was imminent.

“THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE AND FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” Trump posted.

Soon thereafter, Trump’s supporters gathered outside his Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida in response to him sounding the alarm. As expected, his overt call to arms to “protest” as a means to incite MAGA intimidation did not sit well with officials.

“We do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (who is spearheading the Stormy Daniels case) said on Saturday. “Our law enforcement partners will ensure that any specific or credible threats against the office will be fully investigated and that the proper safeguards are in place so all 1,600 of us have a secure work environment.”

Noting how Trump mobilized his followers to storm the Capitol building days before he was forced out of The White House in 2021, officials have prioritized plans to crush any and all MAGA intimidation before it ever begins.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has publicly bragged that the moment they arrest, handcuff, and lead him to jail (which is standard procedure in an indictment), the image will infuriate his followers and serve as a boon to his political campaign for president. However, Maggie Haberman of The New York Times believes that despite his bravado, Trump is deeply afraid of being arrested and worries other charges will soon follow.

“He’s very anxious about the prospect of being indicted for a couple of reasons,” Haberman said during an appearance on CNN. “Yes, two things can be true at once: he is aware that there are reasons to believe this could help him politically, we have heard a lot about this morning already, but he does not want to face getting arrested, which is what happens when you get indicted.

“You get fingerprinted, you get brought in, you have to ask for bail,” she elaborated. “None of that is something that he’s excited about. He and his folks, his political folks are preparing for a huge blitz politically to push back on the Manhattan district attorney. You saw that start yesterday, although I don’t think his Truth Social post yesterday calling for protests was part of a grand plan.

“But I think that is separate from what you’re going to see legally. and while I know that his folks are suggesting that this is a weak case, they don’t actually know what the evidence is,” she added. What it is is trivial compared to the other inquiries. that doesn’t mean there won’t be a conviction, and they have to be mindful of that.”

For his part, former VP Mike Pence warned MAGA fanatics to avoid violence when they see Trump arrested.

“The American people have every right to peaceably assemble and let their voice be heard. And I think it’s extremely important the people have a right to express themselves,” Pence said. “But that being said, there can be no tolerance for the kind of violence that we saw on Jan. 6th or throughout the summer of 2020.”

Folks, we’re living in interesting times. So, buckle up and stay tuned…
