Left wing journalists, and a number of other leftists, donned their squeaky red shoes and piled into the clown car from the moment the charges against Donald Trump were announced.
Come along with us as we walk you through the latest example of the Left’s never-ending rollercoaster ride of ‘TRUMP IS FINISHED!’ disappointment.
This one is hilarious!
.@NBCNews has now corrected itself: 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records and Conspiracy.
.@mitchellreports advises that other media outlets are reporting 34 felony counts.
— Katie S. Phang (@KatiePhang) April 4, 2023
It all begins with a report from NBC News that the 34 charges that were already expected were joined with a conspiracy charge.
‘CONSPIRACY!’
Dun dun duuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!
NEW: Per @adamreisstv who was inside of the courtroom, the Trump indictment is 34 counts of Falsification of Business Records "in the first degree," (which suggests they are felonies), and Conspiracy.
— Katie S. Phang (@KatiePhang) April 4, 2023
According to NBC/MSNBC reporter, Adam Reiss, and a bunch of giddy left wing journos who hate Trump more than they love their mothers, there was a conspiracy charge.
This is when their hopes began to rise. We love this part.
BREAKING on @MSNBC: Donald Trump just pleaded not guilty to *34 counts of falsifying business records and conspiracy* for his alleged role in hush money payments to two women at the end of his 2016 presidential campaign.
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) April 4, 2023
BREAKING! Oh my! Conspiracy!
Reiss summing up what the prosecutors said: "In describing the indictment, they said Mr. Trump tried to conceal a conspiracy" to influence the 2016 election… https://t.co/FLzyAJCWLE

NBC and MSNBC were working extra hard to screw this one up.
Notice the words from Reiss: ‘Mr. Trump tried to conceal a conspiracy’.
It didn’t matter. They all heard want they wanted to hear.
Per @nbc, indictment unsealed and there is a conspiracy count. very important
— Harry Litman (@harrylitman) April 4, 2023
‘Very important’. LOL.
The indictment says Trump was involved in an illegal conspiracy.

Many outlets were jumping on the reporting, despite having not yet seen the indictment.
Look how excited they were. Jessica Levinson reported that the conspiracy count ‘suggests charges are bigger than the known payment made to Stormy Daniels’.
This tweet has now been deleted.
TMZ ran with the same headline and has now deleted.
All In with Chris Hayes was all in on the bad reporting. Give us a minute while we find our surprised face.

What a shock that these clowns would join the chorus.
Now that they’d absolutely butchered their reporting, they really showed themselves.
Remember how conservatives have mostly been saying these are small-time charges and the DA has politicized this entire debacle in service of the TDS crowd? Yeah, they nearly admitted it today.
They insisted the charges were very, very serious, but WOW did they get excited when they thought there was a conspiracy charge in the indictment. It’s almost like they knew the expected charges weren’t as serious as they were telling the American people.
BREAKING: Trump indictment includes CONSPIRACY count.
So much for the "untested legal theory" and "this will be a hard case to bring" concern-troll talking points.
Conspiracy is a broad crime, meant to capture the kind of organizational criminality endemic to Trump. FTW.
— Tristan Snell (@TristanSnell) April 4, 2023
Snell even all-capped that sucker! LOL.
Look at him go full tilt immediately. The hack hasn’t even seen the actual indictment yet.
NBC is saying that there are conspiracy charges!!

Whoa. Conspiracy.
— Tom Watson (@tomwatson) April 4, 2023
Whoa.
there are zillions of false records with felony bump up prosecuted in NY. and this has a conspiracy count to boot.

