No plea deal, no cuffs, Trump's attorney says

Joe Tacopina, the attorney for former President Donald Trump and an "Imus in the Morning" guest in days of yore, said in an interview Friday that he doesn't expect his client to be handcuffed and there will be no plea deal when he turns himself in to New York law enforcement possibly on Tuesday of next week.

Trump has been indicted as a result of a 5-year investigation over an alleged $130,000 in hush money that his former associate Michael Cohen paid without his knowledge regarding Stormy Daniels, aka Stephanie Clifford, a person who does private things on video for money. The case against Trump is to determine the money recorded in business records was used to conceal or commit a second crime, or whether serial liar, Michael Cohen, is telling the truth for once.

While the indictment is still under seal, The New York Times reported that Trump faces more than two dozen counts while CNN put the number at greater than 30. The actual number is determined by how many things Alvin Bragg can creatively use to go after a former President of the United States.

The weird thing is, the left would love to see a US president go to prison because they are incapable of understanding what that suggests to the world and the implications it will have on the nation in the future.

Tacopina said in an interview on NBC News that Trump “will not take a plea deal on this case. It’s not going to happen.”

In celebration of the news, former CNN host Brian Stelter, consumed a gallon tub of Rocky Road ice cream and Joy Behar of "The View"  felt a tingle go up her legs.

“There’s no crime,” Tacopina claimed. “I don’t know if it’s gonna make it to trial because we have substantial legal challenges.”

In an interview on ABC News, Tacopina said that Trump was “shock[ed]” by the news that he was being indicted.

Nah. He expected it even though it's unprecedented in the country's history.

“This is unprecedented in this country’s history. I don’t know what to expect other than an arraignment,” he said. “I understand they’re going to be closing off blocks around the courthouse, shutting down the courthouse. You know, we’ll go in there and we’ll proceed to see a judge at some point, plead not guilty, start talking about filing motions, which we will do immediately and very aggressively regarding the legal viability of this case.”

The Democrats are hoping for violence from Trump supporters and if they're smart, they will hang back and do nothing but quietly demonstrate their disapproval while wearing buffalo horns and face paint the color of Old Glory.

The news comes as The Wall Street Journal reported that District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has started examining an alleged $150,000 payment to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who was Playmate of the Month for December, 1997 and almost as hot as Melania.

Trump faces additional legal jeopardy in three other criminal investigations into him, including a federal investigation into his efforts to stay in power after the 2020 election, an investigation in Georgia related to alleged meddling in the 2020 election, and another federal investigation into his handling of U.S. government records after leaving office.
