NBC News is reporting that law enforcement agencies are preparing for what was, until recently, largely considered unthinkable.
The indictment of a former president of the United States.
According to five senior law enforcement figures speaking on the condition of anonymity, local, state and federal agencies are discussing security plans involving the Manhattan Criminal Court if New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg decides to charge Trump for his alleged connection to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels:
The officials stress that the interagency conversations and planning are precautionary in nature because no charges have been filed.
However, charges could come as soon as this week.
The agencies involved include the NYPD, New York State Court Officers, the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, the officials said.
NBC News has reached out to all of those agencies for comment, and all have declined to comment.
Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, pleaded guilty in 2018 to a federal charge relating to a $130,000 payment to Daniels, an adult film star, in the closing days of the 2016 campaign. Daniels has said the money was to keep her quiet about her claim that she’d slept with the married Trump in 2006, an allegation Trump denies.
American Liberty News previously reported on the latest revelations from the Georgia grand jury probe of the former president and potential 2024 Republican nominee:
According to a new report in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, prosecutors under Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis may have a trump card in their special grand jury probe into interference in Georgia‘s 2020 presidential election results.
Former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman said the “incendiary” sounding evidence empowers Willis, described by colleagues as a “pit bull in the courtroom,” to go “big” with her charges.
Igor Derysh of the Journal-Constitution first revealed how the grand jury listened to a previously unheard phone call involving Trump and then-Georgia House Speaker David Ralston (R), where Trump pushed Ralston to convene a special session and reverse Joe Biden‘s certified win.
…
Speaking to a local news station the following day, he said that Trump would like a “special session of the Georgia General Assembly. He’s been clear on that before and he was clear on that in the phone conversation yesterday. You know I shared with him my belief that based on the understanding I have of Georgia law that it was going to be very much an uphill battle.”

In my humble opinion it is STILL a witch hunt.
So how is paying a porn actress to keep a “date” with some guy private a crime? Is paying off a blackmailer a crime? How about paying a ransom to kidnappers?
Who is determined to prevent Trump running again? Why?
The speaker of the house is now having the DA investigated.
