There are some great articles here, but the one I like best is J.R. Dunn's Bragg vs. the Windmills, where he notes for two years Trump has been telling America the left is really after them, and he's just standing in the way. Now with what is clearly a political persecution Bragg is calling a prosecution, America believes it, and now Trump is ascendant, and Bragg is now the target. They went after a man who thrives on confrontation, and wins over and over again, and the reason why, as Dunn makes clear:
American Left is fundamentally stupid
American leftists have a thickheadedness all their own.
They think only in terms of slogans.
They can’t read or understand the historical record
They can’t come up with any kind of rational program.
They almost always
wind up sabotaging themselves.
They are their own worst enemies.
Can't define reality.
Bragg and his leftist minions have turned belief into crimes, all operating under the same principle as Lavrentiy Beria, Stalin's ruthless secret police
chief who made it clear it didn't matter to him if someone was innocent or not, bragging, "Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime".
But this isn't the Soviet Union. It's the United States of America, and as badly as the federal judiciary has corrupt the simple and understandable text of the Constitution with nonsense such as emanations and penumbras, which is an open invitation by activist judges to twist and malform the law, in effect, making the federal judiciary a real but illegitimate legislature, the fact remains they can only get away with this for so long.
The people of America will wake up and put in a Congress that will put them in their place, because the Constitution give the Congress the power to decide the jurisdiction of the federal judiciary, not the judiciary.
Manhattan D.A. sues Jim Jordan over Trump indictment subpoenas 'Unprecedently brazen and unconstitutional attack by members of Congress', By WND Staff April 11, 2023 - President
Donald J. Trump talks to members of the press along the South Lawn
driveway Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020, prior to boarding Marine One en route
to Joint Base Andrews, Maryland to begin his trip to North Carolina and
Florida. (Official White House photo by Tia Dufour) Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan district attorney who assembled a 34-count
case against President Trump that top legal experts have described as
nothing but a political attack, now wants to make sure no one interferes
with his claims. Especially Congress. Bragg's case essentially is based on claims of misdemeanor
bookkeeping problems for which the statute of limitations has expired.
But he claims they're felonies, and still can be prosecuted, because
they somehow contributed to the furtherance of other crimes, which he
has not specified.
Trump at the Gates. April 12, 2023 By J. Robert Smith -
A few days ago, we heard
from William Barr, D.C. lifer, former attorney general of the United
States, and elections savant. Barr made a prediction about Trump’s
fate, via Fox News and the Murdochs, who hate the former president with a
passion. Or, at least, Fox board member and quisling, Paul Ryan, does.
How outsized Ryan’s influence is on the Murdochs is anyone’s guess.
Or, since Ryan is so spineless, maybe it’s the other way around. Bill Barr is less a savant than a channeler of D.C. conventional wisdom. Here’s Barr parroting his D.C. chums, from Fox News, April 9: "I think ultimately the savvy Democratic strategists know [the
Manhattan District Attorney's Office probe] is going to help Trump, and
they want him to be the nominee because he is the weakest of the
Republican candidates, the most likely to lose again to Biden," Barr
said on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. Where
to start unpacking Barr’s stupidity? Or rather D.C.’s stupidity, which
abounds. D.C. is an echo chamber and all they do is talk among
themselves and run with whatever line emerges...............
Alvin Bragg's Office Offers Stunning Gaslighting on NYC Crime Stats Ahead of Next Week's Hearing, April 11, 2023Rebecca Downs -
Someone should tell Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to look in the mirror, when
it comes to how the George Soros-backed woke prosecutor is clearly
looking to make a name for himself. On Monday, as Julio had reported,
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) tweeted that the House Judiciary Committee,
which he chairs, would be holding a hearing in New York City to look
into the rise of violent crime in New York City. On Tuesday, as Spencer covered, Bragg announced that he was suing Jordan............As former law clerk Mike Davis highlighted, the lawsuit is already off to a bad start..............It is particularly rich that Bragg's office would claim that House Republicans are the ones engaging in "a political stunt" when it comes to the hearing..............And let's not pretend that New York City is some crime-free paradise.
The New York Post in particular had been sounding the alarm for years
about crime and Bragg, but even The New York Times provided some acknowledgment as well. "Major Crimes Rose 22 Percent in New York City, Even as Shootings Fell," read a headline from January 5...............when it comes to the 30 cities with the highest homicide rates as of June 2022: Not
surprisingly, of those 30 cities, 27 have Democratic mayors, the
exceptions being Lexington and Jacksonville, which have Republican
mayors, and Las Vegas, whose mayor is an Independent. And within those
30 cities there are at least 14 Soros-backed or Soros-inspired rogue
prosecutors.Those Soros bought-and-paid-for or inspired rogue
prosecutors include................
DA Bragg Goes Into Cover-Up Mode Over House Subpoena, by Daniel Greenfield- What happens when you investigate the investigators? As we’ve seen with Russiagate, they don’t respond well. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg asked a federal
judge Tuesday to block a House Judiciary Committee subpoena that seeks
information on his office’s investigation into former President Donald
Trump.Bragg also asks the judge to preemptively block any further subpoenas
for him or his employees from the committee helmed by Ohio Republican
Rep. Jim Jordan, in what the filing calls an “unprecedently brazen and
unconstitutional attack” on the state investigation........
Analyst confirms Bragg likely violated 6th Amendment with Trump indictment, By Bob Unru
April 6, 2023- Former
President Donald Trump appears in court at the Manhattan Criminal Court
in New York City on Tuesday. As the media scrum fades and the facts start to emerge following
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's cryptic indictment of President Donald Trump
on bookkeeping charges this week, analysts have raised the charge that
he violated the U.S. Constitution with his political agenda against the
likely GOP candidate for president in 2024. A report from Fox News
explains it involves the 6th Amendment, which requires that any
criminal defendant be told of the accusation against him. Fox
documented that the amendment provides for a defendant to "be
informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted
with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining
witnesses in his favor…" However, Bragg's indictment left most of the
details of what he's charged Trump with obscure and cloudy........
