We already know Trump was found guilty of all 34 counts in this fraudulent election interference trial. And exactly what crime did he commit for which the jury found him guilty. No one really knows!
"I obviously disagree with this verdict as do many others".....
"eventually" either at the state or federal level"...."However, this was the worst
expectation for a trial in Manhattan. I am saddened by the result more
for the New York legal system than the former president. I had hoped
that the jurors might redeem the integrity of a system that has been
used for political purposes.".............
"I think, as I said before, that this case was legally unfounded. When
they were reading those guilty verdicts, the one thing that we didn't
know is really what he was found guilty of. Because if you remember, the judge allowed the jury to find guilt on any one of the three secondary crimes," ......'That meant the jury didn't have to determine exactly what crime was committed."'................"We weren't told whether the jury found any one of those crimes, whether
they found all three of those crimes. I'm not too sure we will know that. That's one of the many issues that I think presents reversible problems in this case,"
“It wasn’t until closing arguments
yesterday when the prosecution got up second, because under New York
law, unlike in most places, the defense has to go first and the
prosecution goes second,” Kelly said. “And after the defense attorney
had already sat down, that’s when we finally learned what the underlying
crime was.”
“He [prosecutor, Joshua Steinglass] got up
there and while he cast a wide net, still saying it could have been a
tax violation, it could have been falsification of other records like
double falsifications, but really they’re hanging their hats on the
violation of FECA [Federal Election Campaign Act],” she added. “That’s
what the prosecution drove home. That’s the principal basis for this
entire case. He [Bragg] didn’t want us to know because that’s a federal
statute.”

