It has been obvious right from the beginning that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s case against Trump was a half-baked mélange of wild exaggeration, unwarranted conclusions, and legal sleight of hand, all in pursuit of allowing Bragg’s fellow Democrats to intone sanctimoniously that Trump was a “convicted felon.”
In a refreshing twist, however, now a top spokesman for Bragg’s own home base, the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office, has admitted as much, calling Bragg’s case “nonsense.” As of this writing on Thursday afternoon, the poor fellow is not yet looking for new employment, but he may be soon.
Nicholas Biase, the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office’s chief spokesman, didn’t mean to out Bragg as a corrupt, politically motivated destroyer of our legal system. He did so in a private conversation with a woman who turned out to be an undercover operative for podcaster Steven Crowder. Instead of impressing his date, Biase ended up on Crowder’s “Mug Club,” ripping into his boss in front of the whole aghast world.
The too-outspoken spokesman has, of course, now apologized and backtracked, but the damage is done. Nicholas Biase showed himself, however inadvertently, to be capable of independent thought. Although he has rushed back to the leftist reservation and pleaded to be allowed to remain there, whether his masters will treat him mercifully or cast him into the outer darkness remains to be seen.
Crowder posted thirteen minutes of Biase talking with his date on social media Thursday. Bragg, according to Biase, was “just stacking charges and rearranging things just to make it fit a case.” Biase also says, at various points in the video, what he thinks of the case against Trump: “Honestly, I think the case is nonsense.” “It’s a perversion of justice.” “It’s a travesty of justice.” “It’s a mockery of justice.” As if that weren’t enough, he adds that “the whole thing is disgusting,” and observes, “That’s why he [Trump] is surging in the polls.”
The New York Post reported Thursday that Biase “said he’d known Bragg for 15 years and previously worked with him at SDNY,” that is, the Southern District of New York. After this, however, it’s unlikely that Bragg will take Biase along to his next job, particularly since Biase ascribed Bragg’s determination to get Trump no matter how much he had to bend the law to do it as a manifestation of the prosecutor’s overpowering ambition.
“He wants to be something,” Biase said. “A mayor? I’m not sure what he wants to be, but I know he’s not happy just being the DA of New York County. Before he decided to prosecute Trump, did you know who he was? You do now.”
That’s true. And while Bragg’s name is more infamous than famous and he will go down in history as one of the destroyers of the republic, his legal persecution of Trump is quite popular, even taken seriously in leftist circles. He may indeed end up in some political office, but if he does, that would also be a sign of the deep illness of the American body politic these days.
Now that the video has come out, Biase is, of course, deeply sorry. He insists that “he made the remarks in a private setting with someone he’d ‘just met’ and was trying to ‘impress.’” Biase certainly isn’t the first man to try to impress a woman by casting his work as tremendously important and interesting. Still, how could he have thought that being critical of his boss and saying things that cast Donald Trump as the victim in the legal proceedings against him could possibly impress someone in New York City?
Biase even went so far as to criticize another politically motivated Trump persecutor, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan, for the likelihood that he will imprison Trump in a couple of weeks over his own flimsy case. “This guy is probably going to try to lock him up,” Biase said. “And there is going to be, it’s going to be ugly… They are so obsessed with getting him.”
When his date asked him who was so obsessed with getting Trump, he answered, “The Democrats … It affects his candidacy if he’s a convicted felon.” Biase didn’t think this would work: “Those felonies did nothing to stop Trump from running … In fact, they made him more relevant.”
New York State Attorney General Letitia James also got low marks from Biase for her civil fraud case against Trump: “Every real estate person in New York does what he did. Nobody’s ever been charged with this … You know, it’s a perversion of justice.”
Yes, it is. And it’s good of Nicholas Biase to be able to acknowledge that, even in what he thought was a private conversation. That he would have to apologize for doing so is an indication of just how much trouble the nation is really in.
It’s a pretty sad state of affairs regarding these undercover gotcha videos with middle aged men being lured to these luncheon or dinner dates with young women. Instead of ‘to catch a predator’ show these videos turn into a desperate older man looking to impress an young woman (who is only heard off camera) for what I wonder? Gee, could it be a hookup…well wonders never cease.