Bragg vs. the Windmills, April 14, 2023 By J.R. Dunn - It has always been my
contention, drawn from long experience along with wide reading, that theAmerican Left is fundamentally stupid. This is both in a general and
particular sense. You have to be a little dense – more than a little –
to accept left-wing ideas in the first place. But even among the Left in
general, American leftists have a thickheadedness all their own.
European leftists have often been true intellectuals – people who do the
reading, who are open to debate, who believe in ideas. But American
lefties are simply punks. They think only in terms of slogans. They
can’t reconcile experience and ideas. They can’t read or understand the
historical record, or even grasp why it has any connection to the
current situation – which strongly argues for a lack of understanding of
simple cause and effect. They can’t come up with any kind of rational
program. They almost always wind up sabotaging themselves. They are
their own worst enemies. Which brings us to Alvin Bragg, the dumbest attorney in the United States of America............
Bragg’s Farce and the Path to 2024 We could be witnessing a masterclass in subversive campaign strategizing, By
Hicham Tohme
April 11, 2023 - There is little doubt in people’s
minds that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of
former President Donald Trump is politically motivated. Polls show that
60 percent of Americans believe it to be the case, including 70 percent
of independent voters, and even 30 percent of Democrats. Bragg has so far failed to reveal any
legal merit to his prosecution, especially since he bumped the charges
from misdemeanors to felonies. Incidentally, his tenure as district
attorney has been marred with a staggering 22 percent increase in crime,
partly due to his decision to downgrade 52 percent of felony charges to
misdemeanors.................
I've stored a lot of articles dealing with this circus act and the primary clown for the circus, Alvin Bragg. This is one of those, "be careful what you wish for, you may get it", scenarios. The left and the Democrats ranted and raved and demanded Trump be accused of some crime, any crime, real or imagined, arrested, put on trial and sent to jail.
They only had one problem. He's not committed any crimes. So they made one up, and this foolish action has set things into motion they're not going to like.
Democrats ignoring core principles put America in peril, April 6, 2023 By Molly Slag - Considering current
events, it may be appropriate to reflect on selected principles that are
perpetually applicable, no matter the time or place. Democrats, by
ignoring them, are hastening a dystopian future in America.........Everyone
knows of Lavrentiy Beria, the Russian Wolf Hound who promised Stalin,
"Show me the man, and I'll show you the crime." Less well known is that
Beria met his end in the dungeon, his own crimes having been shown to
Stalin. This illustrates the Carousel Principle: "What goes around
comes around." When Alvin Bragg's chief witness, Michael Cohen, a man described by Victor Davis Hanson as
"a felon and confessed liar, with a deep personal hatred of Donald
Trump," stated a few days ago that the New York indictment was "only the
beginning," his divination foresaw other follow-on indictments of
Donald Trump. Yet he may be more accurate than he
imagines, as every state and federal prosecutor in the land can play the
Beria game with any state or federal politician. Bear in mind that
damage does not require conviction; the accusation is sufficient. Per
the Carousel Principle, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw
stones................
Just about everyone on the left has screamed, laughed, and hugged themselves dancing in celebration over Bragg's actions except for two families. Although I may have missed it. The Clintons and the Bidens have been pretty much silent, and if that's true, then there's a reason why. They recognize the future consequences this precedent has set, and the danger it represents to them personally. I haven't seen anything from the Obamas either, and now the leftist media has apparently had an epiphany, and walking away from their earlier ecstasy.
Make no mistake, this has the potential to be a nightmare for all these deep state inner circle criminals of the Democrat party. All it takes are Republican prosecutors with guts.
Exclusive: Jim Jordan Subpoenas Manhattan Prosecutor Who Resigned over Suspended Trump Probe, Ashley Oliver House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jim
Jordan (R-OH) escalated Republicans’ investigation into the Manhattan
district attorney’s indictment of former President Donald Trump by
subpoenaing a prosecutor on Thursday who resigned from the office last
year over the district attorney’s initial reluctance to pursue Trump’s
case. Jordan’s subpoena, reviewed by Breitbart News,
directs Mark Pomerantz, who resigned from Manhattan District Attorney
Alvin Bragg’s office in February 2022, to appear before the committee
for a deposition on April 20. In a cover letter accompanying the
subpoena, Jordan said his committee had legislative reasons to demand
Pomerantz’s testimony.......
The Biden connection, April 6, 2023byScott Johnson - This morning’s New York Post column
by Miranda Devine is ostensibly devoted to an update on Hunter Biden.
When she gets around to Trump’s indictment on New York state charges she
includes a nugget that was news to me: We are watching in real time as they interfere with
another election — by trying to take out the GOP front-runner with
flimsy allegations that he hid hush money to a porn star. Biden foreshadowed this move the day after the midterms last November. When asked about Trump running for president again, he said he would make sure he never takes power again.........The next month, one of the top-ranking left-wing ideologues in Biden’s
Department of Justice, Matthew Colangelo, was sent to Bragg’s office to
run the Trump case. As Mike Davis, former chief counsel for nominations to the Senate
Judiciary Committee, put it, Colangelo, a former NAACP lawyer, is “the
key link” between Bragg and the DOJ “in their efforts to politicize and
weaponize our federal and state justice systems to get Trump.”............I thought readers following the story so far would want to know the
bit about Colangelo. The Biden connection is dirtier and more lethal
than The French Connection of old............
Legal Experts Break Down Flaws in Trump Indictment, By Gary BaiApril 5, 2023 - Following the
unsealing of the indictment against former President Donald Trump on
Tuesday, legal experts say the charges laid out in the indictment are
vague, dubious, and lack merit.“There is no part of the case that is
not weak,” Alan Dershowitz, an attorney who taught law at Harvard Law
School for nearly 50 years and was part of Trump’s impeachment defense
team in 2019, told The Epoch Times in an interview on Wednesday.Trump was charged with 34 counts of
felony-level falsifying business records, Chris Conry, a prosecutor at
the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, revealed during
Trump’s arraignment hearing on Tuesday...............
Legal experts launch ferocious attack against Manhattan D.A. - The day after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who campaigned
for office on the ideology of "getting" Donald Trump, released a
34-count indictment alleging business records violations that somehow
tainted an election, a long list of experts and commenters were on the
attack – against Bragg. "If the New York bench retains any integrity, this case will be
thrown out as legally improper with an admonition to Bragg and his
office for politicizing the criminal justice process," warned
constitutional expert Jonathan Turley.........