Democrat Blogger, Jen Rubin, hadn’t been this excited since Petco’s last buy one get one free deal on cat food.
Conspiracy count grounds bigger story than Stormy– from agreement (the gist of a conspiracy) with National Enquirer all the way to White House, where as President he signs the final checks to Michael Cohen
— Harry Litman (@harrylitman) April 4, 2023
LA Times is really on top of this one … based on secondhand information from an NBC/MSNBC reporter.
Yikes.
🚨 THIS IS HUGE!
The indictment has been unsealed and one of the counts is CONSPIRACY which has huge legal ramifications.
We’ll let you know when we hear more.
— CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) April 4, 2023
HUGE! Maybe even YUGE! Bwahaha!
34 is a lot of felony counts, and that’s before we get to conspiracy. Everybody take a long satisfying drink
— ❤️ Umair (@umairh) April 4, 2023
You know what we’re about to drink?
Yep, liberal tears.
Conspiracy could make this a bigger and more dangerous case. https://t.co/8rPmmKBnvB
— David Corn (@DavidCornDC) April 4, 2023
David Corn, out there corn cobbing himself.
AND conspiracy! And remember, Manhattan DA has to convince the Grand Jury to accept this indictment. So Bragg brought at least 1 or 2 of those others in the conspiracy to testify about it. Was that … Ivanka? Melonia? Weisselberg? And of course Michael Cohen… https://t.co/vPJsaS8JbY pic.twitter.com/MES6kx2PRi
— Tomi T Ahonen Observes Arrestmas Solemnly n Bigly (@tomiahonen) April 4, 2023
We bet it was Melonia. LOL.
Simultaneously seeing reports that there are "34 counts of falsifying documents" and also that there's a conspiracy charge, something's getting lost in a game of telephone or someone's just wrong.
— Matthew Gertz (@MattGertz) April 4, 2023
You know what’s coming next, don’t you?
How many times have we watched this play out now?
Surely, the walls were closing in this time?! It’s a CONSPIRACY charge!
BREAKING: NBC News claimed that one of the 34 felony charges for Trump was "conspiracy," which was heavily boosted by liberal accounts.
A conspiracy charge does not appear anywhere in the indictment. https://t.co/OfagCkZw76
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) April 4, 2023
Womp. Womp.
Perhaps ‘journalists’ should have waited for the actual indictment to be released before they started spreading falsehoods.
They couldn’t help themselves … because Trump.
Deleted this because it was based on NBC misreport. There are no conspiracy charges. pic.twitter.com/GC02Cs3wUg
— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) April 4, 2023
Let the backtracking begin!
Looks like there is no conspiracy charge, just someone from NBC mishearing prosector's description. https://t.co/AaflSq71Z9
— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) April 4, 2023
We think you meant to say ‘just a bunch of clowns parroting fake news from NBC News without verifying it first’.
Is there, or is there NOT a count for conspiracy in the indictment?
— Pam Keith, Esq. (@PamKeithFL) April 4, 2023
This is our favorite part – the disappointment after they convince themselves Trump is toast.
CONSPIRACY not charged. 34 charges of felony falsification of business records. Correcting MSNBC reporting. Deleting previous tweet. ⬇️ https://t.co/nQ0xf5ps3I
— Mueller, She Wrote (@MuellerSheWrote) April 4, 2023
Poor Resistance Twitter was issuing corrections and deleting tweets right and left. LOL!
Why are you deleting tweets, NBC historian guy?
It's just falsifying business records, 34 times.
There's no conspiracy charge. GOD I HATE THE GODDAMN TELEVISION
— Elie Mystal (@ElieNYC) April 4, 2023
You could almost hear the air draining out of The Nation’s resident Troll doll.
the word "conspiracy" does not appear in this indictment https://t.co/F6sAKfRhTI
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 4, 2023
LOL! No, it does not.
Prosecutors said in court that Trump's payments to Cohen were part of a "conspiracy" related to the election. That got a lot of anti-Trumpers' hopes up, but there's no actual conspiracy charge here that I see. https://t.co/c5PsPdMdRU
— Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) April 4, 2023
Tale as old as time … or at least as old as the Trump presidency …
Anti-Trumper falls in love with idea of getting Trump.
Anti-Trumper celebrates.
Anti-Trumper is crushed by reality.
NBC corrects its reporting (sorta) about a conspiracy charge that didn't happenhttps://t.co/Rd6AxmZShA pic.twitter.com/TCeF6BKqIm

So pathetic. LOL.
Trying to quiet the screaming long enough to write. I didn't *think* there would be a conspiracy charge, there were a couple of hours there were I got my hopes up, we are absolutely back to where I thought we'd be. Just pretend this afternoon never happened.
— Elie Mystal (@ElieNYC) April 4, 2023
Let the coping phase begin. Seriously, folks, it has to really suck being this obsessed with Donald Trump.