Some people like watching such videos, the epitome are the product of the O’Keefe Media Group. This video with Nicholas Biase runs the same template of all these gotcha videos, where loose lips sink ships and immediately after the public release of such videos, the man tries a half assed attempt at recanting what he said on video.
This is the result of societal norms becoming downright pathetic! Yes, some men cheat on their wives but to capitalize on this human weakness in order to toy with someone at their expense in order to get a story in effect leads to the tabloidization of society. It’s no different then posting revenge porn, deliberately shaming someone at their expense for your own benefit.
Life would be simpler if such men caught in these gotcha videos would actually openly come out to the media in order to benefit society as a whole by shedding light on political transparency. But instead, these men end up being humiliated by spilling the beans to an attractive young woman who was used as bait to secretly record their conversation. As I say – pathetic!
>> “It’s no different then [sic] posting revenge porn, deliberately shaming someone at their expense for your own benefit.” <<
What crap. The video is to the benefit of a return to the rule of law, that benefits everyone but the power-greedy left.
Nice example of sententiousness, though.
Yyyyyyaaaaahhhhh but you’re dead wrong! What did I say? I said, “This is the result of societal norms becoming downright pathetic! Yes, some men cheat on their wives but to capitalize on this human weakness in order to toy with someone at their expense in order to get a story in effect leads to the tabloidization of society.”
Sorry but young women arranging a lunch or dinner date under false pretenses and illegally wiretapping (video and/or audio) the conversation is crap! That’s not journalism, a real reporter gets a story by having 2 independent sources going on the record to verify a story.
You know who uses young women decoys in order to meet men and records them? Private detectives hired by wives married to wealthy husbands to get evidence of cheating in order to be in a better position come the divorce settlement. But to use that same template in undercover gotcha videos solely to post sensational sound bites on social media is pathetic!
Sorry but entrapment videos are a sign of the decline of both society and legitimate journalism. You are of the mindset that means justify the ends. Isn’t this the same mindset of anti-Trump people who are fine with all the lawfare and the past attempts of certain states seeking to remove him from the ballot? Just as with the upcoming election, you win elections through the stand you take on domestic and international policy. You don’t win elections by trying to prevent your opponents from running. Just as with reporting a story, there are legitimate ways of getting to the heart of a matter and then there’s honeypot entrapment along with illegal wiretapping.
Get it now? See the difference between moral and immoral means?
The simians get together and concoct these poo flinging, Stalinist show tribunals meant to politically assassinate a hated opposition POTUS candidate, and when their own dirty, cheap methods are used against them in order to expose their motivations, you yell ‘foul’ and defend these muggers, the very ones who have no honor, no decency whatsoever.
Right, life isn’t simple and it never has been. Is there something wrong with this technique of getting the truth out? I don’t know, but I do know that everyone decent was saying the same thing he is saying the whole time. If the goal is to get the bad guys to confess, maybe such means are justified.
And yet…the guy spilled the beans, didn’t he? I lived for 20 yers in New York City. No one, and I mean no one, would try to impress a date by saying how corrupt their boss was for screwing over a Republican. Sounds like a guilty conscience to me, or perhaps, a Democrat/Communist who fears he’s going to end up with a Republican president because his side dropped the ball. But Biase needn’t worry. The Communists and Globalists are all in with the vote rigging, and the Republican establishment (like China Mitch McConnell and Mike-I-Have-No-Johnson are all in to help them win. Hello, Chinese style Communism!
I like the observation of guilty conscience, it indicates at least that he has one. Unlike our MSM. If there were such a thing as real journalism, we wouldn’t need outfits like OMG. And these “trials” Trump is victim of would likely never have happened.
“Life would be simpler if such men caught in these gotcha videos would actually openly come out to the media in order to benefit society as a whole by shedding light on political transparency.”
Yes it would but the only way to “catch” these leftists is by enticing them with the possibility of sex. This is nothing like revenge porn as you suggest. This is what it takes to get the truth out of a leftist government official. It is sad and pathetic that these “men” don’t have the balls to speak the truth.