FEC member: Bragg's case against Trump 'not a violation of any kind' - A member of the Federal Election Commission says that Manhattan
District Attorney Alvin Bragg's indictment of President Donald Trump
over bookkeeping entries, offenses he claims are felonies, is
essentially a waste of time. The Washington Examiner
interviewed Commissioner James E. "Trey" Trainor, who explained the
circumstances of those entries already were investigated, and a case
against anyone other than the lawyer who made suspect payments was
rejected. "It's not a campaign finance violation. It's not a reporting violation of any kind," he told the Examiner...........
Bragg’s Lawfare Tears Apart A Thousand Years of Anglo-American Jurisprudence, By Wolf Howling -
Manhattan DA Alvin
Bragg’s indictment of Donald Trump is a constitutional obscenity. Bragg
crafted an indictment that denies Trump his most fundamental
constitutional right—one going back 1,000 years in Anglo-American
jurisprudence— to know the criminal charges against him. Bragg goes
still further, rewriting New York law to “get Trump.” If this power grab
isn’t stopped, with everyone involved in the case punished under the
law, nothing will stand in the way of the leftist drive for total power.
O'Keefe captures N.Y. D.A. on camera outside Trump hearing complaining about Constitution- James O’Keefe is at it again. He wandered among journalists on the scene for Tuesday’s New York

office of New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg. O’Keefe
discussed with her Bragg’s decision to indict Trump. “I was
surprised to hear that there’s nothing in the Constitution that prevents
anybody who's even been convicted of a felony for running for

THERE’S MORE – Alvin Bragg’s Case Against Trump Shows Complete Ignorance and Manipulation of Basic Accounting - The dumbest case ever just got dumber. The charges brought
against President Trump by New York City DA Alvin Bragg make no sense.
You would think that if you were going to indict a President of the
United States that you would have a case. But this case offers nothing. DA Bragg should resign. His case against Trump is shockingly weak. On Tuesday, immediately after receiving the indictment against
President Trump, TGP analyzed the document. What stuck out was that
Soros-backed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg claims in his charges that
President Trump made the accounting entries himself related to this
case.The Gateway Pundit pointed out previously that this is nonsense. No
CEO in the world presiding over a billion-dollar company is making
entries in General Ledger or cutting checks. This is total nonsense. .............
EXCLUSIVE: Soros-Backed Manhattan DA Bragg’s Indictment Does Not Identify a Crime, Is Also ‘Trumped-Up’ Beyond Belief- Manhattan Soros-Backed and Obama and Biden connected DA Alvin
Bragg’s charges against President Trump are bogus but they’re also
“Trumped-up” beyond belief. If you want to live in peace, stay out of New York City. It’s
turning quickly into a corrupt communist hellhole. This week’s arrest
of President Trump proves this is the case. President Trump was arrested for allegedly making a payment to a porn
star who was trying to extort money from him. He allegedly paid her
for her silence. This type of agreement is perfectly legal.
Non-disclosure agreements are put in place across the country every day

Conservatives on Trump Indictment: ‘A Rigged Prosecution to Rig an Election’Michael W. Chapman | April 5, 2023 - Following the indictment of former President Donald Trump for
paperwork he filed to allegedly hide a crime that has not even been
named, conservatives and Republicans strongly denounced the legal
chicanery, calling it a “rigged prosecution to rig an election.”
In an Apr. 4 statement, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said,
“What a sad day for America. And what a blow to the rule of law and our
republican form of government. Today, President Trump and the American
people were abused and victimized by New York Democrat politician Alvin
Bragg, who abused his office to try to jail a man he must know to be
innocent.”...........
Trump Impeachment Attorney: 'I Cannot Believe That This District Attorney Did This to the Country'Susan Jones | April 5, 2023 - "It's shocking. I cannot believe that this district attorney did this
to the country, to indict a former president based on this kind of
theory," former Trump impeachment manager David Schoen told Fox News
Tuesday night. Schoen spoke after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted
President Donald Trump on 43 felony counts of falsifying business
records -- without specifying what underlying crime allowed him to
elevate those misdemeanors to felonies.
"I also read the 12-page statement of facts that accompanies the
indictment, and it only raises more questions," Schoen said. "The
indictment is clearly is deficient from a due process perspective..........
A national CNN survey of adults (18+), conducted via text message from March 31-April 1 by SSRS, asked: “How big a role, if at all, do you think politics played in the decision to indict Trump? Fully 76% said politics played a role, with more than half (52%) saying they believe it played a “major role.”...........
Will the Trump Case Backfire on Bragg and Biden Alike?,By James FiteThe historic first could become a horrific curse when the tables turn. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and President Joe Biden both
campaigned – quite successfully – on defeating The Donald. Now that the

Ari Fleischer: Conservative Prosecutors Have to Go After Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Hunter Biden- Some conservatives have suggested that the Democrat persecution of

Tuesday. “Another good day,” he posted.Article III Project
founder and president Mike Davis had a simple retort for Comey, but one
that could carry a lot of weight if he ever becomes President Trump’s
Attorney General:..............
This story is breaking the back of leftists and RINO's, and some of the comments are amazing, as an example, Nancy Pelosi says this indictment and prosecution is an opportunity for Trump to prove his innocence.
Okay, did you get that?
This isn't the Soviet Union, or Cuba, or Iran, or any of the other crap holes of the world. This is the United States of America and we have a Constitution that says everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
It's not up to Trump to prove he's innocent, by rule of law he already is innocent. It's up to the prosecutor to prove he's guilty. Right now, this very moment in time, Donald Trump is innocent by the rule of law the Democrats want to destroy. They wished, passionately wished for all this, but they're going to be sorry they chose such an incredibly stupid course of action, and even Democrats are now feeling scared of the consequences. There's no going back now, and they've opened a Pandora's Box for their own party.
