When it comes to inciting a violent riot, Donald Trump has priors. One need only look to the violence that erupted on January 6th, 2021, after Donald Trump posted, "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"

my favorite investigation thus far of the Trump crime family....this one involves both DOJ and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and it implicates conduct since Trump left office and after he was expelled from Twitter and launched his own social media platform, Truth Social.

The matter involves a so-called “blank check company” called Digital World Acquisition. Blank check companies have no established business plan but gather funds and sell shares to investors with the intention of merging with or acquiring another company in the future. The investors have no idea what they will ultimately be investing in. Under SEC rules, after an initial public offering (IPO), a blank check company’s funds must be deposited in escrow prior to a transaction and held there until shareholders officially approve a merger. As of 2020, a particular form of blank check company known as “special purpose acquisition companies,” or “SPACs,” made up 50 percent of the market for IPOs. This figure represents a huge spike prompted by the SEC’s temporary inability to approve traditional IPOs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump took advantage of it to launch Truth Social.

In April 2021, Trump’s representatives had a videoconference with Patrick Orlando, Digital World’s chief executive. A month later, Digital World advised the federal government in securities filings that it had not identified or had discussions with any potential merger targets.

In October, Trump Media & Technology Group merged with Digital World, which provided $293 million in funding it raised in its IPO on September 8, 2021, mostly from big investors who pitched in as much as $30 million apiece. The series of events drew the attention of the SEC, which opened an investigation in December 2021, presumably out of a concern that Trump and Digital World might have secretly planned the merger before going public and failed to disclose their communications to the SEC. According to reporting by the New York Times, the average time for public blank check companies to find a target to merge with and complete a deal is 17 months. Digital World did it within a month of going public. The SEC probe has delayed the Trump Media-Digital World merger indefinitely.
Even among the especially well informed, five has been the magic number of criminally tinged investigations implicating former President Donald J. Trump:
First, there is the investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) into the classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago.
Second, there is DOJ’s investigation of the effort to stymie the transfer of power following the 2020 election, including the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Both of the first two investigations are now led by Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed last November; there is little publicly available information about how they are proceeding.
Third is the investigation—led by Fani Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia—into election fraud in that state, arising from Trump’s having asked the Georgia secretary of state to “find” enough votes to hand him an Electoral College win there. A “special grand jury” hearing the evidence wrapped up its work earlier this year, and Willis said in late January that a decision on whether to press charges was “imminent.”
Fourth is the set of investigations (some criminal, some civil) into Trump’s various corporate enterprises. The attorney general of New York state, Letitia James, and the district attorney of Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, have each been leading probes. Their efforts have already seen results—including the closure of the foundation whose funds Trump admitted misusing and the criminal conviction of both the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg for tax fraud—and are still ongoing.
Fifth is the long-running investigation Bragg is leading into the alleged campaign hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. This is the case that could dominate the headlines this week: Trump himself said on Saturday that he expects to be “ARRESTED ON TUESDAY” and called on his followers to “PROTEST.”
But as it turns out, there’s a sixth—this one involves both DOJ and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and it implicates conduct since Trump left office and after he was expelled from Twitter and launched his own social media platform, Truth Social.

Trump is crystal clear that he wants retribution against the people who wouldn’t let him…
In April 2021, Trump’s representatives had a videoconference with Patrick Orlando, Digital World’s chief executive. A month later, Digital World advised the federal government in securities filings that it had not identified or had discussions with any potential merger targets.
In October, Trump Media & Technology Group merged with Digital World, which provided $293 million in funding it raised in its IPO on September 8, 2021, mostly from big investors who pitched in as much as $30 million apiece. The series of events drew the attention of the SEC, which opened an investigation in December 2021, presumably out of a concern that Trump and Digital World might have secretly planned the merger before going public and failed to disclose their communications to the SEC. According to reporting by the New York Times, the average time for public blank check companies to find a target to merge with and complete a deal is 17 months. Digital World did it within a month of going public. The SEC probe has delayed the Trump Media-Digital World merger indefinitely.
Trump, who reportedly knew Orlando beforehand, launched his lumbering social media site, Truth Social, through Trump Media in February 2022. The delayed merger, if completed, would provide the company with up to an additional $1.3 billion in capital. As of April 2022 (more current data is not readily available), there were 513,000 active daily users and 2 million monthly users on the site, as compared to Twitter’s 368 million active monthly users.
In June 2022, it was revealed that a federal grand jury—which issued subpoenas to Digital World board members—is also involved. Last week, the Guardian reported that federal prosecutors have expanded their criminal investigation to examine two loans totaling $8 million that were wired to Trump Media through the Caribbean from entities connected to an ally of Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin.
The first payment of $2 million came in December 2021, around the same time the SEC opened its initial investigation. Orlando, who is a licensed SEC broker, reportedly sourced the payment from Paxum Bank, which is registered in the tiny Caribbean island of Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic). A promissory note identified another entity, ES Family Trust, as the lender. Two months later, ES Family Trust sent Trump Media another $6 million.