Make no mistake, this will come back to haunt them, as this will have long term consequences, and is being termed a ‘Dark Day for America’:
” Republican officials are expressing outrage after a New York
jury found former U.S. President Donald Trump guilty in his business
records trial, accusing the Biden administration of using “lawfare seen
in third world countries” while warning that if political opponents can
target a former president, “they can do it to anyone.”
The verdict was the product of something from a third-world country..........“But now we’ve got one of the most famous individuals in the world, the
former president of the United States, who can be taken down by a George
Soros-funded prosecutor on a crime that doesn’t exist, where not one
person put his finger anywhere near that bookkeeping, and now they are
going to return a verdict and say, ‘Oh, he is guilty, he is definitely
guilty.’ This is a jury pool made out of 85%-90% of the people are
anti-Trump, pro-anybody, anti-Trump — the jury pool,”...........
This corrupt trial, corrupt prosecutor, corrupt judge, and a jury with a corrupt verdict have now created an open season on candidates. Picture the following:
“The rural DA will impanel a grand jury in the 80% red county. The
grand jury will indict Joe or Hunter or both Bidens on conspiracy to
commit bribery charges. Like the New York case (against Trump), it will
be mostly smoke and mirrors surrounding very unsavory activity.” “I do think it has opened the door, now, to at least entertaining
that possibility,” said former Deputy Attorney General Tom Dupree. “You
look at … crusading DAs of a conservative bent wanting to make a name
for themselves."
“When statesmen forsake their own private conscience for the sake
of their public duties, they lead their country by a short route to
chaos.” Sir Thomas More in A Man For All Seasons.
And just like the Nazi's convicted at Nuremberg for crimes against humanity, "who were just obeying orders", Alvin Bragg was just doing his job.
Those who accused Trump of being a dictator and trying to undermine our
country's laws now have weaponized our judicial system to take out an
opponent they weren't confident could be beat in the polls. The
Democrats have started a dangerous war, and the losers are the people of
this country. Election interference must not be tolerated. Trump will
not give up so easily. We are witnessing another historic moment in our
nation's history. The next months could change everything. ...............
“When statesmen forsake their own private conscience for the sake
of their public duties, they lead their country by a short route to
chaos.” Sir Thomas More in A Man For All Seasons.
By Rich Kozlovich
One of my favorite movies is a Man For All Seasons, with Paul Scofield as Sir Thomas More, a movie I wish was shown more often, and particularly now. A corrupt judge, corrupt prosecution, lying witnesses, and a predetermined verdict with a selected jury, against a man who truly believed in the rule of law. In his discussion about the importance of adhering to the rule of law, More's challenged:
William Roper: “So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!”
Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”
William Roper: “Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!”
Sir
Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned
'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat?
This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's
laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do
it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would
blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's
sake!”
Let's face it, in no way can Alan Dershowitz be considered a conservative, but it appears he, like Sir Thomas, really believes in the rule of law, and was shocked at what he saw going on in Judge Merchan's court saying he'd 'Never seen such a spectacle'!
Merchan was castigating Costello for rolling his eyes, as the Fox
News host then pointed out "I'm my rolling my eyes just hearing about
what's going on in that courtroom!" Dershowitz then confirmed to Hannity
he's never seen anything like this in the years he's practiced law. Dershowitz
himself rolled his eyes and stared him down, he explained, who had been
sitting in the very front row, "when the judge made some rulings that
were absurd," adding "any first year evidence student would understand that he was making biased rulings in favor of one side."
Justice Merchan has gagged witnesses who were vital to Trump's defense on more than one occasion, including a former FEC commissioner, but allows Bragg's star witness, Michael Cohen, a convicted serial liar and a admitted thief, who ends up destroying Bragg's case.
A case of made up charges for a made up crimes. That becomes important, since normally it's the job of the prosecution to define the crime committed by the defendant. Since Bragg's case is in shambles, Merchan has transferred that responsibility over to the jury. Imagine that!
Trump......was never told which of the underlying crimes he
supposedly committed in the courtroom, so he was not able to defend
himself from them, which according to some legal observers violates the
equal protection clause. His instructions actually were illegal, based on a recent Supreme
Court case in an opinion written by left-leaning Justice Stephen Breyer
that right-leaning Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas concurred
with, regarding the critical need for unanimity regarding an underlying
crime:
They were in effect told to just find a crime, any crime, make one up if you have to. This is part of the lawfare conspiracy, with the mentality as long as you find him guilty of, something, anything, it's fine with me.
None of this is normal, or legal! Now under "Merchan's Rule" it will now only take four jurors to convict Trump in an "unanimous" decision. Four jurors can be a unanimous decision? Where in any law in the land is that valid? Only in Merchan's courtroom, and here's how he will rig this "unanimous" decision.
"Judge Merchan has ruled that the jury does not have to agree on what that crime is. The
jury could split into three groups of four on which of the three crimes
were being concealed and Merchan will still treat it as a unanimous
verdict," George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan
Turley, who has been inside the courtroom, writes. "The jury has been
given little substantive information on these crimes, and Merchan has
denied a legal expert who could have shown that there was no federal
election violation. This case should have been dismissed for lack of
evidence or a cognizable crime."
"You read that right: 4-4-4 is a unanimous verdict. The only thing that’s criminal in this trial is the trial itself."
What if Justice Merchan has been compromised? - Given what we know about what has been going on in Justice Juan
Merchan’s Manhattan courtroom, including the preposterous, over-the-top
bias of this judge for the prosecution and his overt antipathy for the
defendant, Donald Trump, what explains his willing destruction of his
own reputation as a judge?
Each and every legal scholar who has weighed in on the course of the
trial, from Alan Dershowitz to Jonathan Turley and countless others,
(with the exception of those paid by CNN and MSNBC) is gobsmacked by
Merchan’s thoroughly unconstitutional rulings, gag orders, contempt
charges, exclusion of practically every witness with relevant testimony
for the defense, and his allowance of non-relevant witnesses like Stormy
Daniels. He allowed her testimony, too, even though she knew nothing
about the issue being tried, to spew her pornographic filth that could
only come from the mouth of a porn star actress.
At the end of A Man For All Seasons Sir Thomas More asks, Richard Rich, who perjured himself against More, what was the chain of office he was wearing. Judge Cromwell says he's been appointed Attorney General to Wales. More's response?
“For Wales? Why Richard, it profit a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world. . . but for Wales!”
It will be interesting to see how all this plays out for Merchan in the future, but I betting if Trump is re-elected, he's in big trouble, right along with the rest of the corrupt prosecutors and judges. Make no mistake, this is a RICO case.
As a side bar, what happened to Cromwell? He was "a totally ruthless, unscrupulous, political operator" and became Chancellor rising to great political heights of power, until the King became displeased with him, and had him beheaded on false charges, without trial. The perverter of the rule of law met his doom via the perversion of the rule of law....." in his last personal address to the king..... "Most gracious Prince, I cry for mercy, mercy, mercy."
Sir
Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned
'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat?
This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's
laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do
it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would
blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's
sake!”
As you go through these pieces you can't help but see the irony of what's being said, what's taking place and the abject hypocrisy of these leftist racists, Muslim fanatics, media corruption and Democrat insanity. It appears rioting, burning down a city and demanding cops who kill criminals be put in jail is fine, but thugs, who just happen to be black (imagine that) who kill a small child have to be given the benefit of the doubt. And the media is silent. Perhaps we should try and remember a 13 month old child named Antonio Santiago.
I've always found it interesting how Asians typically vote for Democrats, and wonder what's wrong with their minds. I'm now wondering if watching how Democrats are destroying any semblance to stability is a game changer for them?
Muslim cohesion is a delusion. Islam is a political criminal movement masquerading as a religion. Islam is a Medieval tribal society with sects that hate each other as much as they hate everyone else. That's a foundation value of Islam, right along with greed, lust, envy and violence. And the media is silent.
The article that should strike home is this attack on who I consider the finest jurist to sit on the Supreme Court in my 77 years, Clearance Thomas. The outright racism of white leftists and black race hustlers is outrageous, yet if you never pay attention to anything except the mainstream media propaganda, you would never be exposed to that reality.
DA Bragg Goes Into Cover-Up Mode Over House Subpoena- 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........
Dems to Hold 2024 Convention in Nation’s Voter Fraud Capital- The Democratic National Committee has officially announced its choice
of Chicago, famed as the nation’s voter fraud capital, to host its 2024
convention. Joe Biden, on whose behalf the DNC had, in true Chicago fashion,
already rigged the selection of early party primary states, personally
called billionaire Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker to tell him the
prearranged good news.“Chicago is a great choice to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention,” Biden said in a statement. And considering Cook County’s vital role in Democrat voter fraud, it’s almost the inevitable choice..........