On Monday I published this piece,The Democrats Have Crossed the Rubicon. There's No Going Back! As my regular readers know I have a huge draft file on just about every issue, and from those stored articles I draft commentaries dealing with those issues. Here are the files I've been storing dealing with this blatantly corrupt action by the Democrat party and Alvin Bragg. I deleted the ones I've already used. This is what's left and what's new.
A nation dragged across the Rubicon,
By Glenn Spitzer April 3, 2023
- We finally crossed the Rubicon.While unstable societies regularly resort
to political prosecution, stable societies understand intuitively that
this crude power tactic must be avoided at all costs. That's why,
despite being a wildly unpopular decision, Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon —
to avoid any potential threat of prosecution. Once the threat of
political prosecution enters into the public psyche as a legitimate tool
to solve conflicts of power at the highest level, all bets are
off. Society shifts from one in which ends are achieved through
negotiation into one in which ends are achieved through raw power. Our
leaders quickly come to understand that the only rule that matters in
politics is "might makes right." What is a political
prosecution? You always know it because, unlike with other
prosecutions, people support or oppose it along party lines. The crimes
are vague and difficult to explain. The outcomes are
predetermined. The whole process appears steeped in ends-oriented
justice............
Welcome to the Banana Republic of America, By Brian C. Joondeph
April 3, 2023 - America has officially descended from Ronald Reagan’s “shining city upon the hill” to a banana republic on par with Cuba, Venezuela, or the former Soviet Union. Elected officials from both parties have no interest in slowing America’s decline and most are cheering it on.........Just this week, any semblance of fairness, justice, equal protection
under the law, and a host of other principles which allowed America to
thrive for almost 250 years were thrown out the window. America’s demise
didn’t begin this week and can be traced to the days of FDR and then
the liberal big-government explosion of the 1960s............
The Threat of Secession in Modern America, By Michael Ange April 3, 2023
- Our government seems hell-bent on
maintaining its power over the American people, even if doing so
increases the chances of something truly ugly happening. ............Texas state representative Bryan Slaton introduced a bill, on the
187th anniversary of the fall of the Alamo, to allow Texans to vote on
seceding from the United States. Yes, secession, as in the pre–Civil
War abandonment. Slayton said in a tweet, "After decades of continuous
abuse of our rights and liberties by the federal government, it is time
to let the people of Texas make their voices heard." In fact, history
teaches us that there are a few ways that this movement may be
successful even without secession. First the history. Most Americans may
believe that this war was already fought and even that secession is not a
legal course forward, but a little research proves that the question is
far more complicated than it first appears. One need look no farther
than the aftermath of the Civil War to see the seeds of doubt............Finally, It should also be noted that at least 18 states, as of this
date, have committees, legislative groups or people working at the
grassroots level, to consider or work toward secession. As goes Texas,
will they also?
Destroying the Rule of Law, By Allen West Apr 03, 2023 - If you dislike Donald Trump that is your right. However, if you dislike the rule of law that is supposed to govern these United States of America, we have a problem. The President and declared candidate for president is highly disconcerting, especially when one considers the nature of the so-called "charges." I could not care less if Donald Trump gave "hush" money to a porn star back in 2016. What concerns me is why a misdemeanor being upgraded to a felony offense by a New York City. The same DA who downgrade felony offenses to misdemeanors and released violent criminals back onto the streets to continue assaulting innocent citizens. Why does this same DA prosecute something that has gone past the statute of limitations? Something his predecessor refused to pursue, along with the Federal Election Commission and the Department of Justice..............
Exclusive – MAGA Inc. Spox: Trump’s ‘Only Crime’ Is Being the ‘Greatest Threat to Those in Power’, By Jacob Bliss 2 Apr 2023- Karoline Leavitt, the spokeswoman for the primary
Super PAC supporting President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential
campaign, says there is no question that the “criminal indictment”
against him is just “political persecution,” noting that the “only
crime” he committed is being the “greatest threat to those in power.” “There is no question about whether this is a
legitimate criminal indictment or if it is a political persecution. It
is absolutely the latter, Leavitt told Breitbart News Washington Bureau
Chief Matthew Boyle on Breitbart News Saturday. “The American
people see this for what it is, legal scholars on both sides of the
aisle, even those who are not very fond of Donald Trump, the man
himself, have said, ‘this case has no legal grounding, there is no
crime.'”...........
Yes, We Have Gone Bananas, By Clarice Feldman
April 2, 2023 -The two big stories this
week illustrate the corruption of the legal system and of the Democrat
party, which controls key portions of it. As well, they illustrate the
media’s continuing effort to deny us the truth we see with our own eyes. The Indictment of President Trump. New
York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Jr. has indicted former President
Trump. Arraignment is scheduled on Tuesday. Sometime before then we are
likely to see the charges against him, which reportedly -- as is the
normal order of weak cases -- run to over 20 counts. Charging so many
counts is a prosecutorial trick based on experience: Some jurors may
think the more counts there are the greater the likelihood of a pony
hiding in the manure pile; others may just want to get out of the
deliberations and agree to one or two to get out of there. Almost
universal criticism of this move, by even the editors of the WashingtonPost, suggests there is ample reason to believe this is a meritless, politically motivated prosecution. Quick polls suggest that this view has purchase:.........Bragg’s office (a New York state operation) received federal funds
to investigate Trump, and if you think Attorney General Merrick Garland
was not in some way involved in this matter, you and I are in
disagreement. Within 24 hours of the announcement of the
indictment, supporters donated $4 million dollars to Trump. In the
meantime, the Secret Service is working with law enforcement in New York
to coordinate the arraignment choreography. Of course, given the
prejudice against him in New York among jurists and likely jurors, the
case is not without danger to him, but I wonder how many Secret Service
personnel would be tasked to serving in jail with him?America now has a two-tiered justice system: -- Trump is indicted while
Clinton pays a small fine -- Antifa & BLM rioters roam free while
Jan 6 protesters are imprisoned without bail -- Douglass Mackey faces 10
years for the same joking memes that Kristina Wong posts with impunity.........James O’Keefe has uncovered
what appears to be a huge multi-million dollar campaign money
laundering scheme using the left-wing ActBlue as a conduit: ActBlue
reports thousands of dollars from thousands of unemployed persons to
Democrat candidates. On a door-to-door survey purported donors denied
to O’Keefe and those working with him that they made such donations, and
from all appearances they were never in a financial position to do so.............
