What this means is that the Manhattan DAs office has found corroborating evidence for key parts of Michael Cohen's testimony. And it means, even if convicted, Trump could be out in time to run for president in 2028. Silver lining playbook #mapoli

Erica Marsh @ericareport

BREAKING: Rolling Stone is reporting that Donald Trump’s attorneys are telling Trump that he will lose the Manhattan DA’s hush money case and that he should be prepared to serve 1-4 years in NY state prison.

oh worcester, you are the perpetual shame of #mapoli

So the city straight up retconned a policy in order to prevent a cop's killer dog from having to get murdered because it ate a smaller dog.

Johanna @Johanna_508

ALAS!!! If you visit the city website today- less than 24 hours after the story broke and less than 24 hours after I took the above screen shot- the city’s website has REMOVED and REPLACED the policy. See below

I feel you @Mike_Pence and Ima let you finish but @realDonaldTrump is maga's retribution according to him. And he's threatening public officials like DA Bragg, Is there one elected/unelected @GOP official speaking up against Trump's unhinged threats of violence? #MaPoli @NYCMayor
