re: Donald Trump says he will be arrested on Tuesday

Thing is this indictment isn't even the most serious criminal investigation he's currently facing.

I was saying it on this very board, years ago, that it was a criminal issue for him. But the issue, IMO, is that he lied under penalty of perjury when he signed off on his campaign disclosures and later his OGE filing.

But I really don't see why this would be anything beyond a slap on the wrist. It's absolutely possible Cohen did most of this without Trump's specific instruction or knowledge, he didn't prep his own campaign finance disclosures because that's just unrealistic. The OGE filing is a little worse because it had clearly been explained to him that he would have to lie when he signed it (for those who remember he tried to not sign it), but I don't think the state of NY is interested in his OGE filing.

It'll be interesting to see how he handles this because the way I see it, the charges in GA are much more serious.

ETA: I personally wouldn't have convicted Clinton of perjury either if I were a senator or if he'd been criminally charged with perjury and I were in the jury because it's a fricking blowjob, this is the same sort of level I see this investigation at. Yes his campaign finance disclosures were partially fictional, yes he might even have known but why are they digging this shite up now? WJC did far worse than what he got dragged into Congress for, and I think Trump's conduct after the election was also a far more serious issue than this campaign finance stuff.
