Will Trump be indicted next week?

I have my serious doubts but will be purchasing and chilling the champagne just. In. Case. That slimy, slippery slop of slime manages to seep out of any trouble. Hopefully I am wrong about this.

Is this a misdemeanor he may be charged with? Is so, so what? dem4decades Mar 2023 #6
What I've seen on MSMNC is it's a misdemeanor unless they can tie it into campaign financing laws. Silent Type Mar 2023 #8

Being charged by a gj in itself is pretty fantastic to me ColinC Mar 2023 #16

12.01 AM Monday morning and one minute after Trump is disconnected from his life support (note that I am not mentioning Trump becoming brain dead).

I may change my mind as more reliable information comes in, but for now I will pass.

Then it could be a felony, with no minimum sentence and 4 years max, IF 12 jurors vote to convict him.