Price then sent a hostile email blasting Asian-American critics as ignorant of “constitutional law” and

mob..............
Muslim Attacks Imam Over Islam. Media Blames Islamophobia. "In our religion, you should not wear a tie.” For several days, the media kept pushing the story of an Imam who was
stabbed in his mosque, tying it to someone scribbling over a name that
had Allah in it at that mosque and implying that this involved
Islamphobia. National stories at CNN and the New York Times failed to mention that the stabber was a fellow Muslim.................
The 30-Year Leftist Lynching of Justice Clarence Thomas - No other Supreme Court justice has faced the unrelenting 30-year leftist lynching of Clarence Thomas.Even Justice Kavanaugh, whose hoax persecution was closely modeled on
Anita Hill, was largely limited to an effort to sink his nomination.
Leftist rage against Thomas has been sustained for decades by his strong
conservative principles and the inconvenient fact that he is a black
man and the left’s illegitimate power derives from claiming that it is
protecting black people from oppression… by a black justice.The latest round of leftist attacks have gone after Justice Thomas’
wife, Ginni Thomas, and Leola Thomas, his 94-year-old mother.
“Reporters” have gotten busy hounding Leola over the status of her home. None of these “investigations” have turned up anything resembling a
crime, but by targeting the justice’s family members, they hope to
intimidate him into resigning and clearing the way for Biden to appoint a
leftist to take his seat. And, barring that, perhaps to stress him into
suffering health problems................
Crime Killed a Quarter of a Million Black People. And the racist pro-crime Left wants more. - Over the last decade, BLM, and assorted leftist and libertarian
groups dismantled our criminal justice system. Police forces were
defunded, pro-crime prosecutors refused to lock up criminals, federal
and state prison systems released tens of thousands of them, and a wave
of legislative decriminalization legalized everything from shoplifting,
to drug dealing and mugging. The pro-crime policymaking that eliminated public safety and cost over 3,000 lives
in 2020 alone was done under the guise of fighting racism. Statistics
which showed that black people were more likely to be arrested,
imprisoned or shot during criminal encounters with police were used to
spread conspiracy theories falsely accusing the criminal justice system
of systemic racism............
San Fran State Investigates Iranian Islamic Studies Prof for Blasphemy Is this Iran or San Francisco? -Gov. Gavin Newsom keeps falsely claiming that California is the home
of freedom. Not only is California the least free state in the country,
but a publicly funded university is investigating an Islamic studies
professor of Iranian origin for blasphemy. Is this Iran or San Francisco? Hard to spot the difference. Maziar Behrooz teaches a variety of history classes at San Francisco
State University including two courses on the Islamic World. During one
of these he showed a picture of a Shiite religious icon of Mohammed. A
(presumably Sunni Muslim) student complained and SFSU is conducting an
investigation of Behrooz............
Biden’s New Muslim Liaison to Fight ‘Institutional Islamophobia’ From attending an event featuring a World Trade Center bombing co-conspirator to the NSC. - In 2010, the Islamic Society of North America honored one of the unindicted co-conspirators of the World Trade Center bombing. Also at the ISNA convention were three members of the Obama
administration: Rashad Hussain, George Selim and Mazen Basrawi. Hussain
went from working as Obama’s envoy to the Organisation of Islamic
Cooperation (OIC) to serving as Biden’s Ambassador for Religious
Freedom, while George Selim joined the ADL as its VP of National
Affairs. And Mazen Basrawi was brought in as the Director of Global Engagement
at the National Security Council under Biden and will now also double
as the White House Muslim liaison. The appointment reveals that the
Biden administration sees Muslims in America as an adjunct of the
foreign Muslim governments and Islamist entities whose cooperation it is
trying to solicit.............
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................

