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.
Bragg was so bad that the city’s black female commissioner sent out an email warning that, “the new charging policies of the Manhattan District Attorney effectively decriminalizes much of the conduct that New Yorkers are asking the police to address,”
Stories like these regularly pop up.
A man accused of raping his teenage relative secured a sweetheart plea deal from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg — and then went on to allegedly sexually terrorize five people in the Bronx just a month later, The Post has learned.
Bragg is pretty good at not charging criminals, but he’s no good at charging them.
The good news of the 7th year of this kind of lawfare is that it’s devolved down to the D-team. Bragg will get his booking photo and nothing else because he has no case.
As Jonathan Turley notes, “Although it may be politically popular, the case is legally pathetic. Bragg is struggling to twist state laws to effectively prosecute a federal case long ago rejected by the Justice Department against Trump over his payment of “hush money” to former stripper Stormy Daniels. In 2018 (yes, that is how long this theory has been around), I wrote how difficult such a federal case would be under existing election laws. Now, six years later, the same theory may be shoehorned into a state claim.”
Bragg, as terrible as he is, originally acknowledged that the case was a non-starter. He’s using it to boost his popularity. And while the sight of Trump being arrested will outrage and infuriate many, as it should, it’s really a sign of just how much the TDS lawfare has run out of steam.
They know that they have no case, but the media will desperately squeeze some more juice out of the dried orange by emphasizing the reactions of Trump supporters and warnings of violence.
Turley again.
A Section 175 charge would normally be a misdemeanor. The only way to convert it into a Class E felony requires a showing that the “intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.” That other crime would appear to be the federal election violations which the Justice Department previously declined to charge.
The linkage to a federal offense is critical for another reason: Bragg’s office ran out of time to prosecute this as a misdemeanor years ago; the statute of limitations is two years. Even if he shows this is a viable felony charge, the longer five-year limitation could be hard to establish.
Motivated federal prosecutors who can indict a ham sandwich didn’t want to touch this. Their NYC counterparts are not up to this game. They’re going to lose but they’ll get as much publicity as they can out of it.
Thanks Daniel, very interesting.
Will Trump mysteriously commit suicide overnight in jail?
worried about some lone gunman getting through the crowd before he gets into court. who knows if his secret service are on his side.
I don’t think they are.
Trump would be stupid to react to this. He should just deny to be arrested. There’s not a thing that fat ass pussy Bragg can do if he does.
Somebody needs to smash his stupid face. I know I’d like to.
Fuck you, FBI. And fuck Bragg in his ass.
At what point do the openly malicious prosecutions and blatant fishing expeditions come back on these crooked AGs and prosecutors? Lelita james publicly proclaimed and bragged about it.
When you strike the king, you better kill him.
Maybe that’s the plan?
Lovely sentence here: “Bragg is pretty good at not charging criminals, but he’s no good at charging them.”
It is, tragically, true, that there may end up not being criminal charges filed against Trump. Nobody thought to include “trying to sabotage America’s democratic institutions” into the penal code.
Note the deep trust in the institution of democracy.
And that the failure to criminalize opposition to hegemony was an oversight.
No doubt it escaped your notice that no form of the word “democracy,” appears anywhere in our founding documents, and that it was no oversight by our Founding Fathers..
Thanks Cowboy. Since Aristotle was my hero when I was a teenager back in the 1960s, I had a lot of his books. I remember that even back then Aristotle had correctly analyzed the flaws in Democracy, 2300+ years ago.
It is a terribly written sentence. I was surprised to see it. DG normally very good.
Of course, real felony charges, such as bribery, treason, tax evasion, have been ignored since the FBI came into possession of the crackhead’s computer before the election in December of 2019.
The alleged coup occurred on Jan 6. The real coup occurred the first week of November, 2020. A full eleven months after the FBI covered up the laptop scandal.
You suck, A hole
Mickcornhole. You just can’t help being an asshole, can you?
Do not underestimate these people they are very good at what they do . Which is get political power. Any attempt to organize demonstrations will get infiltrated by the FBI & become a PR nightmare, they are making an example of trump to intimidate anyone else who challenges their agenda. Soros pulling his support give me a break he will back this guy to the hilt in his next election. Remember the case will be tried in NYC . They would convict him a jaywalking & throw him in jail .