Trump’s indictment creates a new era for the GOP. Swamp Republicans hardest hit.,
By Thomas LifsonApril 2, 2023- The indictment and pending arraignment of Donald Trump signals a new era
for the Republican Party. The move by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, not
coincidentally timed to push aside discussion of documentary proof of

nature of the actual political system we live under today. A Twitter thread from an account identified as Big Serge explains.............
Key Things to Know About Trump’s Indictment, By Tom OzimekApril 1, 2023 - Former President Donald Trump’s unprecedented indictment has surged
into the limelight and fueled public debate over whether this case is
legitimate and shows no one is above the law or amounts to a political
hack job meant to thwart Trump’s chances in the 2024 presidential
election. Expectations are that Trump will be arraigned at some point in the
coming week, with a spokesperson for the office of Manhattan District
Attorney Alvin Bragg saying in a statement that it’s now coordinating
with Trump’s attorneys the former president’s surrender. Here are key things to know about the indictment, which was handed
down on Thursday, making Trump the first former or sitting U.S.
president to be charged with crimes.............

narrowest of partisan bias, hostile to dissenting views based on solid
research, intolerant of debate, while falling back on longstanding views
hostile to democracy. While this group of propagandists claims to be
"separate from the newsroom," the newsroom is, most certainly, not
separate from the editorial board.............
There's No Coming Back From This
The radical left finally did it – they indicted President Donald
Trump.Corrupt
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has decided to abuse the nation's justice and
legal system to persecute the Democrats' top political opponent.
This corrupt, Soros-backed DA, who was hell-bent on indicting President
Trump over some made-up "charges," used their usual strategy...pick a
target, then find a "crime."Is America officially a banana
republic?Americans
are seeing the weaponization of the legal system before their very
eyes. This is what happens in third-world countries, not here. The party
in power, for the first time in the nation's history, has indicted a
former president of the opposition party who is actively campaigning to
take back the White House.This is unprecedented and despicable. There's
no coming back from this.If the leftist radicals can come for Donald
Trump, they can come for you – and those like us who want to bring you
the truth.We're
sick of the double standard "justice" system. You don't need to look
any further than how Trump is treated vs. how the Bidens are treated,
especially Hunter Biden. Part of our mission here at Townhall is
to tell the truth about and fight back against the radical George
Soros-backed DAs who care more about political witch hunts than
enforcing law and order and respecting the U.S. Constitution. We will
continue to tell the truth about this disgusting abuse of power against
President Trump and all of us – no matter what.
Since I published this yesterday the number of commentaries about this outrageous corruption of law has been significant, which I've added. It's clear this is going to cause a national scandal. So, I've decided to republish this piece today with all the updates.
From Maverick's commanding officer in the movie Top Gun: "You're ego is writing checks your body can't cash". To paraphrase that: Alvin Bragg, your writing checks your intelligence can't cash. I do believe these leftist misfits will face consequences they won't be able to handle.
I didn't originate the title to this article, and I'm not sure from where I absconded it, but there it is, so let's move on. This idea of arresting Donald Trump and prosecuting him is a convoluted corruption of law by a corrupt Soros prosecutor, who refuses to prosecute actual criminals, dangerous criminals, and is now attempting to go after a former President of the United States over something that's nothing being termed a felony. None of which in any way reflective of the rule of law. Is it possible this could only happen in New York? A city people are fleeing as fast as they can organize their affairs. New York, city and state, are a mess, and the Democrats own it.
Below are the articles I've read dealing with this, and I like this first one particularly as it demonstrates just how corrupt leftists who hold powerful position really are. There's the old line about being careful for what you wish for, as you may get it, and the Democrats are so hot to finding something for which to prosecute Trump, anything will be acceptable to them, even if it's a lie, they're opening doors they may regret in the future.
If this happens, and if he's convicted, this will make ex-Presidents targets for prosecution much more easily than in the past. This will be the precedent, and even if this doesn't go forward now, could still be justification for going after both Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. The difference is there are legitimate legal issues involving corruption by both of these men justifying making them targets for prosecution, there are none regarding Trump.
How about prosecuting members of Congress? I think that's a really good start, and start doing it now. On what charges? Well, since we no longer have a rule of law in this post Constitutional era, does it matter?
As I said, I really like this first piece as the author lists all their attempts to criminalize Trump, all of which has fallen flat, and at the same time totally ignored all the blatant corruption going on in the Biden Crime Family. Yet the drum major of the Nitwit Parade, Joy Behar, claims, If Trump Isn't Arrested This Week, ‘We Will No Longer Have a Country'.
I used to believe there was a bottom to stupid, but between Joy and the rest of that nitwit parade on The View, we now know, stupid not only has no bottom, it has no boundaries.
I will be updating this piece right up until this either happens or not.
Arresting Donald TrumpKevin McCullough |
Mar 19, 2023 For much of the last two months the rumors
have swirled. On Saturday the former President acknowledged it. On
Tuesday it may happen. As I said on That KEVIN Show
this has been one of the worst kept secrets in the modern era. What
happens if they do? What happens if they put handcuffs on a former
President? If
you’ve watched social media this weekend the reaction has ranged. Trump
supporters have asserted flatly that it insures his re-ascendancy to
the White House. Trump haters are mixed with some gloating “we finally got him!”
Some are accusing him of attempting to start a civil war. They say this
because he merely said “protest” in his post on Truth Social that went
viral. Between the gloating and the accusing there appears to be a good deal of panic on the left about the outcome............
Professor Turley exposes the incredible weakness of the Trump indictmentMarch 19, 2023 By Thomas Lifson -
Professor Jonathan
Turley, one of the few brave honest liberals in academia, is far too
nice a person to speak with utter contempt in his voice. But the
substance of what he has to say about the indictment and pending arrest
of former President Donald J. Trump exposes contemptible behavior on the
part of the New State justice system. In two brief clips from an
interview he did Saturday with Molly Line of Fox News, he exposes the
flimsiness of the case against Trump and the illicit origin of the
indictment. First, how Trump could end up convicted even though the
charges are likely to get thrown out on appeal:
Trump-hating John Bolton says an arrest
could get Trump back in the White House if it doesn't go exactly as
leftists would like.......
