Editorial: Arrest and indictment by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg await Trump

Even though insurrectionist-in-chief Donald Trump was restored to Twitter in November by Elon Musk (Trump still hasn’t resumed his postings and his last tweet was Jan. 8, 2021) and on Friday he was returned to Facebook and YouTube with innocuous greetings, he used own Truth Social Saturday morning to say that “THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”

We hope so and we hope that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his grand jury have built a solid felony case against Trump for paying porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 in hush money in October 2016 in a cover-up conspiracy of their tryst. The facts are well established and former Trump bagman Michael Cohen already pleaded guilty and did federal time for his role in the scheme.

Also in the mix may be the $150,000 ex-Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal received in August 2016 from Trump’s pal at the National Enquirer to stay quiet about her own affair with Trump.