Surprised, some little bit, by the results from the last two national elections?
Well, not everyone one is.
How familiar are you with the work of Jay Valentine looking into election shenanigans?
These unscruppled fanatics are drawn to power like candira swimming for uretha. Like the power to tamper with election tabulation, idiosyncratic jurisdiction by idiosyncratic jurisdiction.
Remember what they did to the Car’s grandchildren.
Czar’s. Another Android™ substitution.
WordStar™ worked better. Four decades ago.
They need arrest warrants for both the Clintons Obama Impeach Biden and have him arrested as well as the rest of them behind this whole dirty little operation
The Swamp will not prosecute their own. The Clintons and the Obamas are well protected by Soros funded prosecutors in spite of their own scandals. Even Joe Biden has nothing to fear even as solid evidence is emerging concerning the millions he made via his son, Hunter, for access to his-then VP office. Nor will he face impeachment or prosecution for the secret and confidential documents that have been in his possession since the 1970s; Documents that he had no legal right to possess either as a senator or as VP. Trump was never part of the establishment, which is why the controlled media was calling for his impeachment before he was even sworn into office. They will continue with their vendetta against him for as long as he is alive. Such is the depths of corruption by the Democratic Party and their useful “African” American state and district prosecutors.
Theres so much trauma that has been inflicted on the citizens in the time period discussed above but no one ever talks about it because we are caught up in most recent the attack against Trump and us and we have a mindset stunted by fear of the deep state.
Why isn’t it a case against the federal government that it denied citizens their first amendment rights on January 6th?IMO, thats why you haven’t seen all the video. It is likely to show agents ( not Trump supporters) doing damage and inciting the crowd. I am no lawyer but it seems to me that citizens rights continue to be violated. And we at home are scared to exercise our first amendment rights because of government retribution and perceived government dishonesty. The constitution didn’t specify no 1A against the deep state.
Why are there no lawyers willing to do address these issues? Not even someone ready to retire?
And that is just one issue. There are others.
If judges have been compromised, biased or are fearful, why is this not discussed?
No, lets get swept up talking about Stormy whatsherface.
I agree with you.
And “Stormy Daniels” Is hideous.
Every conservative and Trump supporter needs to be very, very watchful and not fall into a trap, This has all the earmarks of a far left scam that could morph into a J-6 type situation. This is so outrageous that it reeks of a trap to goad people into something rash.
Watch out for troublemakers like happened on Jan. 6. Trump has already suggested people protest, so if even one thing happens that even looks out of line the left will use it.
With thanks for the warning from Alan Dershowitz on Newsmax
Newsmax is awesome. So Is Real America’s voice.
The democrats are so wrapped up in their greed and lust for power they don’t know the American people live in this country. They only recognize that there are other people in this country when the election cycle rolls around.
They are famous for their lying, cheating and deceiving those who aren’t grounded in truth. But it doesn’t take much to deceive people who like the democrats, birds of a feather, ya know?
The new world order, what ever they do to people to rid the earth of those they don’t want on the planet, is going to come back at them double, with no vaccine for protection. They deserve everything that is coming, and they are going to have it all, nothing good their way comes. The democats are every bit a part of that crowd.
If the case against Trump is thrown out, or he is acquitted, he will probably win by a landslide in November 2024.
Except for Dirtbagocrat vote cheating.
DA Bragg is doing this because 1. Like AOC, Bragg is racial; his voters are racial. 2. It takes the media spotlight off of the Biden Crime Family temporarily and Rep. James Comer’s recently acquired bank statements which, because they are legally admissible in court against the BCF members, they are tantamount to a conviction for bribery, money laundering. wire fraud, and related federal charges, at least in public opinion. And 3. like his associates in the Democratic Party, he’s a malignant narcissist who doesn’t know his butt from first base about the law and doesn’t care.
I don’t buy the “landslide” predictions. Democrats and assorted Trump-haters, having been led to believe they finally “got” Trump will be that much more determined to stop him at the polls, which they’ve managed once already. Few Democrats have risen up at the shredding of our Constitutional and political norms. The ACLU is now just another outfit pushing “progressive” causes. Lawyers who were quick to defend Guantanamo prisoners are conspicuously ignoring January 6 arrestees.