A two-tiered justice system and the perils of a Trump arrest,
March 19, 2023 By Rajan Laad -Last March, the Federal Election Commission fined Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign $8,000 and the Democratic National Committee $105,000. Their crimes were the obscuring of their funding for the infamous "Steele dossier." The
Clinton campaign attempted to disguise payments to Steele as "legal
services" and "legal and compliance consulting" in campaign filings. Lawyers
working for the Democrats in 2016 hired research firm Fusion GPS to
‘investigate’ Trump. The firm then paid former British intelligence
officer Christopher Steele and his company, Orbis Business Intelligence, to conduct ‘opposition research.’ The
Steele dossier was replete with spurious claims and conspiracy
theories. It was passed on to politicized government agencies which used
it as one of the reasons to spur the Mueller probe. The probe lasted for almost two years, cost $32 million of taxpayer funds, and hung like a sword over the Trump presidency. The vast disinformation campaign was the first step by the Democrats towards outlawing political opposition. But nobody was punished for this.................
4 ways to Get Trump,March 19, 2023 By Clark Wren - "The far & away leading Republican candidate & former
president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday
of next week.," Trump wrote on Truth Social.So the Kafkaesque Ministry of Justice or
the banana republic Justice Department or the weaponized legal system
(whichever is the proper term here) is trying to indict President Trump
in four different ways. The law of averages means that one of these
methods will likely succeed. This Tuesday will be interesting............
Government Tyrants Play with Fire.By J.B. Shurk-The communist thugs controlling America's legal system have chosen to cross the Rubicon, it seems. President Trump says he will be arrested Tuesday now that New York City's corrupt, Soros-funded district
attorney has cooked up some cockamamie criminal indictment against him
involving Stormy Daniels — the same political pawn who was already ordered to pay the president 300,000 dollars in legal fees as restitution in a prior case. If anyone needed further evidence that we reside under a post-constitutional Uniparty regime with utter disdain for the rule of law, add this to the long list of government crimes and usurpations committed against the American people.
Conservatives Rally Around Trump, Katherine HamiltonConservatives sounded the alarm following news that former President Donald Trump expects to be arrested on Tuesday based on “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan district attorney’s office. Republican lawmakers and conservative figures and
commentators said the predicted arrest of Trump, who is running for
president in 2024, shows how the justice system is “weaponized against
all Americans” and warned that the United States is turning into a
“banana republic.” Even so, many conservatives wager an arrest would
only further reveal the extent of Democrat corruption, ultimately
skyrocketing support for Trump’s presidential run...........
Soros-Backed Group Helped Elect D.A. Allegedly Planning Trump Arrest, Nick Gilbertson A George Soros-funded group helped elect
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who former President Donald
Trump says plans to arrest him. “Bragg was elected in November 2021 with indirect backing from
left-wing billionaire George Soros, who gave $1 million to the Color of
Change PAC, which spent to elect Bragg,” Breitbart News noted last year.......
Exclusive — Pence: ‘Reeks’ of ‘Political Prosecution’ -Hannah Bleau - Former Vice President Mike Pence was “taken aback” by the speculation of a forthcoming arrest of former President Donald Trump, telling Breitbart News Saturday that this is not what the American people are focused on.Pence reacted to the rumor, based
on what Trump described as “illegal leaks,” that the former president
will be arrested as part of Democrat, Soros-backed Manhattan District
Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case related to porn star Stormy Daniels...
McCarthy Orders Immediate Investigation, Hannah Bleau House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on
Saturday called for an immediate investigation following former
President Donald Trump’s assertion that he will be arrested next week
based on “illegal leaks” from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. “Here
we go again — an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets
violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against
President Trump,” McCarthy said........
Elon Musk: ‘Trump Will Be Re-Elected in a Landslide Victory’ if Arrested, Robert Kraychik Former President Donald Trump will win
reelection in a “landslide victory” if he is handcuffed and arrested
next week, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter predicted in a
tweet published Saturday. Musk’s tweet was in reply to David Freiheit — also known as Viva
Frei, who, similarly, assessed that a Trump arrest will lead to a boon
of political support for the former president.
Trump
Attorney Says President Donald Trump Will Not Refuse to Surrender If
Corrupt Manhattan DA Indicts Him in Garbage Stormy Daniels Case - Meanwhile, the Biden Crime Family was just caught with documents that
show they were collecting millions from the Chinese Communists. President Trump will not refuse to surrender if corrupt Manhattan
District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicts him next week in the already
played-out Stormy Daniels case. Almost one year ago this month the 9th Circuit Court issued a final
ruling in the case brought against Trump by disgraced attorney Michael
Avenatti and Stormy.............

on Possible Trump Indictment: Fox News Reports Final Preparations Being
Made to Arrest Trump Next Week… He will “Be Fingerprinted and
Processed” - As reported earlier law enforcement agencies are preparing for a possible Trump indictment as early as next week. Earlier this year the Manhattan District Attorney’s office revived
its criminal investigation into Trump’s ‘hush payments’ to porn star
Stephanie Clifford, AKA, Stormy Daniels and elevated the case from a
misdemeanor to a felony. Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ in a scheme
to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being
published in the National Enquirer.
Elon Musk Implies that the Lack of Prosecution for Hunter Biden Shows Political Bias in the Justice System- By:Kay WilliamsonTesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk points to apparent political bias in

the “crimes found on Hunter’s laptop” Twitter user @KanekoaTheGreat tweeted, “THREAD: Joe Biden was the
architect of the 1994 Crime Bill that sent millions of Americans to
prison for doing what his son is doing right here. Why aren’t the Bidens

Elon Musk: “Trump Will Be Re-elected in a Landslide Victory” If Arrested - As The Gateway Pundit
reported earlier on Saturday, President Trump is expecting to be
arrested on Tuesday of next week in relation to the Stormy Daniels case
where he is being accused of paying Daniels as part of a “Hush Payment”.Trump has publicly declared on multiple occasions he has committed no
crimes and that the Manhattan DA’s Office accusations against him are
“debunked fairytales”.News of Trump’s possible arrest has flooded the Twitter-sphere and
has caught the attention of the CEO of Twitter and Tesla Elon Musk. In response to a Fox News clip that claimed Trump will be arrested
and handcuffed next week, Musk tweeted “If this happens, Trump will be
re-elected in a landslide victory.”..............
