The outcome makes him the first former president to become a convicted felon. Trump reportedly stared ahead motionless as the verdict was read. Kyle Becker @kylenabecker BREAKING.🚨 Here are the 34 felony counts that came in as GUILTY against former President Donald J. Trump. https://twitter.com/i/status/1796288991677047291 The trial centered on allegations that Trump falsified business records in order to conceal a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 US election. Prosecutors under Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg argued that Trump oversaw a scheme to influence the 2016 election by using Trump Organization records to conceal the payments. "Everything Mr. Trump and his cohorts did in this case is cloaked in lies," said prosecutor Joshua Steinglass. "The evidence is literally overwhelming." Trump Responds "This is a rigged, disgraceful trial," Trump said in response, adding "The real verdict will be on November 5." https://twitter.com/i/status/1796291315753201842 Collin Rugg @CollinRugg JUST IN: Donald Trump releases the following video after he was found guilty in the New York City hush money trial. 🔥🔥🔥 “This is the final battle. With you at my side, we will demolish the deep state. We will expel the war mongers from our government. We will drive out the https://twitter.com/i/status/1796309856091300285 Judge Juan Merchan will now decide Trump's sentence on July 11 - days before Republicans are set to select him as the 2024 nominee. The crime has a maximum sentence of four years in prison. That said, Merchan could also opt for home confinement, probation, supervised release, fines or community service. Biden Campaign Responds "In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law," reads a statement. "Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain. But today's verdict does not change the fact that American people face a simple reality. There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box. Convicted felon or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president." As 'Techno Fog' of The Reactionary notes, The target might have been Trump, but the real goal was to influence the 2024 election, no matter the shaky facts and dubious legal theories of the case. Democracy must be saved even through unlawful and unethical means. The enemies of society must be hunted, the obstacles to progress must be destroyed. As the years-long Trump investigation and prosecution continued, and as New Yorkers continue to deal with rampant crime and theft and felony assaults – which they often don’t even report due to “the revolving-door criminal injustice system” – Trump was pursued with rare intensity. The bodega shopkeepers, facing a shoplifting and armed robbery epidemic which empties their shelves and puts their lives at risk, are besides themselves. As are normal citizens whose safety is at risk daily. If only their interests were political. If only the perpetrator were the Republican presidential frontrunner and not a career criminal then perhaps they would see justice. In trial, venue matters. It’s strategic, it’s the selection of a favorable judge and jury. Monsanto is sued in San Fransisco and the jury pours them out for $289 million. Cook County (Illinois) is notorious for high jury verdicts. So too is Philadelphia and Lansing, Michigan. Corporate defendants tremble in fear at being sued in working class cities along the Gulf coast. Texas brings suit against the Biden Administration in the Southern District of Texas – Galveston Division because the one federal district judge there (a Trump appointee) will not hesitate to stop unlawful acts or policies. Hawaii brought suit in Honolulu against the Trump Administration and obtained a temporary restraining order against Trump’s travel ban from an Obama-appointed judge. He was reversed by the Supreme Court, but that process took over a year. And as 'End Wokeness' notes, there's no turning back from the new precedent which has just been set by Democrats. End Wokeness @EndWokeness You will remember where you were today for the rest of your life. America just passed a rubicon. There's no turning back. Comfortably Smug @ComfortablySmug Dems have reached the "send election opponents to jail" stage of defending Democracy Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith I have been a sharp critic of Donald Trump, and unlike the corporate media, for good reasons. This is an utter disgrace to a professed free society. This conviction is the result of one thing: The shadow government attempting to stop him from becoming President again.

Ominous words. I'm surprised he didn't read his oft recited poem, "You Knew I Was A Snake"(that old serpent) ...just to tie it all together. This is the final battle: Those who are at his side in the end...we'll call them the "remnant".
