"Because You'd Be In Jail"
During one of Donald Trump's debates with Hillary Clinton, he quipped that if he were in charge, she'd be in jail.
Now it looks like the one who is about to get arrested may be Donald Trump. Fox News and other sources are reporting that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is preparing to have Trump arrested next week on charges related to his former lawyer Michael Cohen's payment to adult entertainer Stormy Daniels.
RIP Rule of Law
As Daryl Cooper (@martyrmade) suggests below, this would be banana republic-level perversion of the rule of law.
I am well past tired of Trump and frankly find much if his recent behavior embarrassing, but a thousand January 6ths is absolutely the appropriate response if he is indicted. I’m not advising anyone to break the law, but the Founders would.

Ignore this kind of fed posting nonsense. There is nothing to accomplish by taking matters into your own hands, so don’t put yourselves or your families at risk for no reason. https://t.co/PlU83NQ1Jf

One wonders how the markets would react to Trump being arrested on top of the banking crisis (which the First Republic deposit infusion failed to quell) and everything else.
Saturday Morning Updates
Trump on his possibly impending indictment:
Relevant context with respect to the Trump prosecution: Trump has been pulling away from DeSantis in the polls.
Also, Elon Musk has noticed the hands-off treatment of the Biden family in contrast.
Trump responds to the news reports, says he's getting arrested on Tuesday.
Senator J.D. Vance Responds.
If something like this happened, it would not be good for our banking crisis.
But I suppose our bearish bets on a few regional banks would do well.
A bank run out of protest is more powerful than 1000’s of J6’s.
Slow Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Old Man and Old Lady Clinton, and all members of the Biden and Clinton Crime Families should be arrested first.
