Legal expert on Rachel Maddow show predicts broader Trump-related indictments are coming

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Now that the Trump Organization and Allen Weisselberg have been criminally indicted this evening, what next? Obviously, Weisselberg will be taken into custody and pressured to cut a plea deal, and the Trump Organization will be dismantled. But this has to be just the first round of indictments, right?

That’s been Palmer Report’s expectation all along. There’s no way the Manhattan District Attorney and the New York Attorney General teamed up to empanel a grand jury for a six month period, just to issue two narrow indictments after one month and then call it a day. It turns out some legal experts agree with us.

For instance, Former Deputy New York Attorney General Danya Perry appeared on the Rachel Maddow show tonight and logically explained why there has to be more to the overall criminal case. She suggested that Donald Trump’s lawyers may have been lowballing things when they told the media that these indictments were just about fringe benefits, and that the DA surely must have more up his sleeve.

Perry laid out her expectation that the New York criminal case will turn out to be bigger than what’s been reported. She said that this could be revealed either through broader indictments tomorrow, or superseding indictments later. In other words, this seems to be just getting started.