Trump Calls for 'Protest' to 'Take Our Country Back' If He's 'Arrested on Tuesday',Spencer Brown - Former President Donald Trump shared a new reaction Saturday morning
to reports that the Manhattan district attorney may formally indict the
45th president for alleged "hush money" payments made to Stormy Daniels
back in 2016. As Leah reported
on Friday afternoon, authorities in New York are preparing for a
potential indictment of former President Donald Trump — as early as next
week — in a move those on Trump's legal and campaign teams say would
only help his 2024 bid to return to the White House. .....
On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Saturday Show,” Rep. Maxine
Waters (D-CA) reacted to former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social
post earlier in the day on reports that he will be indicted soon by
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg by stating that by making the
announcement himself, “it’s almost like he’s attempting to organize his
domestic terrorists to show up and to resist him being arrested.” And
“perhaps, he was trying to organize domestic terrorists to protest his
arrest.”
I love this. Mad Maxine,
who has been shown to be an obnoxious beast over and over again, and in
the past publicly called for violence against conservatives,
Republicans and Trump administration employees is concerned about
protests in support of Trump as domestic terrorism.
Burt Prelutsky once noted: "Frankly, I don't know what it is about California, but we seem to
have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I'm
not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even
comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington,
we're Number One.
There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the
likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris,
and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up
on 'Macbeth'. The four of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of
blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or
simply marvel at their ability to form words."
Democrats Accuse Trump of 'Inciting Violence,' As All Part of His 'Playbook', Sarah Arnold
March 19, 2023 - I'm sure if Democrats could, they would throw a parade
in the wake of the news that former President Trump is facing potential
indictment, making it a bit easier for them to keep the White House in
2024 and to push their radical agenda on Americans. Former House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) denounced Trump's call for his supporters
to protest, accusing him of inciting violence. "The former
president's announcement this morning is reckless: doing so to keep
himself in the news & to foment unrest among his supporters," Pelosi
tweeted. "He cannot hide from his violations of the law, disrespect for
our elections, and incitements to violence. Rightfully, our legal
system will decide how to hold him accountable."...........
Law Enforcement Agencies Are Preparing for Possible Trump IndictmentLeah Barkoukis, By Robert Spencer March 17, 2023 - It has been a long time coming, and now the final act appears
to be in view. Donald Trump is about to be arrested, and the corrupt
and politicized authorities who have brought matters to this point are
preparing for the worst: the NYPD, the Secret Service, and even the
FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force are all busy making preparations for
the big day, which indicates several things about what will happen and
what they expect will happen, or want us to think they expect will
happen. NBC News reported
Friday that “local, state and federal law enforcement and security
agencies are preparing for the possibility that former President Donald
Trump is indicted as early as next week, according to five senior
officials familiar with the preparations.” All this talk among security
agencies centers around security preparations at Manhattan Criminal
Court, where Trump will face charges over alleged hush money payments to
porn star Stormy Daniels..............
'That's Obviously the Play Here': Matt Walsh Has an Interesting Theory on Why Trump Might Get Arrested, Scott Morefield
March 18, 2023 -Thepossibilityof
the Manhattan Criminal Court indicting former President Donald Trump on
charges related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels has led to a
variety of theories around the inevitable political fallout to come. Though
the charges reportedly to be brought against Trump initially don't
appear to be anything that would land him in jail for even a day, the
possibility of handcuffs and a perp walk for the former president has
Democrats salivating and conservatives, even Trump critics, aghast that
partisan politics have descended so low. This is the stuff of banana
republics and Third World dictatorships, not what was not so long ago
the beacon of the free world......
The Trump Arrest is the Last Gasp of 7 Years of Fake Lawfare By Daniel Greenfield There’s no case here. And they know it. Having exhausted most of the federal resources in pursuing charges
they couldn’t prove, process crimes that weren’t criminal and cases that
had no crimes attached to them, the ball has partly passed to the
states. (Although Jack Smith’s Special Counsel investigation is the last great hope of the Mueller fanboys.) Clumsy amateurish efforts have advanced in New York and Georgia that
make little effort to disguise the fact that they exist purely to
bolster the political status of the local officials involved. The impending arrest comes from Alvin Bragg, a prosecutor so
“progressive” that even Soros’ people emailed me to disassociate
themselves from him the last time I wrote about him. (It’s pretty bad
when even Soros doesn’t want his name linked to yours.) Bragg ran on a
platform of not arresting criminals and he’s delivered........
The coming Trump arrest is a very dangerous power playMarch 19, 2023 By Andrea Widburg - My mom used a pressure cooker that was the terror of the household.
It bounced around all over the counter and, unless the heat was applied
and the pressure released with incredible care, it was like having a
bomb in the kitchen. When I look at what the Democrats are doing in
America, I am reminded of that pressure cooker. Their latest scheme is
to arrest Trump even as they announce that they are doubling down on
persecuting the almost entirely peaceful J6 protesters who unwittingly
trespassed in the Capitol. The first action builds pressure; the second
denies Americans their constitutional safety valve. I fear that this
cannot end well. Let’s think about the chronology just to make sure we understand what’s going on:......
Vivek Ramaswamy’s viral take on the threat to arrest Trump, By Andrea Widburg - Vivek Ramaswamy, the
businessman turned presidential candidate, has posted a
not-quite-3-minute-long video in which he attacks DA Alvin Bragg’s
efforts to use lawfare to kneecap Donald Trump in the upcoming
presidential election. Ramaswamy’s video has 3 million views on Twitter
as of this post, and the numbers are going up—and no wonder. He says we
what all fear: That the possible indictment of Donald Trump marks
America’s official passage from a constitutional republic to a banana
republic.............