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.................
The first grand jury indictment against Donald Trump, like so many highly-anticipated gotcha moments involving the former president, landed with a thud this week. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s 34-count bill of goods failed to impress legal and political observers across the spectrum. Even Ruth Marcus, associate editor for the Washington Post,admitted the legal basis for the charges is “unnervingly flimsy at worst.” News coverage of Bragg’s faceplant is
quickly disappearing from the front pages as all desperate eyes now
turn to Jack Smith, the mysterious figure appointed by Attorney General
Merrick Garland last year ostensibly to take over the Justice
Department’s investigation into Trump’s culpability for January 6 and
alleged mishandling of classified documents. As I explained here,
Smith is special counsel in name only; the team of investigators and
prosecutors who initiated the first set of inquiries simply changed
letterhead............
For the first time in history, a vice
president will testify before a grand jury considering evidence of
crimes committed by his former boss. Mike Pence, after winning partial
immunity, reportedly will answer questions about his exchanges with
Trump in the weeks leading up to the protest at the Capitol. Oddly,
Pence will not be compelled to discuss what he did on January 6—a dubious protection considering his key presence throughout the day and into the next morning.........................To Read More.....
A consensus has been reached by the legal panels at the alphabet soup
media outlets — the people who consider "consensus" to be synonymous
with "proof." They've looked at Alvin Bragg's charging document and are
less than impressed with the strength of his legal reasoning. Their
reaction was something like: Bragg investigated Trump for two years,
upended our legal system, and launched a media circus for this? This
nothingburger is all he's got?
District Attorney Bragg charged President Trump
with 34 stacked misdemeanor charges of business document errors,
which are past their statute of limitations,
and are bumped up to felony violations,
with the claim they were done to hide a felony,
which is still hidden because Bragg is keeping it a secret from the court and the defendant.
That's apparently how it's done in New York............Here's my question: does any of Alvin Bragg's treatment of President
Trump constitute a civil rights violation? We actually have a law
against that. Its title is "MISCONDUCT BY LAW ENFORCEMENT & OTHER
GOVERNMENT ACTORS -- Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law" (18 USC §242). It states:..........
No one is above the law and Trump has to be prosecuted because Trump threatens "our democracy", and will impose fascism on America.
Well, that's the leftist meme, and as in all things from the left, it's all smoke, mirrors, lies of commission, lies of omission, restructured fallacious history, and defining the English language, and logical fallacies.
While it's clear after Trump is elected in 2024 he will be threatening "their democracy", but he will be preserving "our Republic".
So, I think it's only fair to ask this question. What do you get if you take out the lies and logical fallacies in a conversation with a liberal? Blessed silence.
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,

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
City arraignment of Donald Trump and talked with them about how they
feel about the former president. No surprise -- they don’t like him. Among people O’Keefe encountered was Sylvia Wertheimer, a lawyer in the
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
president,” she said................
Report: Trump judge's daughter worked for 'Kamala Harris campaign'- The Democrats' latest in their years of schemes to "get" President
Trump was on stage in New York on Tuesday, with his arraignment on
charges that apparently stem from a so-called "hush money" money payment
made by a former lawyer years ago. As the details that leftist District Attorney Alvin Bragg will claim
is evidence will develop in court, other bits of information are
becoming available – about the judge and his family...............
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
in the USA.....
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
former president has become the first
in US history to face felony charges, however, they have something else
in common: Whether this Trump case fails or not, the “historic first”
could become a horrific curse for the both of them. The Ironclad Trump Case – Or Bragg’s Delusion?........
Ari Fleischer: Conservative Prosecutors Have to Go After Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Hunter Biden- Some conservatives have suggested that the Democrat persecution of
Trump won’t stop until conservatives start going after Democrats in the
same way. Former George W. Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer is now one of them. Last night on the Hannity show, he suggested that conservative
prosecutors need to go after people like the Clintons and Hunter Biden..........
Mike Davis Let’s Jim Comey Know Where He’s Going if Trump Returns to the White House -ByJ.D. Rucker Former
FBI Director and current partisan hack James Comey celebrated with a
three-word Tweet when President Donald J. Trump was arraigned on
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:..............
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

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

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

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

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

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