A trustee of ES Family Trust, Angel Pacheco, is reportedly also a director of Paxum Bank, which has a history of providing banking services for the sex worker industry, purportedly putting it at a higher risk of engaging in money-laundering activity. Paxum Bank is also partly owned by Anton Postolnikov, an apparent relation of Putin ally Aleksandr Smirnov. Smirnov, in turn, heads the maritime company Rosmorport, which is controlled by the Russian Federation. Smirnov worked for Putin in a variety of posts in the Russian government—in the office of the president, in the Ministry of Justice as first deputy minister, and elsewhere.

Will Wilkerson, a former Trump Media executive who was fired from his post, reportedly filed a whistleblower complaint with the SEC alleging that the Trump Media-Digital World merger was rife with “fraudulent misrepresentations . . . in violation of federal securities laws.” Also according to Wilkerson, in the spring of 2022, Trump Media’s then-chief financial officer, Phillip Juhan, considered returning the $8 million cash infusion but decided not to because, with only $12 million total in its accounts at the time, the company was already financially vulnerable.

There is some indication that Donald Trump Jr. was aware of the $2 million payment. The Guardian reports that he sent an email acknowledging a message that the payment was pending.

As a SEC licensed broker, Orlando’s liability includes due diligence mandates under SEC anti–money laundering rules. Federal anti–money laundering statutes apply more generally, although prosecutors must show, among other things, that the individuals in question knew that the transaction involved proceeds of some other criminal activity, such as a felony, and that the transaction was designed to disguise its source. Wilkerson has reportedly said that, although Trump was the chairman of Trump Media at the time, he didn’t seem particularly interested in the day-to-day running of the company. He was, however, interested in the conclusion of the merger, as he owned 99 percent of the shares without investing any of his own money.

So, to sum up: Donald Trump is involved in yet another probe that could potentially result in criminal charges against him or his associates, this one a yearslong federal investigation by the SEC and DOJ relating to the creation and funding of his Truth Social platform.

A final twist in the criminal probe involving Trump Media involves the former president’s use of social media. He was banned from Facebook and Instagram following the January 6th attack on the Capitol, but Meta (which owns those platforms) announced in January that he would be reinstated, and on Friday of last week, he resumed posting on Facebook.

Yet he has not yet returned to what was once his favorite mode of communicating with the public—tweeting—even though Elon Musk reinstated Trump’s Twitter account last November. Trump’s Truth Social platform has, again, a total of 2 million monthly users; his dormant Twitter account is vastly larger, with 87.4 million followers as of today. So why has he stayed away from Twitter?

The reasons no doubt include the stalled merger. If Trump gets back on Twitter, he will devalue his own platform and disappoint investors. Shareholders could then sue him. Columbia University law professor Eric Talley told Semafor: “If it’s going to look, later on, that he never had that intention” of staying off Twitter “but he just wanted to convince people that they should go ahead and close [the SPAC deal] that’s kind of a textbook securities fraud lawsuit.”

N.Y. Authorities Prepare for Unprecedented Arrest of an Ex-President​

Ahead of a likely indictment, law enforcement officials are making security plans as some of Donald J. Trump’s supporters signal that they intend to protest.

He would be fingerprinted. He would be photographed. He could even be handcuffed.
And if Donald J. Trump is indicted by a Manhattan grand jury in the days ahead for his role in a hush money payment to a porn star, the former president of the United States of America will be read the standard Miranda warning: He will be told that he has the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.
These are among the routine steps for felony arrests in New York. But the unprecedented arrest of a former commander in chief — one whose devoted supporters once staged a violent attack on the Capitol — will be anything but routine.
Last week, senior officials from the district attorney’s office and the state agency that runs the courts had preliminary discussions to plan for a possible indictment and arraignment. So did officials from the Police Department, which patrols the streets outside the Lower Manhattan courthouse, and the court officers, who handle security inside the Criminal Courts Building, where Mr. Trump would be arraigned.
And on Sunday, more than a dozen senior Police Department officials and two of the mayor’s top public safety aides held a virtual meeting to discuss security, staffing and contingency plans in the event of any protests, one person with knowledge of the meeting said.
That meeting followed a call from Mr. Trump himself, in a post on his site Truth Social on Saturday morning: “PROTEST,” he exhorted his supporters. “TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”

The former president’s rallying cry, with an indictment looming, conjured up memories of the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol.

Security is also a looming issue in the office of the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, a Democrat who is the first Black person to lead the office. Mr. Trump has lashed out at the district attorney, calling him a racist and saying his investigation is politically motivated.

Mr. Bragg and one of his top aides have already been the targets of threats on Mr. Trump’s social media platform. In an email to staffers on Saturday, first reported by Politico, Mr. Bragg assured prosecutors and other staff that he had been coordinating with the Police Department and court officials to ensure their safety.

