Former president Donald Trump will soon be indicted for criminal racketeering under New York state law, according to Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist David Cay Johnston.
Johnston indicated Saturday afternoon that the charges will stem from Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s ongoing investigation into whether Trump’s company misled lenders or tax authorities about the value of its properties.
“I anticipate they’re going to bring a racketeering charge against Trump,” Johnston said. “Certainly Trump’s team, when he’s indicted, and I’m certain he will be indicted, is going to try to lay the blame on everybody else, and so what the prosecutors want to show that is if (Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer) Allen Weisselberg phonied up documents, it was at the direction of Donald Trump.”
MSNBC host Yasmin Vossoughian then pressed Johnston to confirm that he is certain about an impending indictment.
“Oh, yeah,” Johnston responded. “They would not have done all of this and know how much they know … if they weren’t going to to do this. Yeah, they will indict him. Exactly when? I don’t know. I don’t expect it will be on a straight tax charge. I think there will be a tax charge, but the key charge will be racketeering.”
He added that the timing of the indictment will depend on how long it takes prosecutors to go through five million pages of documents that were handed over by the Trump Organization.
“Once he’s indicted, Trump will have to surrender himself to be booked. I’m sure he will be released on his own recognizance, and then we will see a campaign of trying to delay trial,” Johnston said. “You will see Donald say, ‘This is corrupt, the prosecutors are corrupt, the police are corrupt, the auditors are corrupt,’ because that’s what Roy Cohn taught him when he was a young man — accuse law enforcement, and then delay, delay, delay.”

YOU IDIOTS CAN’T LEAVE THE MAN ALONE CAN YOU? YOU DUMORATS SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON THE PEOPLE, NOT ALL THIS OTHER BULL THAT YOU’RE SPEWING OF HATE. THIEVES, LIARS, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED RAISING PRICES ON SSDI. IT’S CALLED CONTROL.
Actually as an independent, I do want to see them go after Trump on this tax stuff. If you and I did what Trump did, we would never see the light of day!
What is it you know he did?
All the Trump staff and Trump himself can easily escape all this by using the 5th Amendment. It’s that simple, the court can’t get testimony or ever documents. Always a loophole on everything.
“an independent” ? I don’t think so. A bonafide Trump? most definitely.
Forgot the word “hater” after “Trump”
He used the tax code to minimize paying as much as possible to our stupid government.
What’s wrong with that???????????
There is no proof yet. It is all jester from the demoncrats. Don’t believe anything the demoncrats say until you actually see the proof with your own eyes. Besides that, it isn’t the soul responsibility of an owner to appraise his property. If it were every property owner would be in trouble. Common sense.
Would you also like them to go after clinton and all of her crimes while secretary of state? Might as well have an investigation into the dozens of her friends who have committed suicide or died of heart attacks with no history of heart problems. While they are at it why not investigate her selling over 20% of the uranium in our country to a foreign country? How about auditing the The Clinton Foundation that was known for pay to visit her? No one had a problem with President Trump before he became President of the USA. The only problem the democrats have with him is that he is not a pay to play politician and loves the United States of America.
Don’t forget clinton was a senator from NY also. Why is NY not going after her?
Not ‘me’, but you and brandon!
Nothing but BS!!! Go after idiot joe and kamel butt for unlawfully destruction of the constitution and murdering 13 of our brave soldiers and letting murders and drug dealers come into our country.
You’re right DK Tucker! ALL that comes from DEMONICrats ‘plateau’ IS BULL SHIT!! What else are they going to come up with? These retarded LYING A. Holes are the MOST DISGUSTING SPECIES, EVER! They are not human anymore! They sold their soul to satan for MONEY, CONTROL, and POWER. They are drunk on it! Of course nancy is CONSTANTLY drunk too with BOOZE, and BOTOX! One day ( soon I hope), they’ll come face to face with Jesus, for their judgement! Unless they, prior to their ‘ heavenly’ departure, receive Him as their Lord and Savior, They’ll end up BURNING IN HELL FOR ETERNITY! Can’t wait to see the smoke rise! I’m usually not that ‘crude’, but I’m SOOOOO SICK of these people!
Exactly. They have tried and tried and tried since he announced he was running for President to get him. He was fine for everyone when he was building building and dealing in real estate in NYC, but all of a sudden, he became their public enemy #1 while President. I think this guy is B.S.ing everyone.
You’re right! NOTHING BUT BULL SHIT FROM DEMONICrats!
that is a big bullst!!! leave him alone,he is the only one for “we the people” and the world!!
Another fake report go pound sand.
stop wasting taxpayer money on nonsense Money better spent to look into Bidens criminal activities with China, Burisma flooding america with illegals afghanistan election fraud incompetency for starters
Definitely fake
The Demorats can’t stand the idea that he didn’t follow the rules of Washington and got things done plus he KEPT his promises that he made. He brought down unemployment, made AMERICA FIRST, stopped all the illegal immigrants from coming in the swamp, put our embassy in Jerusalem, got peace started in the Middle East by getting an accord going between Israel and the other countries and was on top of getting vaccines out before his term was over. They are afraid of him because the American people love him and what he stands for.
Definitely fake
Definitely bogus and fakenews.
Hay, Tom dont you think they should be going after Biden and his son , or even Pelosi with her stock buys when she had inside info.
This whole thing is destined to bring about the opposite effect Vance is hoping for. Vance will eventually be exposed for the political hack he obviously is while the standing among Trump supporters will be that much stronger. The Looney left will never learn
Liberals and democrats are nothing but DUNG!!!
Still DESPERATELY searching for any “crime” they can dig up on this man simply because they hate him so much and want nothing but revenge. This is the kind of corrupt and pitiful regime we now have running the country. God help us all.
This corrupt One World Order communist government will stop at nothing to scaring sheeple people from keeping their freedom, starting with the fraudulently elected piece of communist child grouping scum in the White House ,if anything happens to Trump it will happen to the every corrupt One World government agency and every socialist pig that corrupted our vote for Trump,our Constitution and our voting rights, and then with the see how long fraudulent puke in the White House can survive, these treasonist scum can’t hide forever they have to drive to get to the underground bunkers, to escape what they created,and they’ll never make it.
just a DISTRACTION from pelosi’s INSIDERTRADING……The REAL CRIMINALS are NOT being investigated…..
Democrates will do anything to discredit President Trump. President Trump loves America and has done more good things for us than any other president ever.
If the IRS did not have problems with Trump’s taxes, where did these extortionists get their information? Made up just like Shiff does? I wonder how any of these lawyers are guilty of money crimes? Maybe we should investigate them! I would love to take the down myself! Make sure that way that they go to prison that way.
Turely FAKE ! THE Only One that needs to be INDICTED is Pretending President Beijing Joseph Russell O’Brien and his CRIME FAMILY. PIGLOSI should also be INDICTED for Her and for her Husband and Frankenstine
and her Husband Intrading just before the STOLEN 2020 Election and There’s Ur # 1 Thugs that should be heading to FEDERAL PRISON. Not ! POTUS Donald J. Trump.
The democRATS will try anything to stop TRUMP FROM RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT in 2024, that is how scared of him they are, when all this hype proves to be Bullsh*t I hope he levels a lawsuit against everyone involved and takes them to the cleaners, hope he leaves them without a pot to Piss in nor a window to throw it out of