In Alvin Bragg’s Manhattan, a Whole Lot More REAL Felonies Are Being Committed - Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has been very reluctant to prosecute most
people for felonies, but apparently, former President Trump is
different. Compare the last year before the pandemic (2019) with 2022.
Under Bragg, the number of felony cases Bragg declined to prosecute increased from 828 to 1,119 — a 35% increase.
That explains most of the drop in the conviction rate for felonies from
68% to 51% over that period. And while many felony cases were then
handled as misdemeanors (a 33% increase over 2019), the drop in
misdemeanor prosecutions was much larger, explaining why the number of
misdemeanors resulting in jail sentences fell by 78%. What makes this
all the more remarkable is that this huge drop occurred while the number
of offenses increased.......
Trump Calls Persecutor Alvin Bragg a “Racist” in Fiery Social Posts - The ongoing saga surrounding Donald Trump and his hush money payment
to porn star Stormy Daniels has prompted the President to issue some
scathing remarks about the New York District Attorney for the case,

Manhattan prosecutor's office reportedly 'in chaos'March 20, 2023 By Monica Showalter -
When law is tossed out the window, is anybody surprised that chaos follows? That's apparently what we have in the
Manhattan district attorney's office, where Soros-financed District
Attorney Alvin Bragg is reportedly presiding over a chaotic shambles in
the wake of news that his men intend to indict President Trump on
politicized charges............Banana republic politics, banana republic office, just like what you might find in places like Caracas or Managua. The root of it seems to be in Bragg's stated
Trump-hate, which he openly campaigned on when he ran for office in
Manhattan. That's actually illegal, but the matter was ignored by
voters.............He's reduced about half the felony charges of actual violent criminals
to misdemeanors, and thrown the book at the innocent, such as the
hapless Bronx bodega clerk, Jose Alba, who was forced to defend himself
against a poised killer during a robbery...........But as for real criminals, Bragg had other ideas and has made life in Manhattan a living hell............The entire case, as legal scholar Alan Dershowitz has noted, is based on "made up laws,".............It gets worse now that news has broken that the five-year statute of limitations expired ... two years ago..........
Cowardice is not an option in reacting to a possible Trump arrestMarch 20, 2023 By Rajan Laad - If the buzz in the news media is to
be believed, it seems likely that President Trump could be indicted
this week. President Trump also seems to believe he could face arrest
this week.Following the gratuitous raid on
Mar-A-Lago, this would be another draconian move by the Democrats to
target their primary political opponent. So how should citizens react if President Trump is indeed arrested?What happens if citizens engage in protests by assembling peacefully and shouting slogans? Democrat-sponsored rioters could infiltrate these peaceful demonstrations and engage in violence. ............
McCarthy: Manhattan DA ‘Abusing His Office to Target Trump’, Jacob Bliss - House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Sunday said
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is “abusing his office” by
going after former President Donald Trump, while Democrats, including
Bragg, are allowing crime to run rampant. “Alvin Bragg is abusing his office to target
President Trump while he’s reduced a majority of felonies, including
violent crimes, to misdemeanors. He has different rules for political
opponents,” McCarthy said on Twitter following Trump saying on his Truth
Social that he believes he will be arrested this coming week after
“illegal leaks.”.....
Fury at Manhattan’s Bragg over Looming Trump Charges Dominates House GOP Retreat: ‘Stop Going After People Because You Have Political Differences’, Matthew Boyle U.S. House Speaker Kevin
McCarthy lit into leftist Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg at a
press conference as House Republicans gathered to discuss and formulate
their 2023 agenda plans, with looming likely charges from Bragg against
former President Donald Trump coming this week.............“Everyone
in this country — Republican, Democrat, and others — should be outraged
that people will actually use our justice system against their
political adversaries,” Emmer said. “That’s not what this country is
based on and that’s — it’s wrong and I disagree with it.”.......
The Legally and Morally Flawed Case Against Trump, Philip Holloway
Mar 20, 2023- Although we don’t yet know entirely how it
will be structured, enough of the Manhattan District Attorney’s case
against Trump has found its way into the public domain so that we know
the general parameters. The centerpiece of the case is a misdemeanor
charge under Section 175 for supposedly falsifying his business records.
The theory is that Trump paid his former lawyer $130,000.00 in a series
of reimbursements to Cohen and labeled them as legal expenses to
conceal that the money was really to pay Adult Film Actress, Stormy
Daniels for a nondisclosure agreement and that somehow this scheme
violated federal election laws. From a legal
perspective, this bizarre wielding of State prosecutorial power in
pursuit of what is essentially an alleged federal crime is seriously
flawed..............
A Cynical and Political Looming Prosecution, Guy BensoMarch 20, 2023 - Former President Trump announced over the weekend that he expected to be arrested this coming Tuesday, calling on
his supporters to protest the development and "take our nation back."
His office later clarified that Trump didn't have any specific knowledge
about the timing of any imminent arrest, claiming that his Truth Social
posts were simply "rightfully highlighting his innocence and the
weaponization of our injustice system." An indictment is widely
expected, however, and former prosecutors I've spoken to tell me the
fact pattern playing out strongly suggests that Manhattan District
Attorney Alvin Bragg's office is, indeed, moving in that direction. The
editors of the Wall Street Journal made some salient points on this front last week:.......
Empire State Shilling: Manhattan DA’s Office is Exporting Prosecutors for Jan 6 Cases —MORE POLITICAL TROPHY HUNTING, Kelly Wilde The same Manhattan DA’s office threatening
to upend the republic this week with a bogus indictment of President
Trump is exporting activists to prosecute the January 6 defendants in
Washington DC. Carolina Nevin —a backbencher from Alvin Bragg’s Manhattan
District Attorney’s office —has been exclusively prosecuting J6
defendants since arriving at the US Attorney’s office in September 2022.
(Her only publicity after nine years in New York came from prosecuting NYPD officers while violent crime surged in the city.) Nevin’s true tutelage was under former Manhattan DA Cy Vance, whose controversy-plagued office made a reputation of giving a pass to the rich and famous —downplaying Jeffrey Epstein’s
well-documented depravity, and sweeping Harvey Weinstein rape claims
under the rug after receiving more than $20,000 in campaign donations
from Weinstein’s defense attorneys, among other scandals...........
