On the Katie Phang Show on MSNBC, a legal commentator raised the potential that the bail conditions for former president Donald Trump may be affected by his post on Truth Social that foretold his Tuesday arrest.
Trump announced on Truth Social Saturday morning that he does expect to be arrested on Tuesday in connection with a Manhattan District Attorney’s Office inquiry into payments reportedly paid to Stormy Daniels. In the case of his arrest, Trump also urged protests.
On the Katie Phang Show on MSNBC, legal expert Glenn Kirschner was questioned about whether Trump’s post may be “used against” him.
“This is what we refer to as a statement of party opponent under the rules of evidence,” he said. “This post would be marked as a government evidence, and I would present it during his criminal trial.”
He also suggested that Trump’s statement, which he called a “miscalculation” and a “dog-whistle,” would have an impact on the terms of his bail and compared it to comments the president made on January 6, 2021.
“He has just provided food for thought for the court that will rule over his arraignment hearing regarding what type of conditions should be placed for the release of this dangerous person pending trial,” he said.
“For the same reason that he would have told the proud boys to ‘stand back and stand by,’ this is a dog whistle.”
When asked if Trump, who currently resides in Florida, will be required to attend his arraignment in Manhattan and if he will likely be handcuffed and fingerprinted, Virtual arraignments, according to Kirschner, are unusual but still not unheard of in the post-COVID period.
But he added, “I believe Donald Trump will actually be brought to Manhattan.”
He continued, “I think it doubtful we’ll see a perp walk,” noting that Trump’s lawyer has offered to present Trump for the anticipated arraignment, regardless of where it could take place.
What are the citizens to do when evil is in charge?
Why don’t Glenn place his focus on the criminals in the democrats party? But he can’t because it will get him killed! Attacking Trump is not a smart thing to do! Because he was a private citizen and he is protected by the CONSTITUTION LAWS! Not a career politicians like those criminals in the democrats party!
“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.” Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Abigail Adams, February 22, 1787
Trump will destroy the totalitarian America the left desires and that is why they are burning the nation to the ground in their attempt to prevent Trump winning the next election.