What you fail to ask is if it’s true.
It is.
The fake B.S. trial against Trump is easily known for the concocted show-trial that it is.
This undercover act of journalism (doing the work that the MSM simply won’t do) is icing on the cake.
Imagine legal cases piled on against Jug-eared Barry. Mobs of rioting morons would ensue. (Only question would be how many are bussed in.)
At least the cases against B. Hussein would have merit – forcing liberals to go long on clichés and short on details.
In a world where patriots like Douglas Mackey are railroaded to 10 YEARS prison via a corrupt leftist prosecutor, undercover videos can be the only recourse available.
(Perhaps you could lament the crooked lawfare, instead of a video exposing it.)
“Muckraking” is as American as apple pie- going all the way back to Nellie Bly going undercover in the 19th c. “hospitals” and exposing the corruption there.
Bravo OMG and Crowder.
That’s a very pathetic take on the article. So the Democrats did the same thing when their alleged servers in the Congress were found to contain Muslim brotherhood people programming their stuff and having access to all of their top secret information from the nation. What was the hue and cry? Oh the fact that they did it. Not the fact that they hired scumbags to steal the information. Ridiculous
Lol. Let’s not equate cheating on one’s wife, with the politicalization of democracy.
The fear of the truth by the left makes these undercover exposes, even more relevant.
The truth is the truth, regardless of how you get there.
Ya wanna catch fish? Use good bait.
She was the proper sort of bait for this pair of loose lips. Good on her for playing her part well and getting a BIG net full of prime fish.
I find it very amusing how these corrupt and crooked gummit uffishuls are so full of pride they MUST fall, and eventually all of them do. Even funnier that they get highly incensed whenever they are played for the stupid fish they are, then try and turn it about to save their own “face” toward the public. Bragg, James, Marchon, are all corrupt to the core and are abusing their authority under the public rust to desroy the foundations of this nation.
I have always appreciated James O’Keefe and his brilliant work.. using his hidden cameras to ferret out and expose the truth behind so many corrupt scams. Add this guy to the team. Yay!!
This whole trial is a Travesty of Justice and whole verdict should be overturned and the Judge should relieved of his job and Soros needs to lose his American Citizenship him and his criminal Son returned to their Nation of Birth and George Soros put of Trial for his War Crimes from WW II
Thanks Robert !!!
So, George Soros stooge Alvin Bragg’s spokesperson outed the lawfare DA to impress a dinner date. Did the blabbermouth’s admission that President Trump was framed in Manhattan result in a goodnight kiss? Inasmuch as duplicity is not a fault but a feature in certain “woke” circles, I wonder if the couple’s next date is still on.
No fact, just Bragg.
“Now that the video has come out, Biase is, of course, deeply sorry. He insists that “he made the remarks in a private setting with someone he’d ‘just met’ and was trying to ‘impress.’””
The standard cop-out here in the Age of O’Keefe.
But, women being what they are, it would be much more impressive and sexy to posture as a Righteous Galahad of Anti-Trumpism.
And every Lefty male knows it.
FKH
FTW
TRUMP4EVR!
Thank you Thank you Thank you for this undercover video—God Bless You and Your Team!!!
Who said Pride comes before the fall — Fat Alvin – hey hey hey is about to fall and fall hard — This dukey dip shit after a drink to impress no doubt a hot lady, lets his pent up frustration spill out — maybe there is ethics left and maybe if this Nicholas Biase, has enough ethics left to be salvageable and could take this embarrassment for letting his peepee control his brain and be the next DA?
This is the undercover video on YouTube:
DOJ Chief Admits Trump Indictments a Politically Motivated ‘Perversion of Justice’
Alvin Bragg resembles race hustler and MSNBC propagandist Al Sharpton before he was deflated like a punctured beach ball, down to the DD bra cups. If justice actually existed, he and would be in prison for malicious prosecution.
If main stream media were fair and held the government to account, we wouldn’t need these undercover videos.
He’s our new hero!!
Nicholas Biase on T-shirts!!!