“We do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York,” he wrote. “Our law enforcement partners will ensure that any specific or credible threats against the office will be fully investigated.”
Mr. Bragg’s security detail, which is staffed by New York Police Department detectives, may expand in the wake of Mr. Trump’s Saturday post; already the police have evaluated risks to his personal safety, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. In the past, the police department has adjusted its staffing based on its own assessment of the risk to a district attorney, another person with knowledge said.

In the wake of Mr. Trump’s public call for action, there were scattered signs that his followers were planning to protest on his behalf. The New York Young Republican Club announced on Sunday that it would hold a “peaceful protest of Alvin Bragg’s heinous attack” on Mr. Trump at an undisclosed location in Lower Manhattan on Monday evening.

On Saturday afternoon, the far-right provocateur Laura Loomer, who lives in Florida, declared on Twitter that she was organizing a pro-Trump rally outside Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s private club and residence in Palm Beach, to “protest Alvin Bragg’s WITCH HUNT.” But hours later, Ms. Loomer deleted the tweet and encouraged people to attend Mr. Trump’s upcoming political event in Texas instead.

On Twitter over the weekend, the far-right influencer Jack Posobiec called for Mr. Trump’s supporters to launch a “MAGA strike” and withdraw their money from banks en masse in an apparent effort to harm the financial system. Other Trump supporters circulated the main telephone number of Mr. Bragg’s office on social media and encouraged people to call and demand that charges not be filed against Mr. Trump.

Far darker messages were posted on pro-Trump chat boards like Patriots.win, a website formerly known as TheDonald.win, according to a review of social media by the The New York Times and by Advance Democracy Inc., a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that conducts public interest research. In its final report last year, the House select committee investigating Jan. 6 determined that TheDonald.win served as an important nexus for people to discuss and make plans for the Capitol attack.
In the hours after Mr. Trump’s message was posted on Saturday, some posters on Patriots.win, mostly writing under pseudonyms, called for people to join together to protect Mr. Trump.
“Surround Mar-a-Lago or wherever he currently is,” a person named “sir-coffee” wrote, “and prevent law-enforcement from entering.”
Other posters called for a violent response to Mr. Trump’s arrest and said they would welcome harm being done to Mr. Bragg.
“I’d celebrate someone taking out that criminal DA,” someone using the name “trauncher” wrote.
If Mr. Trump is indeed indicted and arraigned, it will be one of the most unusual and closely watched court proceedings in New York history. And accommodation may be made for the former president.
While it is standard for defendants arrested on felony charges to be handcuffed, it is unclear whether they will make an exception for Mr. Trump because of his status. Most defendants have their hands cuffed behind their backs, but some white-collar defendants who are deemed to pose less of a danger have their hands secured in front of them.

After an arraignment, Mr. Trump would likely be released on his own recognizance because an indictment likely would contain only nonviolent felony charges; under New York law, prosecutors cannot request bail in most such cases.

Mr. Trump will almost certainly be accompanied at every step of the process — from the moment he is taken into custody until his appearance before a judge — by armed agents of the United States Secret Service, who are required by law to protect him at all times. Security in the courthouse is provided by New York State court officers, an agency with which the Secret Service has worked in the past. The chief spokesman for the Secret Service, Anthony J. Guglielmi, said he could not comment on any security arrangements for the former president.

It may take several days for the former president to appear at the courthouse. Once he has been indicted, prosecutors are expected to contact the former president’s defense lawyers to negotiate his surrender, a common practice in white-collar investigations when prosecutors have been in touch with defense attorneys.

Some lawyers working for Mr. Trump, who is running for president a third time, have said he will surrender to face the charges and fly from his Florida estate to New York for the arraignment.
The former president has made it clear he plans to use the chargesas part of a campaign strategy to rile up his base.

Surrender, some might argue, is not in the confrontational former president’s DNA, and he often seems to relish antagonizing and attacking the prosecutors who have investigated him.

In the unlikely event that the former president refuses to surrender, he would put Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, his leading but undeclared rival for the Republican nomination, in an awkward political position. Under law, the role of Mr. DeSantis would be essentially ministerial and he would have few legal options other than approving an extradition request from New York.

Still, if New York prosecutors sought Mr. Trump’s extradition, Mr. DeSantis would face an unenviable dilemma. He would be compelled to choose between authorizing an arrest warrant for Mr. Trump and inflaming his base, or attempting in some way to aide his Republican rival, and possibly face legal action as a result.

Yeah, well, she's been sending a few messages of her OWN in recent month, including throwing the rest of the family under the post in the 1/4 billion dollar lawsuit NY AG James is cramming up their asses, lol. Meanwhile, Bragg responded to Blubber Boy's not-so-thinly-veiled threat. He is trotting out his tired "racist" charge. Apparently, only white Republicans can investigate him for his numerous crimes. Hey, it's like Eddie Murphy, IMITATING a cop against a redneck in "48 Hours," a person of color with a badge is the worst nightmare of the fat, felonious fukwad, and here he has THREE: James, Bragg, and Willis. Enjoy your perp walk, you blubbery Orange ape, lol:
